Get StartedOur Unique Approach
Deciding to sell your business is a significant milestone. As NFL Hall of Fame Coach Marv Levy once said, “Once a player thinks about retiring, he has already retired.” The same applies to business owners—once you’re considering selling, you’re emotionally ready to move forward. Our role is to protect your interests and manage the entire sales process while you focus on running your business.

Learn MoreMaintaining Confidentiality
Confidentiality is critical when selling your business. Any hint of a sale could impact employees, customers, or the business’s value. Here’s what you should avoid:
- Telling anyone you’re planning to sell
- Changing business models or daily operations
We ensure your business continues to operate as usual while we discreetly market it to qualified buyers.
How We Find Buyers
Unlike traditional brokers who wait for buyers, we actively pursue them through:
- Our 200+ local and national broker and buyer network
- Confidential online and local advertising
- Targeted cold-call campaigns to local business owners
- Strategic networking and increased online presence
All marketing costs are covered by BridgePoint Business Group, with no upfront fees to you.
Getting Started: Business Valuation
To provide an accurate market valuation, we need:
- 3 years of tax returns and P&L statements
- Current market value of equipment
- Inventory value at cost (not retail)
If you can’t provide tax returns or P&L statements, we offer alternative valuation services. Our valuations align with lender standards, ensuring a realistic and marketable price.
