Frequently Asked Questions

What does Tangent Brokerage's valuation process involve?

It starts with a phone discussion of your business's financials, policies, and procedures, followed by an in-person meeting to understand your priorities. From there, we obtain your financial documents and value the business before any marketing begins.

How is my business marketed confidentially?

We explain the confidential process up front, then create a Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM) and market the company without revealing proprietary information — emailing our existing buyer database, running ads, and screening every prospective buyer for financial qualification and motivation before they see details.

What happens after a qualified buyer is found?

We arrange buyer introductions via conference call and seller site visits, guide both sides through Letters of Intent and Purchase Agreements, manage due diligence, and remove the barriers standing between you and a successful closing — followed by post-closing follow-up.

Is there a cost to get a business valuation?

No — Tangent Brokerage offers a free, no-obligation Broker's Opinion of what your business is worth.
