Review of Investor’s Requirements |

SunbeltNE reviews your profile and acquisition parameters while
our immigration lawyer assesses visa issues. You sign the confidentiality agreement

In-house and Nationwide Research |
|
|
|
SunbeltNE utilizes its extensive proprietary information sources
to identify appropriate acquisition candidates. The search includes Sunbelt’s own
registered business seller pool as well as a targeted search to find potential sellers
meeting your requirements.
|
Search Results Submitted to Investor |
|
|
|
Based on the search results, SunbeltNE submits all the appropriate
sellers’ details to you. You will then review the most appropriate business to buy
and instruct us to approach the owner.

SunbeltNE Secures Seller’s Consent to Proceed |
|
|
|
SunbeltNE secures the consent of potential acquisition candidates
and develops a Confidential Business Review (CBR) on each of them. The CBR will
contain sufficient information for you to use as a base to make an offer.
SunbeltNE's experience in thousands of transactions with a
wide range of clients gives us a unique ability in structuring win-win deals. SunbeltNE
takes into account all of the elements of the financial transaction, including:
stock sale versus asset sale, initial investment, terms and interest rate on notes,
liabilities assumed by the acquirer, transfer and negotiation of leases, employment
contracts, consulting agreements, non-compete agreements, current assets retained
by the seller, potential earn-outs, continuation of fringe benefits, stock ownership
retention and other pertinent details. The total financial package negotiated on
your behalf is the true measure of our value-added service.

Due Diligence on the Profile Selected by Investors |
|
|
|
The investor usually relies on financial and operational representations
made during the sale process to determine the value and viability of a business.
If these representations are not adequately and clearly substantiated during due
diligence, the transaction could be jeopardized. Our experience and involvement
in countless due diligence projects enables us to anticipate the information you
will be analyzing. Our advanced preparation maximizes the probability that the process
will be short and successful.
|
Purchase Agreement Negotiations and Closing |
|
|
|
For closing a successful deal, numerous agreements must be
negotiated and the efforts of multiple parties must be coordinated. SunbeltNE works
with your legal and accounting team to orchestrate a Definitive Purchase Agreement
that reflects all details of the transaction. SunbeltNE Advisors play a key role
in ensuring that this process is properly managed to avoid jeopardizing the transaction.
In most instances our involvement in this stage saves you thousands of dollars in
potentially excessive professional fees.
At this point you will be assured that you have realized your
goal. In the transition period, the seller will assist you in the transfer of key
relationships and proprietary information of the business. This will help you make
a seamless transition into the business.
