Frequently Asked Questions

We provide general information about our business listings to give prospective buyers an overview while intentionally withholding certain details to protect the confidentiality of the business and its owner. This approach safeguards sensitive information from competitors, employees, and other parties who might misuse it.

If you're interested in learning more about certain listings, we will send you a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). Once the NDA is in place, we can share more detailed information, including the business name, financial records, and other essential details necessary for evaluating the opportunity.

We represent the seller and receive our commission directly from them. As a buyer, you won’t incur any fees from Alpine. However, the escrow attorney will charge a fee for preparing and executing the closing documents, typically $575.

Alpine provides complimentary SBA (Small Business Administration) loan assistance for all our listings. SBA loans typically require a minimum down payment of 10-15% of the project cost (purchase price plus bank fees). For example, with $100,000 in cash, you could potentially purchase a business valued just under $1 million. Keep in mind, loan approval depends on several factors, including industry experience, proper debt servicing ratios, and other qualifications, but these are general guidelines.
