He has participated in the sale and purchase of a wide variety of businesses from various industries including manufacturing, distribution, service, restaurant/bar, and retail, including over 35 liquor stores and 13 gas station/convenience stores (many of which involved commercial real estate).  Jim attributes his success to his extensive experience in sales and marketing, ability to analyze financial statements, and understanding of the importance of confidentiality when handling sensitive information. Sellers and buyers alike have been very happy with Jim’s professional and confidential approach to handling all aspects of a business sale, including negotiations, buyer qualification, document preparation, and marketing strategies.  Jim also has experience working with landlords (leases) and all aspects of selling commercial property. He has vast experience working with banks, title companies, and city administrators throughout the Twin Cities area, as well as with the state of MN for licensing issues.
