Full-service Business Brokerage - M&A Business Advisors

Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in business services but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Richard Waxman, Managing Partner of M&A Business Advisors, located in Sonoma, CA, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

I provide consultation and brokerage services to private business owners who wish to sell their companies.

Tell us about yourself

Twenty-five years of helping buyers and sellers of small and mid-sized businesses. I have unique and detailed knowledge of an area that few others have, and it gives me great personal satisfaction to be of valuable service to people at life-changing times in their lives.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Maintaining maximum integrity at all times.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

Accepting that there will be some disappointing behavior, not often, but nonetheless, it occurs - from clients who are in whom you had confidence and trust.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

1. Have a well-thought-out and credible business plan.
2. Make sure you have adequate working capital, and then double that.
3. Be prepared for failures, so develop the habit of reacting on a timely basis to take corrective action. (You might consider purchasing an existing business, which is already well established and profitable.)
