Entrust Associates...Where Sellers Turn for Unmatched Expertise
Business Brokers Serving the Raleigh NC Metro Area

If you're thinking about selling your business, we can help you.

Entrust brings unmatched expertise and professional representation to sellers of businesses in the Triangle area, including Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill, as well as Eastern North Carolina. If you have a business elsewhere in North Carolina, we may be able to help you, either directly or through a referral.

We offer confidential services, bring you only qualified buyers, and can assist in buyer financing. And, as a result of our extensive experience and professional qualifications, we offer you the peace of mind that comes from knowing the sale of your business is in the best possible hands.

The process of selling or buying a business can often be smooth, but at times there may be some bumps in the road. The business brokers at Entrust have the knowledge to keep things simple but the expertise to identify out-of-the-box solutions when necessary.

One of our brokers has a legal degree, is a former Vice President of a New York Stock Exchange company, and practiced law for 25 years before retiring. He's an Arbitrator, a Certified Mediator, and an experienced negotiator. Our second broker is a CPA and corporate CFO, who has dealt with a wide variety of accounting and financial issues. Finally, our third broker holds an MBA and has applied his business skills in several senior Finance and Commercial positions at a Fortune 5 corporation for over 25 years. All of our brokers are entrepreneurs who have bought and sold their own businesses.

In many of life's activities, having the assistance of a CPA or someone with legal background and experience may not seem important, but in the sale of a business, when it comes to providing guidance or resolving problems, that expertise can make all the difference in achieving a successful sale.

Feel confident knowing that our advice is based not only on our professional credentials, but on substantial real-world experience as well. With a combined 60 years of sophisticated business experience, we've been involved in achieving sales of businesses with a combined value of more than $760 million.

As a seller, you'll never have to worry that we might have an obligation to a buyer that could interfere with our commitment to you. That's because Entrust specializes in representing business sellers only. We work with buyers on an informal basis (and we have a list of hundreds of potential buyers who have contacted us), but we do not accept compensation from them, so our loyalty (legally and morally) is to the sellers we represent.

You'll have the comfort of knowing that we are focused on the successful sale of your business. As a small firm, we purposely limit the number of businesses we will represent. You're entitled to personal attention and service, and we are committed to providing it.

Your business is unique. So it shouldn't be marketed as though it is the same as any other business. In marketing your business, we focus on the characteristics that make it unique: its strengths and its weaknesses. We capitalize on the distinctive characteristics of your business to craft a compelling story, which we will use to sell your business. Click here to understand how identifying weaknesses can contribute to the successful sale of your business.

We'll handle the selling process with care, professionalism, and judgment. From the first time you meet with us until you receive your check at closing, our entire process is designed to maximize your opportunity for a stress-free, profitable sale.

The service a business broker provides is not something that you can touch or feel. We can't shine it up, put it on a showroom floor, or let you drive it to see whether it feels comfortable to you.

But, what we can do is try to provide more information about us and what it's like to work with us. That's what we hope to achieve with this website. We also welcome the opportunity to get together with you in person.

Your decision to sell your business involves many considerations. We'll help you explore your options without pressure.
