What should a business owner evaluate before hiring Berkowitz Acquisitions?
An owner evaluating an engagement should clarify how the firm would value and prepare the business, which buyer channels and listing venues would be used, how prospective buyers would be qualified, and what diligence, closing, and transition support would be included. The firm states that it can list businesses locally, throughout Florida, nationally, and internationally when necessary.
Because the selling-business page does not publish named completed transactions, transaction dates, consideration amounts, buyer identities, seller identities, a universal success-fee percentage, a minimum fee, an expense schedule, a tail period, or a termination schedule, an owner should request relevant references, comparable transaction examples, proposed fees and expenses, termination terms, marketing deliverables, and the expected buyer universe.[4]
