Cooperative Partnerships Performance has partnered with many of the leading regional and national broker and franchise organizations, giving us access to thousands of available business opportunities. We help buyers navigate the overwhelming number of opportunities to find the ones best suited to them.

Creative Financing Many prospective business buyers do not have sufficient cash on hand to purchase their dream business. While SBA financing may be available in some situations, many small businesses are sold with seller financing, with the business seller holding a promissory note for the buyer. At Performance, we are experienced negotiators and can help you obtain the best financing terms that will help you succeed in your new business. Performance works with a national vendor to help buyers fund a business acquisition by rolling over their retirement accounts into the new business without paying taxes or penalties.
