Cornerstone Business Advisors
Serving New Hanover County, NC
At our brokerage firm, we don't just represent your business, we partner with you. This approach has led to a 100% success rate in selling the businesses we list. When we list a business, we ensure: 1. The numbers supported by tax returns and documented add-backs. 2. The owners are ready, willing, and able to sell their business within our suggested timeframe and recommended sales price range, which is carefully calculated based on sound valuation principles. This ensures a fair and competitive price for your business. 3. If the business purchase is likely financed with an SBA acquisition loan, we ask our partner banks to pre-qualify the opportunity (i.e., A bank will finance the deal assuming the buyer has the right credit profile). 4. We do the hard work upfront. We collect much of the documentation that Buyers and their financing partners need before we list the business for sale. Banks love our deals because of the documentation we provide to them to underwrite the acquisition. 5. We follow our proven process — See our website (LaunchGrowExit.com). Our team has the experience and acumen you need to sell your business. Very few firms have brokers with first-hand experience in growing and selling companies they have founded, something we are proud to say our team members have done.

Tom Bronson
NorthStar Mergers & Acquisitions
Serving Tarrant County, TX
When founding partners Tom Bronson, Jeremy Furtick and John Gorbutt launched NorthStar Mergers & Acquisitions, their collective goal was simple, albeit lofty – create a unique M&A advisory service that did not currently exist in the marketplace, but was desperately needed. After months of brainstorming, researching and planning, NorthStar was born and began working with the owners of privately-held companies in the lower-middle market. While the core function of NorthStar is not unique – assisting business owners with the sales of their companies – what is unique are the processes, methods and motivations the founders utilized to create NorthStar’s proprietary offering. At first glance, NorthStar’s process appears simple – as it should. The major steps of selling a privately-held business are not difficult to grasp or understand. However, it’s what goes on within those three basic stages of the process that make or break successful transactions and allow business owners to realize their dream exits. That’s where NorthStar has poured an enormous amount of time, money and first-hand experience into developing a proprietary business listing and sales system called the NorthStar Transaction Navigator. TransNav helps ensure NorthStar’s clients are able to sell their businesses for the highest possible price, in the shortest amount of time, with the fewest number of surprises, while NorthStar maintains a vigilant commitment to the owner’s objectives. TransNav comprises three essential elements: 1. Business Assessment & Market Valuation Analysis 2. Marketing Promotion & Buyer Management 3. Due Diligence Oversight & Closing Coordination
