About Sunbelt Atlantic

We have expertise in valuation principles, financial statement analysis, taxation implications, inventory, goodwill, and so on, and know how to optimize the value of your business.

We Maximize Value

We respect your need for confidentiality and have protocols in place for advertising, disclosing information, and managing potential buyers in order to protect the seller and their business.

We Assure Confidentiality

We focus on finding the right business for the buyer, and buyer for the business. A buyer that has the necessary experience, skills, ethics, financial resources, risk tolerance and passion is more likely to lead both parties to a successful outcome.

We Minimize Risk

Our office has access to a database of active buyers – owner-operators, financial buyers, and strategic acquirers – looking to acquire businesses.

We have pre-qualified buyers

Our brokers follow a proven process that protects both buyers and sellers, and with doing so have sold more privately-owned businesses than any other intermediary.

As a part of the largest business brokerage network in the world, we will guide you through the business sale process.
