We ascertain the actual business you’re in. McDonald’s had to realize a few important things for it to become the success it has become. First, it had to understand that it wasn’t in the food industry alone. It realized it was in the franchising business and the real estate business. With our expertise, we understand key components like what makes you unique to position your assets in the most favorable way that makes companies and investors view your assets and business differently than you probably have traditionally been viewing it.

Trend is a licensed brokerage that can sell your business, and sometimes we acquire businesses ourselves. When we do act as facilitators to a transaction, we are very flexible with our clients. We look to get you the best deal possible and we are flexible with our arrangement in terms of length of time and commitments to structure the best possible deal.

First, we have to understand the value of the business and consider all assets involved. After presenting an offer, there is usually a little time that lapses for negotiations. Once the buyer and seller agree to terms, a contract is drawn up and signed by both parties. Along with the signed agreement, money is then held in an escrow account. While the money is escrow, the transfer commences. This would include transfer of documents, data, physical assets, trade secrets, etc. Once, the transfer is complete and the buyer is satisfied, the buyer will then confirm it has received all assets from he transaction and release the money from escrow. Often times, the seller stays on to help with a transition period to help the new buyer get acclimated to all the processes. We look to make this an amicable relationship between the buyer and seller, because often they do business again in the future with other assets they own or new businesses they start. Smooth and reliable transactions is what we strive for here at Trend.

Most businesses are good fits for Trend and our list of buyers. We look at various factors to see how much a business is worth prior to fielding offers from our network. We look at revenue, profit, expenses to run and maintain the business. We do look at figures such as EBITDA and upward/downward trends of the business, but we also factor in potential and digital assets that other companies have a hard time valuing. We appreciate digital assets such as social media pages, email lists, proprietary technology, and systems that other firms don’t know how to value or have a tough time selling for the money you deserve. Businesses in the tech space sell for a multiple that many other brokers simply don’t understand. Trend is friendly to business owners, and will get you a great price for your digital assets or physical business.

We do. Please reach out to us at trend@jarbly.com or click the contact us button with what you are looking for and we will be glad to share you our portfolio of businesses where we are looking for a buyer, investor, or partner.
