What We Do:

Cole Acquisition Partners, Inc. works with privately held companies wishing to obtain maximum value for their business operations through merger or acquisition. Our focus is in Western Colorado and Northwest New Mexico offering investors and corporations the opportunity to acquire profitable businesses in growing, desirable, communities. Confidentiality is maintained throughout all processes.

Valuations:
How many times have you heard a so-called expert tell you the value of a business is a multiple or percentage of this or that? This so called valuation is nothing more than a rule of thumb (a principle with broad application that is not intended to be accurate or reliable) probably obtained from hearsay and you should never fall into this trap!

Valuing a business takes skill, experience, independence and of course, certification!!!

Most entrepreneurs, lenders, attorneys and financial professionals dont know what the value of a business really is. And unfortunately, some arrive at the value by using tax returns, depreciation schedules or financial statements prepared for tax purposes as the only financial presentation of the business. But you should know, book value is not the same as fair market value and you need an expert whose training and experience provides the ability to derive a value that is both reasonable and supportable. Business professionals need a value that will hold up to scrutiny with lenders, buyers, IRS, courts and others. With our Valuations you can rely on a substantiated and defensible value of your business that will hold up to scrutiny.


Buyer Profiles:
We assist buyers and investors in developing a profile of target acquisitions. This includes industry, locations, price and terms. Our national affiliations such as Bizbuysell, Brokers Network Group, International Business Brokers Association, Institute of Certified Business Counselors and others allow us to serve the Entrepenuer on a national basis. We provide analysis of the Investors financial and technical ability and match it with our database of available companies.

Marketing Packages:
Detailed, professional, marketing packages are developed in cooperation with business owners to accurately depict historical financial summaries, industry trends, local economies and most important, discretionary cash flows. The professional packaging of your business data is critical to a successful offering.

Buyer Screening:
Buyers who demonstrate interest in your business are screened for financial and technical sufficiency before sensitive information is presented. We insist all buyers and investors agree (in writing) to protect the confidential aspects of your business.

Financing Solutions:
We work with SBA Lenders and Commercial Banks to offer as many financial solutions as possible to help both buyers and sellers reach their objectives. Contact us today for more information.

Negotiations:
In todays business climate, direct negotiation between buyers and sellers is awkward at best. Our Intermediary Service reduces the tensions and allows for a reasonable approach to the transaction. It is critical that a positive relationship remain for both parties to ensure a smooth transition.
