We use proven techniques in the marketing and sale of your business.

Our team of professionals bring a thorough knowledge of the proper way to sell or buy a business. Combined with fellow brokers at Calhoun Companies we complete more transactions in this market than any other business broker. Our driving principle has, and continues to be, selling successful businesses to qualified buyers.

In what may be the most important transaction of your life, you need a business broker who is an experienced professional. No Brokerage firm in the state of Minnesota or the entire region is more experienced in the sale of privately owned businesses than Calhoun Companies; and Stan Gibbs, Jeff Krieg and their team have been their Top Producers since 1991!

They provide their clients:

CONFIDENTIALITY - Most business owners don't want their employees, customers, or competitors to know their business is for sale; so our team has developed a process and strict procedures to protect confidentiality. Prospective buyers must complete Confidentiality Agreements and provide an understanding of Financial Capabilities before even the identity of the business is exposed to them.

NATIONAL EXPOSURE - Our team is affiliated with a prominent national business brokerage network: NationList, a Nationwide Network of Independent Intermediaries specializing in business sales, mergers and acquisitions. They advertise on the Internet using their own web site (www.stangibbs.com) and many other web sites to attract Buyers, as well as in the Wall Street Journal, Trade Journals, and other national publications when seen as advantageous to do so.

VALUATION EXPERTISE - Stan Gibbs and Jeff Krieg have personally sold over 300 businesses, so they know the market conditions better than anyone else. They blend sophisticated business valuation techniques with real world experience to provide you with a professional opinion of value before marketing your business.

PROVEN RESULTS - The Stan Gibbs and Jeff Krieg Team are #1 for a reason. Their record speaks for itself.

All consultations are discreet, confidential and without obligation.
