We’re on a mission to empower main street

We specialize in selling main street businesses with revenues from $500k to $5M+.

We only work with business owners and buyers that are interested in selling or buying established and profitable businesses at a fair price based on historical earnings.

We don’t try to sell every type of business and we don’t work with buyers or sellers with unrealistic expectations.

This focus allows us to invest in streamlining the acquisition process for both buyers and sellers.

Business owners are incredibly busy running their company.

Buyers are bogged down sourcing and evaluating acquisitions using antiquated technology and processes.

We’ve reimagined the people, processes, and product to optimize the acquisition process for everyone involved and built relationships with a network of financial and legal service providers that can support buyers and sellers every step of the way.

More than ever, after COVID-19 we are seeing buyers coming from more diverse locations and backgrounds (e.g., entrepreneurs who want to own a business in their industry, local business owners expanding their business, acquisition entrepreneurs, passive investors, private equity, search funds, etc.).

Marketing to local buyers and being overly reliant on business listing sites is unlikely to find you the right buyers nowadays.

Reaching every type of buyer requires a unique marketing plan (ranging from hyperlocal to national) and a buyer experience tailored to each type of buyer that makes a great first impression (learn more about Buying with Beacon).

In this new buyer landscape, we confidentially market our listings to all of the right buyers using hyperlocal, regional, and national advertising (digital and offline), our online community for buyers, and proprietary relationships we’ve built up with qualified buyers.

We are able to offer a unique engagement model that better aligns our incentives with sellers and buyers.

We only charge sellers a 7.5% commission when you sell your business, so it’s completely free to test the waters.

We want our sellers to work with us because they want to (not because they have to) so we give them the option to opt out of their engagement agreement at any time with only 30 days' notice.
