Why a Business Seller Should Use Murphy

Have a Virginia business for sale? Instead of having access to your own local market, we connect you worldwide. Our affiliations with National and International Business Brokerage and Merger & Acquisition associations guarantee you that we adhere to the highest professional standards when helping you sell your business. And, as a client, these networks enable us to provide you with access to the broadest number of qualified, potential buyers looking for a business acquistion – something you just can’t get with many neighborhood real estate and business sales firms.

7 Reasons to Use Murphy to Sell Your Business

• We specialize in Virginia businesses for sale and are certain you won’t find more knowledgeable experts anywhere. We understand “ownership” since we have all been successful business owners prior to joining the firm
• We can prepare a professional valuation of your business to determine its fair market value and ensure that it’s priced appropriately, normally resulting in a faster sale.
• We also create a complete Offering Memorandum that provides more information about your business than what appears in a typical one-page MLS form used by most brokers. Our experience is that this unique Murphy Business service helps us sell a business faster and for more money. Spending more time and attention preparing the sale results in a smoother sale process.
• We design a custom plan to promote your business to likely buyers. This may include targeted marketing, direct mail, consumer and/or trade advertising, etc. as appropriate.
• We directly market your business through our global networks and on multiple web sites. This means that you have hundreds of offices and thousands of brokers working with us to find just the right buyer.
• We understand the importance of maintaining confidentiality, so information about your business is shared with potential buyers in stages only as their level of interest heightens. We do not disclose confidential information without a signed Confidentiality Agreement and work toward full disclosure with either an Offer to Purchase or a Letter of Intent.
• We will use our banking contacts to assist the buyer in arranging financing. This includes traditional financing or SBA small business loans. By doing this we can also help to minimize the amount of seller financing, if any, needed.

Listing your business is only the first step in a business sale. We’ll be with you to guide and assist throughout the entire process including the closing.
