Why use Global Business Transfers?

The advantages are very clear. Our service provides a simple way to manage multiple website advertising listings for your company listed on the market. Rather than filling out a dozen different and unfamiliar applications, with GBT there is only one single form to complete and then we do the rest of the work. Inquiries from buyers or investors on your business will come from one source. This is much more time effective than trying to manage several many platform sites on offer. In our experience most business owners are already flat out running their own businesses and this is one way to affordably outsource the marketing aspect of the sales process.

 

Advantages of using Global Business Transfers:

• Confidential marketing of your business with a blind profile to protect your identify and your business identity

• Market your opportunity to our own database of over 1,700 prospective buyers who are actively looking to buy or invest in small businesses (when our Instant Buyer Add-on Package is selected)

• Non-exclusive (you can still hire any traditional business broker and continue to use our services)

• Stop at any time (an additional $250 administration fee applies only if you later want to reinstate your subscription)

• Global reach with international exposure

• Zero commission when your company is sold

​

How do I know if I should use a traditional business broker versus Global Business Transfers?

In most cases we find that companies with annual revenues of less than $2,000,000 or annual profits of less than $500,000 are better suited to Global Business Transfers’ streamlined marketing packages. This is because many business brokers cannot justify the exposure, time, and resources required only in the hope of earning a relatively small commission. However, you are free to use any traditional business broker you wish alongside GBT services.

​

How does Global Business Transfers help me find buyers?

As a paid subscriber you will be asked to fill out a single information sheet about your company which will then be used to create the listings for the business listing websites we utilize. Rather than dealing with and managing a dozen or more websites Global Business Transfers has consolidated this information and will act as your one source. This streamlined access to ten to fifteen advertising listing website platforms saves you a tremendous amount of time and potentially many months of trial and error to figure out what we've learned from decades of 

​

Depending on factors such as your industry and the size of your business you can expect to qualify for listing on 10 to 15 different websites and advertising mediums where buyers go to source businesses to buy or invest in. All interested buyers/investors will be forwarded directly to you via email.

​

How will I maintain confidentiality that my business is for sale or that I am seeking an equity partner?

We have a lot of experience in advertising businesses while maintaining confidentiality when that is required. Additionally, you will be see the advertisement and marketing materials before they go live or are sent to potential buyers/investors.
