Business Brokering
Buy or Sell a Business With Confidence
Confidential, hands-on representation for Greater Cincinnati business owners and buyers — from people who have built and run businesses themselves.
Operators Helping Operators
We understand businesses from the inside
Before commercial real estate, Nick Pesola built Pesola Hospitality Group from a pop-up at Findlay Market into a multi-concept restaurant group. Chase Patrick spent years as a general manager in top-tier restaurants. We know what owners put into a business — and what buyers need to see before they commit.
Because we are also commercial real estate brokers, we handle the property side of a business sale too: lease assignments, landlord negotiations, and the sale or lease of the real estate itself.
How We Help
For sellers and for buyers
Selling your business
Get the right buyer and the right price while keeping the sale confidential from employees, customers, and competitors.
- Pricing guidance grounded in your financials and the market
- Confidential marketing with signed NDAs before details are shared
- Screening so you only spend time with qualified buyers
- Negotiation of price, terms, and transition
- Lease assignment and real estate handled in-house
Buying a business
Find an established business that fits your goals and buy it with a clear view of the operation and the real estate behind it.
- Search for businesses that match your criteria and budget
- Review of financials, operations, and growth potential
- Evaluation of the lease or property the business depends on
- Offer strategy and negotiation
- Coordination with your lender, attorney, and accountant through closing
