Answers to Common Questions

During a no-charge, no-obligation introductory consultation, we’ll talk with you to learn more about your business and its unique attributes. We’ll tell you about what we do, how we do it, what it costs (no upfront cost—the fee is paid at closing), and what you can expect in the process. Of course, everything we discuss is completely confidential.  Afterward, we’ll perform a complimentary valuation, showing the range of values for your business. We will also do a pre-screening with a lender to ensure it meets current lending guidelines.

• Strict confidentiality is maintained throughout the process
• No cost to you until we sell at your price
• A database of over 22,500 pre-screened buyers that we have amassed through our many years of selling businesses
• Confidential marketing on over 150 websites
• Our owners have 90+ years of business ownership experience in manufacturing, distribution, service, and retail
• We have great banking relationships, which allow us to achieve successful closings

Often, business brokerage firms charge upfront “marketing” or “packaging” fees. We do not charge any fees until your company is sold at a price and on terms that are totally satisfactory to you. Thus, our interests are aligned with yours, meaning we do not get paid until you get paid. It is also in our best interest to sell your business for the highest price possible. We are performance-based from start to finish!

At We Sell Liquor Stores, we take great pride in our ability to keep all information confidential. Any serious buyer is required to sign a confidentiality agreement to protect the seller’s interest. In addition, the buyer will be required to reveal to us his net worth and provide us with “proof of funds” and/or a “pre-approval letter” from a financial lender to ascertain his or her financial ability to purchase your company. The first contact We Sell Liquor Stores makes with the potential buyer for your business is through a “blind” or anonymous profile of your company. Your location is described in general terms, as are the details of your company. Your company name or address is never identified in the blind profile or ever in any email or written communication.

YES. We have connections in the banking community that run deeply. We want to control the financing piece of the transaction so we can achieve a closing that is quick and easy. We coordinate due diligence and closing with the seller, the buyer, and all attorneys and accountants involved, including the lending bank or institution.

Regardless of the type of business you have—whether it be a liquor store, C-store, hotel, manufacturer, distributor, service business, or retailer—we have probably sold one similar to it. Client references are available upon request. Our team has over 90 years of experience in selling, buying, owning, and operating businesses, with varied backgrounds in liquor stores, C-stores, wholesale, manufacturing, distribution, service, and retailing.

Selling a business, especially for the first time, can be stressful and difficult to navigate. We have tremendous experience, and we take care of the marketing, paperwork, and buyer screening for you. We do this always, with confidentiality as our #1 priority. By engaging us to sell your business, you are also providing yourself with leverage, as we typically are working with a large pool of buyers to create and produce competition in order to obtain the best possible price for you.

Another benefit to utilizing our service is that we have an existing pool of over 22,500 qualified buyers who are actively looking to buy businesses and whom we communicate with on a weekly basis.  For this reason, it is not uncommon for us to receive significant interest and in some cases, offers within a very short time of listing your business for sale.
