Buying a business
Buying a business can be a tedious process. That’s why we’re here to help you through it.

- Handling non-disclosure agreements so you can see the complete financials of the business
- Determining the extent of training you will receive from the Seller concerning the details of running their business
- Handling negotiations with the Seller to determine if they will provide any financing
Selling a business
Hallmark Business Brokers are experts in business valuation. We help business owners drive up the profit of an existing business to make it more desirable when it's time to sell.
