Selling Businesses and Business Assets

An auction environment is the only place to sell something for more than you might have asked for it. And, in business, there are times when the value of the parts exceeds the value of the whole. CBI Team provides expert support and end-to-end management to help sellers and lenders dispose of assets and earn maximum value. Candidates for CBI Team’s LAP program encompass several business scenarios including:

LAP is an industry-leading service based on the CBI Team’s 20+ years of experience selling businesses and divesting assets. With our in-house business valuation, sales and licensed auctioneers, we can deliver more value in compressed timelines.

Planning

CBI Selects optimum date, time and location for maximum appeal for your auction.

CBI assesses resource needs and, if necessary, secures a professional team from within CBI’s network to set up the auction and prepare the location for auction day.

Promotion & Marketing

CBI social selling begins with marketing across our massive database to more than 20,000 business owners and buyers.

An additional, targeted, advertising campaign is created and may include, internet ads, social media, print publications, flyers, direct mail, email campaigns and other high-touch tactics.

In some cases, we may simulcast the auction to reach bidders around the globe.

Management

CBI selects award-winning auctioneers with industry expertise for bid calling.
- While CBI maintains a licensed auctioneer and auction house, only the finest bid callers are used while we manage the process.

Turn-Key Support

On sale day, CBI provides all necessary personnel including cashiers, ring men, loaders and any others needed.

Once the sale is complete and all accounts are settled, CBI delivers a check for the proceeds.

CBI strives for same day payout and can generally achieve that goal.

Following the sale, CBI manages the load out and clean up.

Live auction costs vary widely depending on size, location, content, local laws, advertising needs, crew size and more. Like traditional auctioneers, CBI charges a percentage of the sales amount for our fee. Unlike others, all expenses are included in our fee. So instead of paying a fee plus expenses as. is customary, CBI charges a flat fee that includes everything so it is in CBI’s interest (as well as yours) to sell for top dollar.

CBI is a full-service vendor. Once you select CBI, the only thing left for you to do is collect a check.

What do our clients have to say?

“Using the Loans4Biz program was easy, quick and professional. I had over 18 banks respond with competitive loan proposals, both national and local banks. I was provided with contact information and set up meetings with several bank officers. The banks were timely with their responses, professional and provided me with written competitive proposals. I was able to negotiate financing to meet my business needs and established professional business relationships with several banks. I recommend the Loans4Biz program for current and future business owners.”

“I wanted to give a huge thanks to the Loans4Biz program! I am a current business owner and was looking to expand with a new business venture but was struggling to obtain financing. I was starting to get discouraged after meeting with around 10 lenders and I still couldn’t get financed. I was running out of options when I came across the CBI TEAM and spoke with Kelly Tivis. Kelly helped me with my business plan and put together a great packet to send out to many different lenders. Needless to say within a few days we had 6-7 proposals back. I am now in the process of a build-out for our new ‘Good Feet Store’ in Fayetteville, Arkansas. This is a great program. I really encourage anyone struggling with financing to give them a shot!”
