Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of DeKalb businesses attract buyers?
DeKalb combines an agricultural and food-processing base with logistics and distribution along the I-88 corridor, manufacturers, contractors, and the service and retail businesses serving a university town. Each draws a different buyer profile, which is why the marketing approach differs by business.
How does seasonality affect my sale?
Seasonal swings — agricultural cycles, or a university calendar — are not a problem as long as they are documented and explained. What hurts is a buyer discovering the seasonality themselves during diligence. We present a full annual cycle up front so buyers underwrite the real business rather than assuming the worst.
What does the buyer actually receive at closing?
In most transactions the buyer acquires the operating assets — equipment, inventory, customer relationships, contracts, and the business name — while you keep the cash, receivables, and liabilities unless negotiated otherwise. How the deal is structured affects your after-tax proceeds significantly, which is why we involve your CPA early.
