Services Offered
Confidentiality
Are you concerned about customers, vendors or employees learning about the sale of your business? While absolute secrecy cannot be guaranteed, when a Business Team broker arranges a sale, it most often happens that no one knows until the owner makes the announcement. Ask us about how we can tailor the level of confidentiality to meet your particular needs.

Size
Business Team is the largest business brokerage in the western United States. More associates mean access to more potential buyers for your business! More buyers means competition and competing buyers can help ensure you get market value for your business. Collectively, we have personal relationships with thousands of buyers who rely on our expertise and recommendations in making a buying decision.

Internet
Marketing a business for sale on the internet has become a very useful supplement to traditional methods. (Our own site, www.business-team.com accounts for about 30% of our leads.) In addition, there are dozens of other sites which come and go and have greatly varying effectiveness. We make it our business to know which ones work best for your business.

Experience
Over 35 years of matching buyers with businesses gives Business Team a depth of experience unmatched in the industry, experience that will ensure that the sale of your business will be a safe and profitable event.

Results
Business Team has sold over 7,100 businesses - high tech, low tech, manufacturing, service, retail, food & beverage. In fact, in over 40 years we have sold just about every type of business. (References available upon request.)

Getting market value for your business
"A business is likely to sell for market value when all or most of the ready, willing and able (qualified) buyers know it's available." - Ian MacLachlan, President
About

Scott is a serial entrepreneur who has owned a dozen small businesses. He understands what it takes to start and grow a business, including both independent and franchise operations. He has used business brokers to buy and sell a small business and brings this invaluable perspective to sellers embarking on a journey that is often the culmination of a life’s work.

Scott previously pursued dual careers. He retired as a Captain of the U.S. Navy Reserve after 30 years of honorable service. As a helicopter pilot he sailed on ships of the Pacific Fleet and was forward deployed to the Persian Gulf for Operations Desert Shield/Storm. After active duty, Scott commanded five Navy Reserve units and was recalled to active duty for Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. In his civilian career Scott is a self-styled “transportation guy” with experience in all modes of transportation. He built a diverse transportation services company that operated two shortline freight railroads and provided ancillary services in track and bridge repair, locomotive and railcar maintenance, and supply chain logistics. Prior to his rail industry stint, he was head of sales and marketing for two international aviation services companies.

Scott has a Bachelor of Science from Cornell University, a Master of Business Administration from the University of New Mexico and is a certified Project Management Professional (PMP). He applies all the best practices of the Project Management industry in achieving the goals of business owners he represents – getting the best value in the most confidential manner and closing the sale of your business.
