My job is to help business owners get their company ready for sale, find a buyer and bring the parties to closing. Sounds simple? Well it really is if you follow my advice; I’ll show you how to do it.It all starts with planning for the sale, knowing the right questions to ask and studying what buyers are looking for in today’s market. I’ll help you prepare a marketing package on the business that’s tailor-made to the acquisition interests of the buyers we target. That’s the fun part because if I do my job right, your business will look so good; you won’t want to sell it. Of course, you’ll need to know what other companies like yours are selling for and what your pay day might be. I’ve valued hundreds of businesses and have a good feel for the market, that’s why my pricing recommendations usually fall within 90% to 110% of actual closing values. Pricing a business for sale is a formal process that includes research, generally accepted valuation procedures and street experience. A business valuation is an integral part of getting the company ready for sale.I’m frequently invited to talk about selling a company with business owners who are thinking of exiting in two or three years. That’s smart because it gives the owner time to make adjustments that could result in a higher selling price. For these astute business people, I offer a proprietary 5-step business development & transition plan made exclusively for small businesses. It’s perfect for the owner looking to maximize the value of the company when they sell. If you are thinking of selling now, or sometime in the future I warmly invite you to call me at 714.282.7146From Concept to ClosingJMR Capital, National Business Appraisal and National Equipment Appraisal’s combined talents can handle the entire business sale from concept to closing. We are one of only a few companies that are certified in all three disciplines - Business Valuation, Machinery & Equipment Appraisal and Business Broker Services.

In addition to my activities as a business broker, I oversee the activities of National Business Appraisal. Our typical client is a business owner looking to buy or sell a business.National Business Appraisal has specialized local transaction experience in Southern California. I am the company's founder and chief valuator and have been helping business owners buy, sell and value companies for more than 30 years. I have an extensive following of companies, high wealth individuals and private equity firms looking to acquire businesses with sales from $1,000,000 to $50 million. Because I'm an active business broker, I have an intimate knowledge of which companies have sold, what buyers are willing to pay, which industries are in favor and which are not. This means I do not have to rely on hypothetical values derived from complicated financial models or outdated price multiples. That's why my recommendations are highly accurate and you can rely on my opinion to reflect a company's true market value under current market conditions.It makes good sense to know what the market is paying and who is making offers. I’m a strong advocate of market intelligence because knowing the market and timing a sale can have a huge impact on a company’s valuation. In most cases this type of information is unavailable to business owners and their advisors; that’s why if you are thinking of selling a business and want to know its true value, we should talk. The Bottom Line:You want results based on experience. Would you rely on the advice of someone who is not in the business of buying and selling companies every day?

I started National Equipment Appraisal in 2004 because several of the buyers I work with want to know the true fair market value of the assets they were acquiring. The company perfectly complements my business brokerage activities because buyers who are informed can make better decisions. By having a certified machinery and equipment appraisal buyers can count on realistic values when they go to the bank for a loan. No surprises – and that’s good because it results in faster, more efficient closings.National Equipment Appraisal provides professional machinery and equipment appraisal services for business owners, banks, CPA’s, and attorneys. All of our certified appraisers are involved in the buying and selling of used equipment. This involvement in the M&E marketplace gives us a first-hand understanding of the dynamic economic industry changes that influence machinery values.National Equipment Appraisal, its appraisers and their work product comply with IRS definitions for "qualified appraisers and qualified appraisals" as outlined in the pension protection act of 2006. Certified Machinery and Equipment appraisals are prepared to the rules and standards of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). I am personally involved with every appraisal from start to finish. One thing I’m particularly proud of is the company’s on-time percentage.
