Jim Hines, CBI Chairman, Bio

After a quarter century in the merger & acquisition industry I launched Company Connections in 2004 to address the growing concern of business owners weary of the time, money, and unreasonably binding contract conditions traditionally required to sell their company. In the image of the Information Highway, Company Connections was designed as a Merger & Acquisition or M&A Highway. At Company Connections we dispense with unnecessary hurdles and roadblocks and quickly get down to the business of selling your business.   Our innovative quick-to-market program features a non-exclusive listing contract and no up-front fees or retainers.

Company Connections provides its clients with the finest merger & acquisition services from business valuation to closing the sale. As members of the International Business Brokers Association, the M & A Source and other important organizations we remain on the cutting edge of the Merger & Acquisition Industry’s methods and technologies.

Once a business is listed with Company Connections we fast track the marketing. An offering prospectus is completed in days vs. weeks or months.  Matches, or “connections”, with qualified buyers within our extensive database and the worldwide web begin immediately. 

The Company Connections sales contract is a straightforward non-exclusive agreement that allows for maximum seller freedom and flexibility. We typically have several buyer matches identified prior to listing a company for sale. Our extensive buyer database includes both US and foreign buyer prospects. Although some are high net worth individuals, most Company Connections buyer prospects are highly qualified and motivated corporations.

Company Connections expertly sells privately owned Middle Market businesses and business assets. The Middle Market consists of those businesses with annual sales between $2 and $75 million. Although we welcome buyer inquires and support their due diligence activities regarding our listed businesses, by contract we exclusively represent the owners / sellers of businesses to whom our obligation is to achieve the best possible price and terms.

For a confidential no obligation assessment of the critical aspects of selling your business, or business assets, I invite you to contact us at Company Connections where your success is our success.
