Northeast Business Partners

Northeast Business Partners is a Marblehead business brokerage representing both sellers and buyers of companies in the main street and lower middle market. It typically advises owners of privately held businesses with annual revenues between about $250,000 and $10 million, across a broad range of industries and professions. Its marketing approach aims to build a compelling story around each company while protecting the confidentiality of the sale.

Selling a company can be complicated and stressful, and the firm guides owners from offering through closing, including mergers and acquisitions with potential partners. Its work includes preparing a Confidential Business Report describing the business, structuring a controlled competitive process to draw multiple offers, and marketing the company discreetly to qualified buyers inside and outside its industry. The firm also publishes tutorials, Q&A and articles on asking price, goodwill and what buyers want.
