CONSULTING
L. P. Grasso & Company, Inc. provides a variety of consulting services to individuals, companies and business owners. A free, no obligation, initial consultation is offered to those seeking to educate themselves on the process and the options of either buying or selling a business.

This initial consultation usually concentrates on providing answers to your questions. Owners want to know: Should I sell my business? Is now the best time to sell my business? What is my business worth? Who will want to buy my business? Should I expand my business with outside financing instead of selling it? Buyers frequently ask: What kinds of businesses are for sale? How much do I have to invest? How do I know if a business is profitable?

The initial consultation is also a time for us to explore your reasons, timing, background and priorities. Questions bring out the obvious and obscure facts that influence the number of options available to you. Our intent is to open many possibilities for your consideration. This provides the greatest degree of flexibility and control over the outcome that is best for you.

The decision to work together may take more than one discussion. The decision is based on what is in your best interest and whether we can be an asset in achieving your goals. When we can be of assistance, you receive our focus and our best effort.

To increase the likelihood of success we bring together experts in the fields required and coordinate their efforts on your behalf. This team approach is a powerful resource for owners beginning the process of planning an exit strategy or an acquisition.

In the business transition field, L. P. Grasso & Company, Inc. works for buyers who have already found a business to buy. We conduct or coordinate negotiations, due diligence and closing of the transaction.
L. P. Grasso & Company, Inc. also works with sellers of businesses who have found a buyer and need help in closing the transaction. We also provide consultation in the area of succession planning, the transfer of the business from one generation to the next.

If, after the consultation, we decide not to proceed, we can provide you:

introductions to business brokers who have experience or expertise in your industry;

access to our cadre of strategic partners;

referrals to legal, accounting, financial and estate planning business advisors.
