Two Ways to Find Your New Business
- Search Sunbelt's database of Businesses for Sale. Click on the businesses that are of interest to you, then click on "Prospective Buyer Package" for that business, print out, complete and fax to our office, (408) 436-1996, and the listing broker will contact you. The "Prospective Buyer Package" consists of a "Blind Summary" with general information about the business; a Non-Disclosure Agreement since the information that will be disclosed to you is strictly confidential; and a buyer profile and financial statement which are required to determine if there is a match between you and the business.
