Each business was worth more than a million dollars and successfully launched the seller’s Life Beyond Business,™ Metro Business Advisors reports.
Last year was positive for the St. Louis regional economy, with unemployment levels dropping sharply compared to 2016, according to the latest figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. St. Louis business brokers Metro Business Advisors helped small business owners make the most of that resurgence, closing three $1 million-plus deals near the end of 2017.
The company’s entrepreneurially-experienced brokers worked with each business owner for more than a year to sell the businesses, providing guidance through every step of the process to maximize the value of each transaction. Metro also made referrals to help the buyers secure financing from the Small Business Administration and banks. Selling a small business with the assistance of Metro, a successful St. Louis business broker, proves to be the most reliable and rewarding way to exit a business when the time is right. As one of the top business brokers in St. Louis, Metro Business Advisors is proud to have helped three local entrepreneurs begin 2018 with a secure retirement and/or funding for the next phase of their lives.
“The year was truly rewarding, with three major business sales making the final part of the year especially exciting,” said Metro Business Advisors broker Chris Spenner. “St. Louis enjoyed significant economic progress throughout the year, creating an appealing environment in which to buy or sell a business. We worked closely with each of the three business owner clients for more than 12 months in order to lay the groundwork for the most profitable sale with mutually beneficial terms. By also helping buyers secure the SBA- and bank-provided financing they needed, we are proud to have facilitated three mutually beneficial transactions to perpetuate these businesses. We look forward to sharing our expertise and developing relationships to help more area business owners and buyers make positive transitions.”
