Our office is on Fair Oaks Boulevard, and Sacramento is home for our team. We work with owners across the city and county, from Midtown and Downtown to Natomas, South Sacramento, Elk Grove, Citrus Heights, Rancho Cordova and Folsom. Many of the owners we meet built their business over decades. Our job is to help them take the next step calmly, confidentially and on their own timeline.

We aren't here to rush anyone. Some owners call us a year or two before they're ready. They want to know what their business might be worth, what buyers will ask for, and how to get the books in order. We're always glad to have that conversation.

Sacramento is California's state capital and the seat of Sacramento County. It sits where the Sacramento and American Rivers meet, and Interstates 5 and 80 and U.S. 50 all run through it. That mix of government employment, commuters and established neighborhoods supports many neighborhood businesses: liquor stores, convenience stores, gas stations, franchises, restaurants and service businesses. Those are the kinds of businesses we help buy and sell most often.

In practice, a local sale usually involves:

• Confidentiality. Employees, customers and landlords shouldn't hear about a sale before the owner is ready. We market without naming the business, and every buyer signs an NDA before they see details.

• The lease. In most Sacramento business sales, the buyer takes over or renegotiates the lease. We bring the landlord in early so there are no surprises.

• SBA financing. Most business buyers use SBA loans. We work with the lender, the escrow officer and both sides' advisors from LOI to funding.

• Licenses and permits. Liquor stores need an ABC license transfer, and gas stations add fuel supply and environmental steps. We coordinate those steps so they run alongside escrow.

• Prep: about 2–4 weeks to gather financials, equipment lists and lease documents, and to agree on pricing.

• Marketing: usually 2–3 months, depending on pricing.

• Escrow: usually 60–90 days with SBA financing, though it can vary.

• Gas stations and liquor stores: about 3–6 months overall, because of licensing and lender steps.
