Find a Nevada business for sale

Many websites offer listings of Nevada companies for sale. A listing for a Nevada business for sale by owner should show the location, asking price and cash flow, among other details.

I recommend: Go to BizBuySell and select Nevada as the business location. You can also narrow the search parameters by selecting the business category and asking price range. BusinessBroker.net allows you to select the business location by state, and you may also specify an industry and asking price range in your queries.

Locate Nevada business brokers to assist you in the purchase process

NV business brokers can identify businesses that are clearly undesirable and help negotiate a price on the best candidates. A business broker also will help you obtain any licenses and permits that Nevada requires.

I recommend: United Business Brokers has an office in Las Vegas and specializes in the sale, transfer or merger of businesses in the Southwest. The BTI Group in Reno is a full-service brokerage firm for businesses in Nevada and California.

Hire a Certified Public Accountant before you buy a company in Nevada

A CPA will need to review the financial records of any business in which you are interested. Additionally, a CPA can ensure that you file any required legal documents.

I recommend: Tompkins & Peters is in Las Vegas and specializes in general business consulting services, including business sales and acquisitions. Ashley Quinn is in Incline Village and provides a group of business advisory services for clients who wish to buy or sell a business.
