BUYER ADVISORY SERVICES
Crossing the finish line
Business Sales Group (BSG) started offering Buyer advisory services (Buy-side mandates) at the request of Buyers who felt like they were going into a transaction "naked" without a trusted advisor. Sellers usually have a Broker or M&A advisor representing them, but Buyers are usually alone. BSG is now offering Buyer representation and advisory services so Buyers can go into a transaction with full representation and not be alone.
