Benefits to Sellers

Murphy Business offers a partnership with experienced professionals when selling a business. We start with preparing a professional valuation of your business to determine its fair market value and ensure that it’s priced appropriately, normally resulting in a faster sale. Additionally, Murphy offers a detailed portfolio above the typical on page MLS form. Going above and beyond to this information gathering and presentation helps Murphy professionals exceed expectations when selling a business.

In addition, Murphy Business brokers can create a customized marketing plan to attract the most suitable qualified buyer. Our local and national connections and associations create a network of thousands of brokers seeking out the correct buyer.

We provide our network of banking professionals to assist the buyer with traditional financing or SBA small business loans. While providing this service we can often minimize the amount of seller financing, if needed. Contact your local Portland (OR) office to sell a business with maximum marketing exposure and minimum selling time. Murphy will be with you from the business valuation to preparing it for sale, then finding and qualifying prospective purchasers, and lastly managing the process to a successful closing.
