Warren Merrill
Business Broker
As a dedicated and experienced Business Broker, I take pride in helping small business buyers and sellers navigate the complexities of business transactions with ease and confidence. My goal is to ensure every step of the process is transparent, efficient, and ultimately beneficial for all parties involved. I believe that success in business brokerage is not just about closing deals but about fostering long-lasting partnerships and trust.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of representing a diverse portfolio of businesses, including service-oriented companies, manufacturing firms, retail establishments, and medical sales enterprises. These businesses ranged in value from $50,000 to over $3,000,000. No matter the size or industry, I specialize in bringing buyers and sellers together, serving as the bridge that connects them with the tools, resources, and guidance they need for a successful transaction.
My role extends beyond simple matchmaking. I manage every intricate detail of the process, from drafting and negotiating Asset Purchase Agreements (APAs) to facilitating Small Business Administration (SBA) lending. I also coordinate with closing attorneys, ensuring all legal and procedural requirements are met. With a focus on precision and professionalism, I handle the fine details so you can focus on the bigger picture.
In addition to facilitating business sales, I offer comprehensive exit planning services tailored to meet your unique needs. Planning your business exit well in advance is crucial to securing the highest possible value for your company. My approach involves an in-depth analysis of key areas such as accounting practices, marketing strategies, and sales processes. Together, we’ll develop a roadmap to enhance your business’s marketability, attract the right buyers, and maximize your return when it’s time to sell.
An effective exit strategy isn’t just about timing; it’s about preparation. Whether you’re years away from selling or actively seeking buyers, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. My goal is to help you achieve not just a successful transaction, but also peace of mind knowing that your business legacy is in good hands.
