Main Street Businesses

Small businesses are the backbone of the U.S. economy; and representative of the American Dream of business ownership. These businesses typically sell for $1 million or less.

Other Criteria:

Seller Discretionary Cashflow (Annual) = $250K or less

Revenues = $1 million or less

Seller Discretionary Cashflow is calculated by adding the Owners Wages to Net Income; and adding back any other unncecessary operating expenses, that are used as tax deductions for operations, but are added back for valuing the business.

ESS is affiliated with the IBBA and PBBA, which are State and International support systems for helping business owners sell their business and/or individuals who want to buy a business.
