Owner and Business Intermediary

We are one of the largest and most successful firms specializing in Selling Businesses, Franchises, Business Valuations, Machinery and Equipment Appraisals, Mergers and Acquisitions and Commercial Real Estate in North America.

Do you own a business? Or would you like to own your own business? I may be able to help! As a Murphy Business and Financial Business Intermediary, I specialize in helping people buy and sell small businesses and middle-market companies. For the Seller – I provide confidential services that help you plan and execute a successful exit strategy, determine the valuation of your company, advertise to and screen potential buyers. I will help negotiate the purchase offer, oversee the due diligence activities, and coordinate the closing. By providing such services, I enable the existing business owner to continue to focus on his operations so as to keep the business strong and attractive. For the Buyer – I offer Buy-Side advisory, helping individuals and companies find the business or franchise that fits their strategic, lifestyle and financial objectives. I help refine purchase criteria, develop and execute a search plan, negotiate a purchase price, prepare a purchase offer, structure and negotiate the deal, oversee due diligence, help arrange appropriate financing (including SBA consideration), and coordinate the closing. For the Lender – I bring potential buyers that seek financing for arranged deals, as well as qualified sellers that allow you to pre-qualify packages. We are able to provide extensive business valuations and financial modeling that will meet your needs. For the Veteran – Veterans may qualify for discounts with select franchisors and financial companies. For CPA and Legal firms – we can provide a variety of levels of market valuation services based on your client’s need: strategic planning, preparation for the sale of a business, transition of a company from C Corp to S Corp, gifting, estate planning and income tax issues, ESOP transactions, stock sales and acquisitions, divorce and litigation, SBA lending, as well as machinery and equipment appraisals (Murphy has one of only 31 Master Certified Machinery & Equipment Appraisers in the country).
