Selling a business in South King County requires a broker who understands the high-volume valuation drivers of the Kent Valley and South Sound markets. While IBA has been the Pacific Northwest’s premier brokerage firm since 1975, our Federal Way office specializes in the local nuances of the 253 area code. From the logistics and distribution hubs of Auburn to the specialized medical and professional services of The Commons, we provide deep local expertise across the entire South Puget Sound region.
IBA has Successfully Sold Over 4400 Businesses in the Pacific Northwest since 1975
Confidentiality
The information that an entrepreneur is considering the sale of their privately held company or family owned business will always be held in strict confidence by IBA when evaluating a potential representation project. We consider it a privilege to be brought into your confidence and promise not to betray that trust regardless of whether you select us for representation or not.
Performance Based Fees
IBA is unique in the mergers & acquisitions community in our employment of a 100% paid on performance business model. Our objective is to be paid simultaneously with the payment from the buyer to our satisfied client upon completion of a sale.
Knowledge & Experience
IBA has completed transactions in almost every community in the Pacific Northwest and many others throughout the United States. We have merged businesses into publicly traded companies and sold neighborhood restaurants. All of this occurred in our storied history, however the benefit of this activity doesn’t occur in the past, but in the future in the form of the information and knowledge that we can pass onto our present clients.
Comprehensive Marketing
Marketing a business for sale is a difficult task requiring skill, knowledge, and experience because a desire to announce the acquisition opportunity to potential buyers is governed by a need to keep the information confidential from employees, customers, competitors, & vendors. IBA has a comprehensive marketing program for its clients that addresses these conflicting needs.
Negotiations
When you hire an IBA professional you are hiring an ethical, experienced negotiator who has the knowledge base, problem solving ability, and communication skills required to complete a complicated business sale transaction on terms that achieve your goals. If agreement can be reached between a willing buyer and seller, we will reach it. Our 100% commission based compensation model banks on that performance and our past customers attest to it.
Deal Facilitation
Successfully getting parties to “YES” on a Letter of Intent is a significant transactional achievement. It is not a completed transaction. A knowledgeable, experienced, highly skilled guide is needed at this point to navigate due diligence, legal documentation, equipment/real estate inspections, financing, and spectrum of other loose ends that need to be addressed prior to the transfer of ownership. 80 – 90% of IBA transactions annually where agreement is reached on a LOI close.
