SellMyBusiness.com Launched to Provide "Do-It-Yourself" Solution for Buying and Selling Business Assets

Bingham Farms, MI, April 17, 2008 --(PR.com)-- SellMyBusiness.comSM today launched a unique online exchange community where entrepreneurs and business people can convene to buy or sell companies and equipment, as well as buy, sell or lease real estate. The site also serves as a valuable resource to business owners or employees looking for professional service providers.

Co-owned by founders John Maddox, an established CPA and business advisor, and Mark Lundquist, an engineer and turnaround management expert, the new e-business was launched in response to the growing trend of business people becoming more reliant on their own abilities.

“Over the years we have become a more self service world and SellMyBusiness.com combines the entrepreneurial spirit with the ‘do it yourself’ attitude of today’s business professionals,” said John Maddox, president. “It’s really a ‘conduit for commerce’— a secure environment where people can buy, sell or lease real estate and equipment or buy and sell a business.”

SellMyBusiness.com features a multitude of available businesses for sale. There is no cost for visitors to view any listing. Sellers have the option to pay a nominal monthly fee to list their business or elect to take advantage of the site’s exclusive confidential listing service.

For members seeking a higher level of confidentiality for their sale, there is the Business Vault SM confidential listing service — a private and secure subscription-only area that requires a screening and pre-qualification process. This process is used to verify who a buyer is and the buyer’s financial ability to support a transaction. Listings in the Business Vault are strictly confidential.

As an added service, SellMyBusiness.com offers an exclusive Business Watch feature, which allows participants to receive electronic notification when a specific type of business they are interested in becomes available on the site.

In addition to businesses, the site lists real estate available for sale, purchase or lease. Available real estate includes vacant land, commercial buildings, industrial facilities and others. Business people also can buy or sell equipment and surplus assets on the site. SellMyBusiness.com provides business owners with a means to quickly generate cash flow and maximize their returns from surplus goods. Real estate and equipment listings are currently free.

“John and I have advised hundreds of business owners on strategies to ensure that their businesses are successful,” said Mark Lundquist, vice president. “We have learned from experience that entrepreneurs and business operators want more personal involvement in the successful outcomes of their companies, as well as access to the means to help them achieve that goal.”

While the site champions self-reliance, it also provides users with referrals to gain assistance from qualified professionals, if desired. As a resource, SellMyBusiness.com connects site visitors to top service providers located throughout the United States.
