Jim made the process of selling my business easier than I could have ever expected. As a small business owner, the idea of selling something you have put everything into for several years can be daunting. Jim helped me through every aspect of the process from understanding what to expect, getting the most return on my investment, and helping me through some of the unexpected hurdles and concerns along the way. If you are considering selling your business don't try to do it on your own and I highly recommend Jim/ Playbook!

Playbook’s Jim Peddle represented the seller in the sale of an event rental and design company. Through Jim’s marketing efforts, I became aware of this opportunity and became a potential buyer. Even though Jim represented the seller, he was great to work with for me, the buyer, as well. Jim provided excellent communication facilitation between me and the founders of this family owned business. His experience, guidance and advice was helpful to both parties in recognizing and arriving at what I believe we both considered a fair price for the company. I believe both parties achieved their goals in this transaction with Jim’s help. Isn’t that really the desired outcome whenever a business changes hands. I would highly recommend Playbook and Jim Peddle. I will certainly be contacting him if I ever need his services in the future.

Jim represented the seller of a business my client was buying. He did a great job of helping move the process along, was timely in responding to requests and was an excellent representative for his client.

Working with Jim was educational and really helped me structure my deal. I strongly recommend using Jim's services when buying or selling a business. He's a real pro!

Selling a business is different than selling real estate. First, we strive for 100% confidentiality. This privacy is one reason it takes longer to sell. Typically, an owner would expect their business to sell in around 3-9 months. There are a number of stages when selling including the valuation of the business, marketing, negotiating an LOI and due diligence. Each stage is critical to the success of selling a business.
Our team of Business Brokers have listed over 180 Chicago area companies since 2011. We don't focus on any one area and we have successfully managed the sale of companies in retail, distribution, manufacturing, business services, and technology. We typically look for companies earning a minimum of $100,000 in Seller Discretionary Earnings per year.

Absolutely we love touring the businesses we list as soon as possible. Either after hours or on weekends too. We don’t make you interrupt an entire day of work to talk with us. Call Jim to discuss your needs.
Depending on the situation and seller motivations we do have less advertised listings for sale that only go to our buyer database which is now over 4,000 active entrepreneurs. We immediately market new opportunities to buyers based on the criteria they submit to our team. For example, if you are a buyer looking for a business with $500,000 of cash flow we will not send you listings that have an SDE (Seller Discretionary Earnings) of $90,000. We encourage you to tell us your location, SDE preference and amount of downpayment available.
