ELITE Business Brokers are seasoned professionals who know how to get the job done and get it done right. We are the most experienced brokerage in the Mid-South boasting nearly 30 years in the business. Our brokers have backgrounds that help make them outstanding brokers. This includes backgrounds in executive management for billion dollar firms, real estate brokering, business consulting, sales and marketing, mergers and acquisitions as well as CPA’s and business owners. No one else in the Mid-South can offer this and more.

WE PUT YOU FIRST
A recent industry survey indicates that only 50% of brokers are willing to co-broker a transaction because this reduces their commission. However, this also reduces the number of qualified buyers that they are willing to introduce to you. At ELITE, we put you first. We do not limit ourselves to our own buyers. We make it a policy that all ELITE Intermediaries will co-broker transactions to give you the greatest selection of buyers possible.

EXPERIENCE, EXPERIENCE, EXPERIENCE
You receive the complete benefit of our intermediaries who have a combined 115 years of experience in brokering business sales in the local Memphis market! No other independent agent or brokerage office in Memphis even comes close!

CONFIDENTIALITY
ELITE ensures that the entire process of selling your business is performed in the strictest of confidence. ELITE understands you would not want your employees or competitors to be aware that you are selling your business until the time is right. Therefore, meetings are confidential and scheduled in our offices or at your business to suit your needs. Information regarding the sale of your business is only released to potential buyers once they have gone through our prescreening process.

NEGOTIATING EXPERTISE
As ELITE has been the premier brokerage firm in Memphis since 1981, our intermediaries are highly skilled in the art of negotiation. We can help determine the fair selling price as we maintain a listing of all prior sales and can use this as historic data in conjunction with current market conditions for the sale of your business. We are critical in the process of negotiating the deal as this is often where many deals fall apart due to conflicting personalities/egos, allowing emotions to overcome sound judgement or flat out disagreement over the selling price. We also provide advice on how to structure your transaction. Time Savings – Using ELITE Business Brokers offers time savings as well as prevents unnecessary frustration with attempting to sell the business on your own. More often than not, sellers find that trying to sell their business themselves while still trying to answer to the demands of running the business is more difficult in practice than in concept. Additionally, it becomes extremely challenging to sell your own business while keeping it from your employees.

PROCESS & TECHNOLOGY
Our leadership team is made up of both young and seasoned executives who are always looking for the next technological advance to continue to accelerate the speed at which we can match you with quality, pre-screened buyers. ELITE’s proprietary system allows us to notify interested buyers when we list your business. We also make it a policy to follow up with all prospective buyers to ensure we do not miss a sale due to lack of follow through.

PROFESSIONAL VALUATION
ELITE not only has the most experienced intermediaries in the Mid-South, we also have executive CPA’s on staff to make available to you formal business valuations. Committed and Focused Intermediaries – ELITE operates on a fee-based transaction model. – This means we only assess a brokerage fee if we successfully sell your business. In addition, it encourages our intermediaries to work that much harder to get you the results you deserve. Much of our business is repeat or referral business as those who have worked with us, have seen our proven value at work.
