Industry Insight

There are over 25+ million businesses in America, with:

• 98% having fewer than 100 employees
• 97% generating under $10 million in annual sales
• 11+ million businesses projected to be transferred by retiring baby boomers

As America’s population ages, the need for professional business intermediaries grows. VR Business Sales is positioned to lead this shift by helping both new entrepreneurs and seasoned owners achieve their goals through successful business transfers.

The sale or divestiture of a business is one of the most important decisions an owner will undertake. It is a responsibility that VR Business Sales takes seriously when accepting the role of a trusted advisor.

VR Business Sales defines its core business sales as transactions with a value of less than $5 million. As franchisees begin their new profession and start building their business, it is in this segment of the market that most people gain experience. The sale of these types of businesses create consistent cash flow and security.

Franchisee Testimonials

"We decided to join VR because after selling our business, we realized something that was missing – a true sense of Valued Representation. VR gives us the opportunity to support business owners and offer the kind of representation we didn’t have. Our mission is to create a WIN-WIN situation for everyone involved."
   -  Ed O'Sullivan & Jennifer Gaynor - Newtown, PA

"When searching for the right business brokerage firm to partner with, we explored many options, each with its own strengths and limitations. However, after careful consideration, we chose to franchise with VR Business Sales because it aligned perfectly with our values, expertise, and long-term vision. VR’s reputation for integrity, professionalism, and comprehensive training stood out to us as a firm that genuinely prioritizes its people and clients alike.

What we appreciate most about VR is the unparalleled support and resources they provide. We enjoy being a part of an organization that fosters collaboration and is built on a culture of shared success. Our decision to join VR Business Sales has been one of the best professional moves we’ve ever made."
   -  Ramzi Daklouche & Claudia Luquerna - Atlanta, GA

"Mr. Baris Guler was referred to me by a mutual friend. My wife and I met with him at his office, and we were impressed with his honesty, knowledge, and unique way of looking at valuations. We decided to work with Mr. Guler and very quickly realized we had made the right decision. In some ways, he was more confident of what we had built than we were. He had a large network of leads, and we began having dialogue with multiple suitors. In the end, he helped us to negotiate a wonderful deal that truly validated our life’s work. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to sell his/her business." Ira Kaufman LCSW​
