Considering Selling Your Business?

Selling your business is a huge decision. Our team understands that and is here to help you make the right decision for yourself, your family, and your company.

We provide businesses with honest and direct advice from beginning to end. We provide unfiltered answers to all questions and then let you decide to sell or to wait based on information, not a sales pitch.

Vista Business Group uses a team approach to sell your business. Our team will develop a strategy based on your specific needs, implement the plan, and manage the process. We want our clients to be fully educated and aware of exactly how this is going to work. You will understand the value of your business, how deal structure works, and the process of selling a business. Call it our “no surprises” policy.

We have two different options you can use to sell your business.

TWO LISTING OPTIONS WE UTILIZE

How you want to list your business is important information for being successful. We offer two selling options that have proven to get you the very best price and terms possible. Click each option for more information.

The full listing with bidding process option fits business owners who want to sell in a reasonable amount of time, compare multiple offers at the same time, have negotiating leverage, and be able to pick the buyer who is best for them.

This option best fits owners who want to sell at the best price and a set amount of time.
When clients use our Full Listing Option, we proactively look for buyers. We don't wait for buyers to come to us.

If you have an interest in learning more, you may contact us or register as a seller.

Marketed widely or selectively

When using the set price process, owners can decide if they want the business widely marketed or more selectively marketed. The advantages to this process are:

If marketed widely, the process can be very fast. It would be reasonable to expect to have an agreement with a buyer within 4 weeks of starting the marketing process.
If marketed selectively, the advantage is that a limited amount of people will know the business is for sale. The disadvantage is will take longer to come to an agreement with a buyer. It could take long as 24 months, before we come to an agreement with a buyer.

Keep in mind, that no matter what strategy we implement, the potential buyer isn't provided the name of the company until they've signed a confidentiality agreement.

The asking price must be reasonable and fair.

When clients use our Full Listing Option, we proactively look for buyers. We don't wait for buyers to come to us.

Client Successes

Vista Business Group was very instrumental in finding the 'right' type of buyer for my business.They are knowledgeable in virtually all aspects of the process. From determining price, assisting with the LOI, legal and accounting references and with help understanding the purchase agreement documents. Their help was very much appreciated and beneficial.

"Mark, and the team at Vista Business Group, did an amazing job as our broker. They laid out a strategic plan from the beginning. They asked questions to make sure our goals and objectives were met with the sale and how that would be accomplished. They were very attentive and walked us through each phase of the project. If I had to do it again, hands down, I would work with the team at Vista Business Group."

"Vista Business Group has been excellent in their due diligence and follow through on potential acquisition targets and fits. After more than a year of exploring options, we were able to close an acquisition in 2014. Looking forward to working with Vista Business Group on additional future acquisitions.

Thomas Isaac

"With assistance from the professionals at Vista Business Group, I was able to purchase Miller Meats from the retiring owner of the company. I started at Miller right out of school and through hard work rose to the position of vice president and general manager. The owner reached retirement age in 2015 and contacted Vista Business Group to find a buyer for the company he had run for 40 plus years. Vista recognized that I was running the operations of the business and indicated that they had a source that could provide the funds necessary for me to acquire control of the company. They assisted me and the former owner on a daily basis through the process of completing the transaction. I would recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a business."

"I can’t believe I haven’t said thank you yet, but thank you. I really appreciate all the help you gave during this entire process. Having your advice was immensely helpful and helped reduce my stress level from a ten to at least, what, an eight? Seriously, knowing you’d been through it many many times helped me realize it would get done. Who knows, maybe one day we will work together again."

Ben Hardt

After our closing call this morning, we began to get checks, transfers, and wires out. . . . what a crazy day! But we didn’t want to let this day slip by without thanking you both for all your attention and detail towards our company, from the initial sale of business proforma, dealing with prospective buyers, right through to completion and close of sale this morning. I’m sure there will be details to complete in the next 60 days, but with your professional services, you’ve created a clear path forward for our retirement.

Mark and his team were knowledgeable, professional, efficient, and easy to work with! I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone needing help navigating the sometimes rough seas of selling their business!

John Ray

I met Mark Obermueller as a buyer and found him to be very straightforward and professional. When it came time for me to sell, I engaged Vista and was pleased with the entire team and the result. I would definitely enlist them again.

Paul Ryan

Thank you for all of your expertise, patience, and assistance with getting this completed. I do appreciate all you and your staff did for us.

Dennis

President

We were just working on an intermediated deal with a really bad sell-side advisor who was the ultimate cause of us not moving forward with a good company. It was a moment for us to reflect on the great experience we had working with you and the Vista team. Thanks for the great work you are doing for sellers and buyers!

Alex

Managing Director

Thank you for your hard work in identifying the right buyer and playing a huge role in the process to get us here! I will call upon and refer you all moving forward. God Bless you and your families!
