VR Business Sales Mergers and Acquisitions

VR Business Brokers has been the industry leader for over twenty years and has the distinction of having sold more businesses in North America than anyone else. It has set the highest quality standards in the industry, provides the most extensive training program for its Intermediaries, maintains the largest national database of sold businesses to assist in business valuations, and has been rated the number one Business Brokerage in the world for 16 of the last 20 years. VR Business Brokers was founded in 1979 to fill the void for quality service that existed between the Real Estate Industry and Investment Banking Representation to buyers and sellers of main street, upper main street and middle market businesses that had remained under serviced. Four years later, the original principals of the company along with a group of VR franchisees created the International Business Brokers Association (I.B.B.A), to help standardize practices, generate a forum for new ideas, and provide a methodology for continuing education. VR has always been light years ahead of its industry, and continues to pave the path that others continue to follow. VR's continual drive to improve and achieve has led to the creation of several divisions designed to meet the rapidly changing needs of its business clients around the world. The past few years has seen the highly successful deployment of VR Mergers & Acquisitions. VR's components of its success are the strength, professionalism and commitment of VR's Network of Intermediaries working diligently with every client, not as business brokers merely trying to make a sale, but rather as advocates providing a comprehensive consultative approach to each and every business transaction. You will find that VR provides you with exactly the same level of service and professional resources that a large institutional client receives from the finest investment bank. VR continues to be the leading force within the industry as it moves into the future, always developing new and innovative practices for buying and selling businesses, protecting client interests and refining the level of services every small and mid size business owner should expect to receive.

VR's dynamic and intuitive business leader, Mr. King began his career on Bay Street in Toronto with one of Canada's oldest Merger's and Acquisitions firms. Upon relocating in 1989 to the United States, King was an instrumental part of Canada's largest real estate company's American development plans. His responsibilities included all legal and franchise arena's through which his franchising intrigue arose. From 1994 until his acquisition of VR in 1999, Mr. King returned to his roots and joined one of America's largest investment banks on Wall St. servicing large institutional clients.In 1999, King saw an opportunity that would bring the professionalism and service of investment banking to the small and mid-size business owner, and thus acquired VR Business Brokers. After relocating the Corporate Offices to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the new vision for VR started to unfold. Today King and his partner and President, JoAnn Lombardi, lead VR as the only full-time network of Professional Business Intermediaries in the world.King believes that with strategic alliances with organizations servicing other needs to the small and mid-size business markets, allows VR to differentiate itself now and into the future.
