Following your passion is one of the most rewarding chapter’s in one’s life, but can also be one of the most difficult when it involves family, business and your livelihood. The perils of the SBA loan process, the intricacies of business plans, the governmental agencies and the compliance necessary for all of the above most times can be formidable – unless of course you enlist a team of professionals that understand their businesses as well as you know yours. Mike Russell and his team at Carmel Business Sales stepped in with their hands on approach, beginning with the negotiations with the Landlord, hand-holding through the loan process and the modifications of our Use Permit with the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea, culminating with the license transfers, the governmental agencies associated with our industry and finally obtaining our Certificate of Occupancy. Carmel Business Sales are a group of qualified experts with a realistic approach.  They relish in not only the creative process but the subsequent success of your business as well. The dream of following our family’s passion has now become a reality for us with heartfelt thanks going out everyone at Carmel Business Sales.

Testimonials

"Without your directions, insight, guidance and overall support, we would never have been able to handle this new acquisition. You were there for us (all hours of the day and night, I might add) whenever we had questions and concerns... Your honesty in analyzing all factors of our current business and applying the pros and cons of purchasing this business rather than starting our own in Napa will not be forgotten...Thank you for the knowledge, support and overall interest in us-you're the best!"
