As fiduciaries, we observe these 6 fundamental duties to our clients:

 1. OBEDIENCE: We follow the legal directions of our principals who are always in charge.

 

 2. LOYALTY: We put our clients' interests above all others.

 

 3. DISCLOSURE: We make a complete disclosure of material facts that could affect decisions regarding a sale transaction.

 

 4. CONFIDENTIALITY: Unless we have authorization, we do not disclose to third parties any confidential information that will hurt our clients' bargaining position.

 

 5. ACCOUNTABILITY: Money received in our agency relationship is received on behalf of our clients, not on our behalf. We never commingle client funds and broker funds.

 

 6. REASONABLE CARE: In the exercise of our duties, we always work in the best interest of our clients.

Advisory Councils / Personal Coaching 

It's true that no business is perfect! And it's not unusual to find that some businesses are not in the best position to maximize the price for the seller. In those situations, it may be advisable to set up a pre-sale council of advisors to guide the owner through improvements designed to raise the overall value and attractiveness of the business to the market.

 

Grandworth professionals are adept at organizing and facilitating such advisory groups that may consist of a CPA, an attorney, a money manager, a lender, an HR specialist, an industry expert, and other professionals who can lend their expertise to the seller.

How About Real Estate?

Nearly every business sale involves real estate. Sometimes it includes real estate being sold along with the business, other times it involves the transfer of a lease.  In any case, we, as licensed real estate agents, are able to assist our clients with this issue.

How About Franchise Transfers?

We have experience in the sale and transfer of existing franchises to new owners. It's essential that sellers and buyers know and understand the franchiser's transfer requirements.
