About VR Business Brokers / VR M&A Twin Cities
VR Business Brokers / VR M&A Twin Cities is a full-service advisory firm specializing in business sales, mergers and acquisitions, and certified business valuations for lower middle-market companies. Our mission is to help business owners unlock the full value of their life’s work by delivering strategic, confidential, and results-driven advisory services.
We understand that selling a business is more than a transaction — it’s a complex process that requires careful planning, precise valuation, strategic positioning, and experienced deal management. Our team is dedicated to guiding business owners through each stage of the journey, from preparation to post-closing transition, with professionalism and discretion.
Our Services
Business Sales & Mergers
We represent owners seeking to sell their companies to strategic buyers, private equity groups, family offices, or individual investors. Our services include buyer outreach, confidential marketing, due diligence coordination, negotiations, and transaction management — all aimed at maximizing value and ensuring a smooth transition.
Certified Business Valuations
We provide USPAP-compliant valuations and market-based opinion of value reports to support sale preparation, SBA financing, partner buyouts, estate planning, and other strategic decisions. Our valuation expertise gives business owners a clear, data-driven view of their company’s worth.
Exit & Transition Planning
We offer tailored exit strategies to help business owners prepare well in advance of a sale, including management buyouts, generational succession, staged exits, and risk-reduction planning. Early planning helps preserve enterprise value and strengthens deal outcomes.
Market Readiness & Value Enhancement
We help owners improve their company’s marketability and performance ahead of a sale. This includes financial recasting, operational reviews, buyer-readiness assessments, and identification of key value drivers that can increase market value and reduce buyer risk.
Deal Structuring & Negotiation Support
We work closely with sellers, their legal counsel, and accounting teams to design optimal transaction structures, mitigate risk, and navigate allocation, tax, and earnout considerations — ensuring value is preserved throughout the negotiation process.
Real Estate Advisory
When a business sale involves commercial real estate, our team can coordinate the sale or lease of the property in alignment with the business transaction, providing a seamless and strategic process for both assets.
Our Approach
We are known for our rigorous financial analysis, strategic positioning, and proven sales record. Each engagement is handled with strict confidentiality and a commitment to value preservation. We tailor our process to each client’s unique situation, combining market intelligence with disciplined execution to secure competitive offers and successful closings.
