The Synergy Founder Story
Synergy was designed and built to fulfill a need in the small
Business Brokerage Market.
The U.S. has 6+MM small businesses across the country,
(criteria is < 40 employees).
Most Business Brokers do a good job of representing their clients, but clients like the typical Mom & Pop business are just too small for most brokerages. It is simple economics - the time it would take for a consultant to perform even rudimentary business analysis in conjunction with Business Brokerage isn't economically sustainable.
Now, couple that with the added value of business analysis that produces actionable, value adding plans that Synergy and owner work through together and you start to understand the concept and value of Synergy Business Brokerage to a small business.
Value to a Small Business Owner
Every year, over a million small businesses are either sold or go through some type of business transition (U.S. Census Bureau for Small Business statistics).
On top of that, some 35,000 per year see no other options and simply lock the door and walk away. This is unacceptable, because in this case there is no winner, everyone involved loses.
When it comes time to buy or sell a business, where do you turn?
A Business Broker?
Don't get me wrong, most Business Brokers do a great job, but......
what if your business is too small? Is the typical mom & pop business really a good candidate for a Business Broker?
That doesn't seem to be the case.
Further, most small businesses need more than pictures and an MLS listing; they need an advocate, someone who takes the time to work with them to ensure they are able to present their business to the right buyers; in the most effective way possible.
Synergy works with you, in a small business consultant perspective as well as a broker.
Value to a Prospective Buyer
The age-old question.... I want to own my own business, but what business should I buy? What is the right fit for me? What questions should I ask? How do I know the business has been vetted; and that someone has the insight to help me know what is going on in that business? Independent business or Franchise?
Synergy provides a represented small business buyer with insights and analysis that can give a prospective buyer peace of mind. Knowing that the business is not just for sale. It is not just one of many out there, waiting for a new owner; it is a business worth considering. Owner and Agent have worked together to objectively present the business and value it accordingly. It means statements and summaries have been drafted. It means the Agent and seller have reviewed areas that may be opportunities for growth. Seller and Buyer can be represented to share this business insight and avoid buyers remorse that often results from incomplete or outdated information.
How do we serve our clients?
Finding (and analyzing) the right business is only the first step.
What answers will you need to achieve your business goals?
- Will this business achieve my goals for owning a business? I need some real analysis to be confident in my choice.
- What is the best way to fund the business (purchase & operating capital)? Are there options besides conventional, lengthy applications? (spoiler alert - Yes there are!)
- Is there an exit strategy (that aligns with my business goals)? Having a business continuation / exit plan is just as important as getting started. Easier to plan for this at the start of the business than "sometime" in the future.
These are just a few of the reasons you need to work with a Synergy Business Brokerage representative. As a Seller / Buyer or business owner that needs an operational reset or an influx of operating capital - don't just choose an Agent - choose an Advocate!
