WHY CHOOSE OUR TEAM?
Professionalism
The quality of the transaction is directly tied to the quality of people involved. UBG is managed by some of the most experienced Business Brokers in the Northeast. The firm maintains a full time staff including an attorney who will maintain the confidential nature of business transactions, and who are in daily contact with the working group on each transaction.
Co-Brokerage: National Coverage with Local Results
We try to be the easiest M&A firm with whom to co-broke. Our agreements are easy to understand and are tailored to the transaction. We avoid primitive policies of small regional M&A firms who do not co-broke their listings. Closed M&A systems fail and often diminish service to the client. We are the only Rhode Island member of the Business Broker Association of New England (BBANE), the first "MLS-type" system for marketing operating businesses in New England. We advertise nationally and have specialized in selling New England businesses to non-New England buyers.
Midcap Business Brokers & Financial Consultants
Experience
The UBG team has a detailed understanding of how to work with the accountants and attorneys on each deal because we have been on the other side of transactions, managing them as buyer, seller or attorney. Bob, and Mia have been involved in hundreds of transactions in various industries up to $150 million. Not only do we understand the financial and legal issues of structuring a deal, but we can assist with the diligence process as well.
