Chicagoland Sunbelt, the dominant business brokerage firm in Chicago, announced today that Kathy Beimfohr has joined the company as a Broker. In that capacity, Ms. Beimfohr will be responsible for helping business owners develop exit strategies, confidentially market those businesses, manage the negotiation process, and coordinate the closing and post-transition complexities.

“I am pleased to have such an accomplished and seasoned business broker join our team”, stated Domenic Rinaldi – managing partner of Chicagoland Sunbelt. “Kathy has been a successful business broker for the past several years helping people buy and sell business in the Chicago market. In addition, Kathy bought and sold her own businesses and understands the intricacies of small business acquisition.”

According to an article by Trend Tracker, “Statistically, on any given day, 1.7 Million small businesses are for sale in the United States”. The article further cites that, “The trend of purchasing existing small businesses will be driven in part by older workers who have left corporate America. Fortified by stock options, retirement buyouts, and severance packages, many will prefer to keep working as their own boss”.

Chicagoland Sunbelt recommends that potential buyers and sellers become educated on the realities of small business acquisitions. Buyers should be certain to locate transaction-oriented advisors, meet with potential sources of financing, research the local market, utilize a professional business broker and choose a business for the work first and the financials second. Sellers should hire a professional business broker, obtain a third-party valuation, confidentially market the business and identify transaction-oriented accountants and attorneys
Chicagoland Sunbelt is a Business Brokerage firm that focuses solely on helping people buy and sell businesses. To learn more about Chicagoland Sunbelt you can visit their website at www.chicagolandsunbelt.com.
