ABOUT SEQUOIA BUSINESS BROKERS
Sequoia Business Brokers sells privately owned companies that have an enterprise value up to $20 million.
We sell good companies to others wanting to make them great.
We do not discriminate on size. We sell going concerns for fair market value. If a business has a defendable value proposition, a sustainable business model, opportunity for growth, and predominantly commercial goodwill regardless of its size, we add significant value to the sale of the business.
Professionalism is our creed. Transparency is our conscience. Confidentiality is everything.
Our employers own the companies we sell. Our customers buy them. Satisfying the needs of each maximizes value for both.
Sequoia strives for two stellar references at the closing of each transaction.
We deliver.
Why Sequoia Business Brokers?
We’re success driven not progress-fee driven.
Sequoia’s business model is built on getting the best deal for your business (price and terms) in the shortest time. If we can’t add value to the sale of your business we won’t take the engagement. We represent select opportunities we are confident we can close which is when we earn our keep. That minimizes your fee risk in the engagement until the sale completes and aligns your objectives with the Principals responsible for selling your company. We’re not M&A Advisors, we’re M&A Doers.
We’re a Principals-only firm.
All the work to sell your company is done by owners of the firm. We don’t subcontract or delegate the work. We have the expertise to create, manage, and execute each aspect of the successful sale of your business. In sales, Rule #1 is know thy product. The product we sell, your company, is an ever-changing entity. Personally keeping on top of the moving parts gives us an edge in selling the benefits of your company to the right buyer. What’s more, limiting access of your company details to Principals-only maximizes the confidentiality of its pending sale. Our clients value the direct contact and personal service they receive straight from the Principals on their team.
We’re seasoned sales professionals.
With personal capital and sweat equity we have started, grown, and sold several of our own small to medium sized companies. The hallmark of our prior business ownership success was leading the sale of multi-million dollar enterprise deals with long sales cycles in changing environments with multiple influencers throughout the process. That experience translates directly to the sale of your business. Our sales skills are paramount when qualifying buyer intent, motivation, and capacity to consummate the purchase of your company on terms negotiated to your benefit.
We’re proud of matching the right buyer to the business.
When you sell your company, you have a vested interest in its continued growth and success since you will likely hold a vendor note or perhaps be landlord to the new owner of your former company. That’s not to mention that you’d rather sell to a responsible steward of your legacy and your employees. We take the same intrinsic pride in seeing your company prosper post closing.
We're licensed.

We take care of the details eliminating the converse.
We believe that hard work, common sense, integrity + compassion = killer service.
We are curious motivated entrepreneurs.
We count ourselves fortunate to love what we do.
