Business Brokerage

Commercial One Capital Corporation

As one of the largest firms specializing in the valuation, sale and merger of medium sized, privately held business in Central Ohio, we are committed to delivering the highest standard of service while protecting the confidentiality and proprietary interests of our clients.

Until recently, most businesses valued under $10,000,000 were sold by word of mouth in restricted local markets. The result was owners who wanted to sell, but did not know where to start, and buyers who wanted to buy, but were unaware of available business opportunities.

Commercial One has developed a system and network to bridge this gap which actually creates value for both buyers and sellers of medium sized, closely-held businesses. For owners of closely-held businesses, as well as their legal and public accounting counselors, we offer independent advice and input related to valuation, packaging and marketing of their businesses.

For the buyer in search of an opportunity, we have an experienced staff of professionals who are active in the Ohio and mid-west regional marketplace for mid-sized, privately held businesses.

The owners and managers of successful privately held businesses are highly skilled and focused within their business markets, products and services. However, faced with one of the most important financial decisions of their careers, the sale or merger of their business, owners and their professional advisors often find themselves faced with a complex set of challenges. The marketplace, for businesses valued under $10 Million, can be threatening for owners who only get one chance to do it right.

Most owners periodically evaluate the possibility of selling or merging their business and often find that although the decision to sell or merge may be appealing, the process is difficult and fraught with concerns about confidentiality, value and impact upon employees and customers.

Among Questions Owners Often Ask

  • Should we sell to a competitor or an entrepreneurial buyer?
  • How do we present our business to potential buyers in its most favorable light?
  • How do we protect our proprietary interests in the sale or merger process?
  • How can we maximize the value of our business?

These are the concerns and opportunities that our value added services are designed to address.

Capital Corporation - Buyer Services

Our goal in helping you to buy or grow via acquisitions can be stated simply: we furnish you with the same expertise and services that national investment banking firms provide for their "Fortune 500" clients.

Our network of contacts, reputation for professionalism and skills with negotiations will assure that your objectives are met.

Commercial One Capital Corporation offers the following services designed to assist you in the acquisition process:

  • Access to numerous networks which promote available business opportunities including The Ohio Business Brokers Association, International Business Brokers Association, Institute of Business Appraisers, Merger and Acquisition Source and many other clearing houses for information about available business opportunities.
  • Targeted searches based upon your acquisition criteria for size, geography and industry.
  • Identification of synergistic merger/acquisition candidates for strategic alliance growth plans.
  • Representation during the negotiation process.
  • Financing Advice and Packaging.

Rarely does an ongoing, successful business announce that it is "for sale". As a result, buyers who want to buy aren't aware of available opportunities. Commercial One Capital Corporation can assist you in locating the right business for your future.
