Your business means a great deal more to you then a way to accumulate wealth. To build it, you invested a tremendous amount of your time, energy, and resources. It probably seems like an extension of yourself. Now you are being asked to consider giving a part or all of it to an investor. How do you know whether this overture is just another one of the myriad of solicitations that you receive from "business brokers" who have the "perfect buyer for your business" or truly the best alternative for helping you achieve your company's maximum market and valuation potential? The Bigelow Company has successfully advised hundreds of Owner-Managers like you who have received an unsolicited overture.
