How does your firm advertise and still maintain the
confidentiality of my school?

   As a company that specializes in your   industry, we are always looking for qualified buyers for facilities of all types and sizes. As such, most of our  advertisements are non specific in nature. We will never disclose your name or specific location to the general public.

   How does your firm help me to establish a fair and marketable selling price for my business and/or property?

   In general, we will use a combination of Comparable Sales data, Cash Flow Analysis, Area Land/Building Sales data, and in some cases National Statistical data.

   How long will it take to sell my facility?

   This is probably the most common question asked and yet the most difficult to answer. Our experience has shown that demand in your area and current cash flow from operations are the two most significant factors related to faster sales. On average, most facilities sell within six months to one year. However, depending on the two factors mentioned above some sell in significantly less time. Conversely, some more complicated deals may take significantly longer.

   What do you consider to be the single most important factor when selling a facility?

   Most definitely cash flow! It is the cash flow from the operation of the business that fuels demand and determines whether a Lender will provide financing to our qualified Buyer.

   What type of financing is available through Mainland Financial Services?

  SBA loans up to 90% LTV are available and in many cases limited owner financing is also available. Options are also available for those owners looking to refinance existing loans.
