I purchased two businesses at about the same time through Alpine. They did a great job not only helping me purchase the businesses but first talked with me to see what outcome I was looking for, then walked backwards from there to determine the best kinds of businesses to look at. I worked with Jeremy and he was very helpful and responsive through the whole process. Once I get the two businesses I purchased running in an automated way, I plan to go back to Alpine and look to buy more.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why isn't there more information?
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.
How much do you charge?
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.
Do you assist with financing? How large of a business can I buy?
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.
