About Us

Why our clients choose BTS time and time again.

Why Our Clients Hire Us

Business Transfers & Strategies stands on a foundation of professionalism, integrity, and business acumen. We provide personalized services to support our clients in successfully acquiring profitable businesses. Our mission is to find businesses that align with our clients’ acquisition criteria, and to do so more quickly and efficiently than they could independently.

Acquiring a business is a complex process, one where you can’t afford to make mistakes.

It takes many transactions to know where the pitfalls are and how to avoid them. Our clients don’t want to become experts at finding and buying businesses. Instead, they want to quickly acquire a great business and then apply their management skills to improve the business. Many times, our clients come to us after looking for a suitable acquisition target for over a year, to no avail. By then, they have wasted considerable time and money.

Our Specialty

BTS specializes in matching client-specific requirements and revealing acquisition targets that aren’t publicly available for sale, also known as proprietary opportunities. It’s not unusual for our clients to examine dozens of companies—companies that perfectly meet their acquisition criteria. Our systematic lead generation approach allows our clients to spend the majority of their time evaluating these companies to determine which best align with their goals. Additionally, we offer guidance to clients who may only have a general idea about the type of business they’re interested in. We discuss their background and aspirations to identify sectors that present the most promising opportunities for them.

At BTS, we cater to clients who are interested in building wealth through business ownership, and those yearning for a sense of accomplishment in managing and expanding the business. Personal success often takes precedence over monetary rewards.
