With some of the highest corporate tax rates and property taxes in the country, New Jersey has been ranked as one of the worst states to start a new business according to The Tax Foundation. And while every state has its own challenges, middle market companies in New Jersey often make prime acquisition targets for private equity buyers form other states and countries, especially where corporate tax savings can be realized overnight be relocating to a more tax-friendly region.

Serious About Selling Your Business in New Jersey? Let’s talk.

Selling a business is not easy, especially since the value can fluctuate every 2-3 months based on the company’s ongoing financial performance. Finding the right New Jersey business broker can make all the difference in securing the best value when selling your business. At Smith Holland Advisors, we know firsthand how stressful it can be to sell a business because every member of our team has personally started, operated and sold businesses of our own in the past. We’re entrepreneurs just like you and we know the sell-side of the transaction is always inherently riskier than the buy-side. Our New Jersey business brokers understand this better than most and we can help you mitigate the transaction risks on the sell-side of the deal with professional representation that ensures you have over 30 years of combined experience on our side. Some things can’t be learned in the classroom and our M&A advisors have the real-world experience needed to guide you through every step of the process to sell your business. Any decent business broker in New Jersey can get you an offer, but trust between the buyer and seller is what really gets deals closed. Our M&A deal team knows how to create the right conditions for that trust to naturally build because selling to the right buyer is equally important as selling for the right price.
