Frequently asked questions.

Why is Falcarragh different?

Many business owners and business buyers don’t know where to turn for advice or general guidance. At Falcarragh, we aim to meet our clients where they are by providing clear steps and a suite of services to support your business transition. We are the opposite of the franchise business brokers. Rather than fitting you into a box, or racing you toward a finish line, we work to understand your specific situation and find a solution tailored to suit your both your needs in the moment and your long term goals. At Falcarragh, our aim is to be your business sale concierge: here for you exactly as you need us, every step of the way.

Where can I find information on your pricing?

Our pricing depends on several factors. Fill out our new client form, let us know what you are interested in and we will send you an outline of our options.

I am already in the process of purchasing a business and need help with one or more specific things, do you consult by the hour?

Yes, if you do not want a holistic approach or a package of services, we are happy to help consult by the hour. The process is simple, we simply send you a fee agreement and you are able to pay online through our website.

My business isn’t profitable, do I still have anything to sell?

The short answer is that it depends. If your business has assets, equipment, and/or a strategic location that would be of value to another business, we may be able to help you realize an asset sale to a strategic buyer.

Can you help me with a restaurant location sale for a leased space?

We have helped many restaurants sell one or more underperforming locations by offering up the locations as asset sales with lease assignments. If your restaurant is a profitable business, especially if it has multiple locations, we can work with you to sell the business as a package. Please contact us with your specifics and have your lease ready so we can go over your options.

Are there any industries you specialize in?

We have been involved in the transition of many businesses in the food/beverage, wellness/fitness, retail, and construction services categories. We also have special pricing and packages available for professionals interested in selling their book of business: Real Estate Agents, Insurance Agents, Financial Professionals, CPA’s and more.

I want to retire and sell my book of business to a member of my team or someone else in my firm. Can you help?

We have worked with professionals to value their books of business and structure deals to transition to junior members of their team or to different teams all together. We have also helped retiring business owners sell their companies to their employees. In these cases we typically recommend a Value Snap Shot and our Transaction Coordination Services.

I’m worried someone might find out I’m exploring selling my business. How confidential is my information?

Our professional reputation relies on confidentiality. We are happy to execute a mutual Confidential Disclosure Agreement and work to make you feel comfortable every step of the way.

I own the real estate that the my business operates in? Should I include it in the sale?

Congratulations on owning your real property as well as your business! Sometimes it makes sense to include the real estate in the sale of the business and sometimes it makes more sense to exclude the real estate and structure the deal with a lease that maintains ownership for the Seller. It all depends on a holistic view. As seasoned commercial real estate professionals, we are able to advise you on the pros and cons of both strategies. We also work closely with your CPA to look at the most tax advantageous ways of structuring the deal.

Do you offer referral fees?

Yes! Our business is based on referrals from past clients and other industry professionals. We care deeply about our clients and we want to take care of yours just as well as you do. We are very happy to offer a referral fee on closed business. Please contact us for details.
