We at The Burbank Group offer a solution to this problem.
Most people take a reactive approach to finding a business to buy.
One serious limitation to this reactive approach is that often a purchase is made because it could, not because it should. Acquisitions should occur as part of a strategic plan, not just because a particular business can be acquired. We prefer to take a proactive approach and only acquire businesses according to a strategic plan . Using this process we deal primarily with business owners whose companies are not listed for sale with Business Brokers and Intermediaries etc. That someone may as well be you.
