Murphy Business & Financial Services
Business Consulting
One of the best things about owning and operating your own business is that you get to make ALL the FINAL decisions. One of the worst things about owning and operating a business is that YOU have to make ALL the FINAL decisions.
Within this paradigm you need to know when to obtain useful, robust and relevant advice and assistance. If this situation applies to you now, let me help you with my 27 + years of small business ownership and management experience. This may include creating either a business plan for a loan or the next few years of your business. It may also include advice on how to get finance for your venture or helping you with a strategy to approach a competitor to buy out their business or sell your business to them. If you need help with your business, my first task will be to understand the help you need and whether the skills and approach we bring together are the right fit for you.
Business Valuations
It may not be time to sell or you may just be curious about what your business is worth. However, there are also other reasons why a business owner might require a business valuation: personal matters such as marital or partnership issues, estate planning or other reasons may require an actual valuation of the business that can be defended if litigation is a possibility. We have the knowledge and experience to advise in these matters and prepare the valuation if needed.
Services for Buying a Business
Small business ownership can be one of the most rewarding and self-satisfying experiences in life. You’ll live the American Dream of being your own boss and controling your financial destiny.
For prospective buyers, Murphy Business & Financial offers an array of businesses for sale – the largest in Northern California and Nevada. We assist with the entire acquisition process, from selecting the right business opportunity to financing. Buyers pay no fees for Murphy Business & Financial’s professional services.
Services for Selling a Business
Selling a business is a complex and demanding task and may be one of the most important decisions of your life. Establishing a proper price, marketing the business for sale, negotiating leases and financing are just a few areas of expertise that we offer. Also, most accounting is done to minimize tax obligations and may therefore not portray the company in the best light. Murphy Business & Financial deals with challenges like these every day.
We screen all buyers to determine their financial qualification and work background. Because we work with each potential buyer in finding the right business, the prospects we bring you will be genuinely interested in your business as well as financially capable. Most people who call about a particular business listing end up buying a different business. While this can be frustrating if you tryto sell your business alone, it is a big plus when working with us. Because we sell and list so many businesses in Northern California, we receive dozens of inquiries from prospective buyers each day.
Franchises
If you want to be in business FOR yourself, but not BY yourself, let us show you why a Franchise may be your best investment. We will provide you general information on franchises that we feel are excellent opportunities. Additionally, Murphy Business & Financial only works with reputable franchisors who we know will follow through in providing all of the necessary information to help you evaluate their particular business opportunity.
Equipment Appraisals
Often overlooked by owners, business brokers, and bankers are the hard assets of a business. More than once businesses have been sold for significantly less than the market value of the equipment. Unlike other business brokers, Murphy Business & Financial has certified equipment appraisers on staff that are trained to provide you with asset valuations, and to help you sell equipment should the need arise.
