What is my business worth?

Business valuation depends on financial performance, market conditions, industry multiples, and growth potential. Our valuation process benchmarks your business against current market data to establish a defensible price range. We specialize in businesses valued between $1M and $50M with annual revenues of $2M-$50M.

How do you protect confidentiality during a business sale?

We use controlled data systems, require NDAs before sharing information, vet all buyers for financial qualification, and maintain anonymity until you approve disclosure. Confidentiality is the most important ingredient in the successful sale of your business.

Lion Business Brokers Successfully Facilitated the Acquisition of a High End Liquor Store

AUSTIN, Texas, April 26, 2022 (Newswire) – Lion Business Brokers successfully facilitated the transaction of the acquisition of a high end liquor store in Houston Texas.

An independent buyer approached Lion Business Brokers to assist in the due diligence of purchasing a liquor store in North Houston. After diving into the statements made by the listing broker and financials provided by the owner and broker our senior team was able to find several misrepresentations and false statements made by both the buyer and listing broker. After careful consideration our buyer decided not to move forward with the transactions due to the misrepresentation of the business.

After regrouping with the buyer and our strategic consulting team we were able to find a new upscale liquor store in North Houston with better numbers and better return on investment. Our senior M&A Advisor Van Moody was able to successfully negotiate the acquisition and close the transaction in less than 90 days.

“I am thankful that we were able to save our client from making a bad investment and then turn around and successfully help them find and acquire a business that will provide them with exceptional profits well into the future” said Van Moody, Sr. M&A Advisor with Lion Business Brokers.
