THE HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY OF
ST. LOUIS GROUP

Having been an owner of several businesses over the past 35 years, I feel I know what a business owner is looking for when it’s time to sell their business.  

1)       Extreme confidentiality - I would prefer only one person,  the actual buyer knows that I’m for sale.
2)      Somebody to represent me in the sale, so I can continue to run my business.
3)       Somebody with experience and track record to guide me thru the process.
4)       Find a qualified buyer I can connect to.  To the point, I believe that person will:

a.       Take care of my customers
b.      Do well by my employees
c.       Look to me for advice and mentoring
d.      Grow the business, so down the road, I can look at it with the pride, knowing it was my baby.

Saint Louis Group was born in 1976.  Since then, we have developed  a finely honed  system  to help business owners sell their businesses. 

We have sold hundreds of businesses, each one being a learning experience.  Over 90% of them are still operating today.  In my mind our process is based on our original motto “Doing good things for good people.”

Since our inception, we have joined together with Sunbelt®.  Sunbelt is an international operation with over 350 offices worldwide.  This allows us (as appropriate) to market your business globally.

WHO WE ARE TODAY

The company consists of 20 people, all who have owned their own businesses.  15 of our staff are brokers whose main job is to help you achieve your mission with care and efficiency.

So please, take a look at our web-site: www.saintlouisgroup.com  and look at who we are.  Pick the broker you feel would be most likely to help you fulfill your goals, and give them a call to arrange a one on one meeting.

In the second decade of the new Millennium, small business is going to grow beyond to the current levels.

Good luck on your new adventure.
