We are experienced business brokers and merger and acquisition advisors that specialize in the sale of privately held businesses primarily with revenues between $1 million and $100 million.

Sell Your Business – Confidentially
From the moment you first speak about selling a business, all conversations and information are kept confidential. We can meet confidentially at our Allentown or Reading offices or discreetly on or off site. Our process requires all buyers to sign non-disclosure agreements and go thru our screening process. In addition, we work with you to control and restrict access to sensitive information. Our clients can attest to the protection we have afforded them when selling their businesses with no loss of confidentiality to employees, competitors, suppliers or customers.
Lehigh Valley Knowledge – Regional, National and International Buyers – Maximizing the Price for Your Business
Our extensive database and network of business buyers combined with our tactics for identifying buyers means maximum market access. This includes buyers in the Lehigh Valley, eastern Pennsylvania, across the US and internationally. As a result many of our clients receive multiple offers, allowing them to maximize their value and obtain the best terms possible. We have worked at local companies such as Binney & Smith in Easton, Daytimers in Allentown, and Strohs and Boston Beer in Allentown. Except for five years in Chicago, our Managing Director, Dave Clark has lived and worked in the Allentown area for over 35 years.
Maximum Protection – Registered – Certified Business Brokers and & M&A Advisors
Pennsylvania does not require any licensing or certification to be a business broker or M&A Advisor. However, at BMI we believe maximizing our knowledge and protecting our clients is the most important thing we can do. The Managing Directors have over 35 years experience in the valuing, buying and selling of businesses and both are Certified Business Brokers (Intermediaries) with the International Business Brokers Association and M&A Master Intermediaries with the M&A Source. In addition they hold the series 79 and 63 FINRA registrations. Learn More (including registration in Pennsylvania).

Testimonials
We Were Very Impressed With BMI’s Work Every Step Of The Way. BMI Mergers & Acquisitions handled a recent sale of our information management business. We were very impressed with BMI’s work every step of the way. They prepared a marketing book which represented our company well, they pre-qualified all of the prospects that we met with, they gave us guidance on what information to prepare, and they stayed in constant communication with us and with the buyer throughout the entire process. BMI’s specialized knowledge and experience were essential to us completing the sale and ending up with terms that worked well for all parties. On a more personal level, Dave and Tom are pleasant, professional, respectful, and truly a pleasure to work with.
