Business Valuation

Opinion of Value 

Most business owners do not know the true value of their business. Let our intermediaries at Alliant use both tools and expertise to help you realize the maximum market value for your business.

Confidentiality

Why is confidentiality important in the sale of a business?

When a business owner decides to sell a business, confidentiality is a priority. At Alliant, we believe that it is imperative for employees, customers, vendors and lendors to remain unaware of the sale until it’s completed. This protects the value of the business for both the seller and any potential buyers. Otherwise, businesses run the risk of losing customers, employees and vendors unnecessarily.

Marketing

Confidential Marketing Package 

At Alliant, our process includes a Confidential Marketing Package for your company. We then use a combination of print media, trade publications, internet marketing, direct mail marketing and telemarketing to reach a broad base of buyers.
