Professionalism ... Passion ... Performance
Professionalism. From day one, FBO Sales has been fiercely committed to providing the highest level of professionalism in every engagement we undertake.
To us, “professionalism” means:
- recognizing and understanding emerging trends in business valuation, marketing techniques, research tools, and deal structuring, incorporating ideas from both Wall Street and Main Street;
- continually refining how we reach and motivate highly qualified buyers;
- achieving the highest level of accreditation and continuing education from our profession’s largest association, the International Business Brokers Association; and
- acting with integrity in all respects, at all times, including being prepared, honoring commitments, and providing the honest counsel you need (even when it’s not what you want to hear).
Passion. In business, nothing great happens in the absence of passion. At FBO Sales, we believe that passion is absolutely essential to your success and ours. We have been drawn to the aviation market because it matches our passion, both in and out of the office. We are aviators at heart, with a love for all things aviation based. We not only speak
the lingo — we live
it!
There are few industries where the stakes are as high as in business sales and acquisitions. Everyone involved must be prepared to ride an emotional roller coaster while staying focused on the ultimate goal.
Stress is part of the deal, but it is passion that fuels our tenacity to keep a deal moving past roadblocks, minimizes stress for all parties, reduces the emotional peaks and valleys in consummating a deal, and ensures a smooth landing and safe taxi to our final destination: the sale or acquisition of your business.
Performance. FBO Sales' ability to achieve your goals is the true measure of our value. The focus that is required in achieving your goals forces us to be very discerning in accepting engagements to sell or buy a business.
To ensure that are attention is not divided, and our energy is not diluted, we typically accept less than half of the engagements offered. In other words, we do not compromise our standards or your objectives by overextending our capacity or accepting engagements we can’t successfully complete.
By accepting fewer clients, we can focus more properly on you, provide a higher level of service, and more thoroughly craft a deal that best fits your objectives.
