Partnering, Strategizing, and Working with Experienced Brokers
Business Strategy
Every business is different, so we build a sale plan around yours. We start with your goals, your timeline, and what makes your company attractive to buyers, then look at current market conditions. From pricing and positioning to negotiation and closing, you’ll know what’s happening at each step and why.
Partnerships with Brooks Pointe
Confidentiality comes first. We screen buyers before they see any details about your company, so employees, customers, and competitors don’t hear about the sale before you’re ready. You stay involved in every decision, and we work around your schedule so the business keeps running smoothly while it’s on the market.
Experienced Business Brokers
Brooks Pointe was founded by TJ Bunday, who has 30 years of experience owning and running businesses, including 20 years leading a competitive sales force company. He knows what it’s like to sit on the owner’s side of the table, and that experience shapes the advice you get at every stage of the sale.

SBA 7(a) Loan ProgramFrequently Asked Questions About Selling Your Business
How do I sell my business with confidence?
Start early and work with someone who has sold businesses like yours. We begin with a confidential conversation about your goals and timeline, then prepare a Broker's Opinion of Value so you know what the market is likely to pay. From there, we build a marketing plan, screen buyers, manage offers, and confidentially guide you through due diligence and closing.
How long does it take to sell a business?
Most sales take six to twelve months from the first conversation to closing. The timeline depends on the size of the company, how organized the financial records are, and how the buyer is paying for the purchase. Deals financed through an SBA loan or a bank often add time for lender approval.
How do you keep the sale confidential?
We don't share your company's name or details publicly. Interested buyers first see a short summary with no identifying information, and only those who sign a confidentiality agreement and show they have the means to buy receive more. Your employees, customers, and vendors don't need to know until you decide to tell them.
What is a Broker's Opinion of Value?
It's our estimate of what your business would likely sell for in today's market. We look at your financial records, your industry, recent sales of similar companies, and current buyer demand. It gives you a realistic starting point for pricing and helps you decide whether now is the right time to sell.
What should I prepare before selling my business?
Gather three years of tax returns and financial statements, a list of equipment and other major assets, copies of leases and key contracts, and a summary of your employees and their roles. Organized records build buyer trust, speed up due diligence, and often lead to stronger offers.
What size businesses do you work with?
We focus on companies with roughly $2 million to $50 million in annual revenue. That includes owner-run companies ready for their next chapter and larger businesses drawing interest from private investors and search funds.
Do you work with buyers too?
Yes. We represent buyers from finding the right business through financing, negotiation, and closing. Full buyer representation is available in select states, and any buyer in the country can attend the Acquisition Primer, our free weekly workshop on buying a business.
Do you only work in North Carolina?
No. Our main office is in Clayton, North Carolina, and while we do have some licensing restrictions that can keep us from representation in some states, we work with owners and buyers across the country. Our approach is nationwide services and local representation, so you get personal attention wherever your business is located.
