BUSINESSES WANTED As a business broker specialising in the sale of businesses in the manufacturing, distribution and services sectors, ANDERSON COOPER has established a number of relationships with high net worth individuals and corporates who are seeking businesses for acquisition which fit a particular profile – some of these are featured on the following list. If you are a SELLER with a business which fits any of the profiles below we would be delighted to hear from you. Normally speaking, we would still recommend that you pursue a sale through our standard process, exposing your business to a wider market, as this is the best way of establishing the true market value of any business. However, there are sometimes reasons why sellers do not wish to do this, perhaps because of extreme confidentiality concerns or for a speedier deal. At ANDERSON COOPER we pride ourselves on our ability to tailor-make our services to the client’s needs so even if the profiles below do not match your business, please Contact Us for a no-commitment discussion on how we might be able to help you. If you are a committed BUYER and you would like us to advertise your search requirements here, please Register as a Buyer. There is no charge for this service, which is at our discretion.
