VR Business Sales, Mergers & Acquisitions

Since our founding in 1979, the people of VR have been committed to making a difference in the lives of hundreds of thousands of entrepreneurial-spirited individuals across America and around the world. The people of VR have continued on through various economic cycles, and have always proven to our clients that the meaning behind the initials VR is a standard of commitment realized by Valued Representation.

Our business is, at heart, a people business. The culture in VR gives back to communities where we live and work; therefore, ensuring that we stay connected with the people who are at the heart of our corporate mission. At VR, we believe we have a responsibility to be good neighbors, and enhance free enterprise on a local, regional, national, and international platform.
Drawing on our heritage as the premier business intermediary organization, we ve clearly defined our market position as a company that helps clients around the world both acquire and divest business enterprises. VR continues to improve on existing business models and at the same time is investing in the development of new opportunities to further our customer base.

In recent years, we ve made steady gains in associate and office productivity through higher production standards, selective recruiting mythology and improved training. We believe the changes we ve made in the infrastructure of VR have given us a solid, more cost-effective platform on which to grow. We measure our long-term success on our ability to deliver Valued Representation to our clients, surpass the ever increasing need for professionalism, and offer an inclusive environment for the entrepreneur to manifest their dream.

We have become one of the few companies that can help people during every phase of their business life. The VR Circle of Success begins during the acquisition planning, builds while in ownership, and culminates with the development of wealth after a divestiture. Even during the trying times of the past year, we have focused on values that have endeared us for 30 years to our clients. A focus on our strategy, in our execution of our business model and on our performance to our clients. In 2009, we significantly strengthened our business with the help of our people, and established leading positions in new markets around the world were we choose to expand.

Our mission for 2010 is a clear one: We will continue to help our clients worldwide acquire, grow or divest their businesses.

Our domestic business is in the midst of an important developmental transformation. During this opportune time, we are focusing on serving the clients with the new product lines that take into consideration the times we live in. Our core business has always been and will continue to be, the sale of privately-held business.

Our international business is expanding rapidly, and we will continue to look globally for sources of future growth. Cross-border business transactions has not only enhanced our reputation, but is attracting the right people to the VR family.

Our target for increasing growth on an intermediary, office and corporate level will be challenging; but we believe it is appropriate to set high standards if you are going to remain the best. Our resolve for passing all our 2010 goals is strong, and it will be the people in VR that get us there.

Today, we carefully adapt our operating policies to reflect the obligations that we have taken on as the respected leader in privately-held business sales. The corporate culture in VR invites the compilation of knowledge and experience, from our clients, from our intermediaries and from our franchise owners to always improve our products and services.

Our history is an important reminder of what VR can achieve. Our organization has stood strong for more than 30 years. Through it all, we ve be challenged, and we ve aspired to remain the forerunner. We will continue to grow and change, but one thing is for certain. Valued Representation defines VR. It s who we are, it s what we deliver.
