Reasons to Sell Your Business

We seek out motivated business owners, then help them identify their long-term goals and the interim steps needed to achieve these goals.

Our services range from exit planning, which involves creating and implementing a plan with a specific and distinctive goal, to the actual sale of a business. We can pull together a customized team of transaction affiliates to develop business solutions for each of our clients.
When the goal of exit planning is to prepare the business for sale, Rua Associates specializes in traditional seller representation services.

The  team at Rua Associates is focused on helping buyers turn their letters of intent into closed sales by facilitating the the financing details of all business transactions:
  • Many merger and acquisition firms claim to be successful because of their large pool of buyers. We agree that buyers are important, but it is our experience that it does not matter how many buyers you have--financing is the key to any successful transaction, especially given the current state of our economy.
  • We focus on networking with many different banking institutions throughout the state of Michigan. 
  • We keep abreast of government-sponsored small business support, and link our buyers to the resources that can help them finalize a transaction.
  • We continuously study lending practices and financing programs to assist our clients, and this has been a key to our company's success.
FSBO or For-Sale-by-Owner is a unique service developed by our team. We implement the same techniques used by our own associates for finding qualified buyers, but allow the business owners themselves to follow up on leads.
