San Diego, CA, United States– Vanguard Resource Group, a full service business brokerage and appraisal firm, recently performed an appraisal for a prominent local law firm.

The law firm, which prefers not to be identified, needed a second opinion of value for a business that was part of a divorce mediation.

“We were asked if we could do a quick valuation and have it ready for their mediation the following week” stated Ken Oppeltz, Managing Principal of Vanguard Resource Group.  “While we typically need a bit more time, we value our relationships with our attorney and CPA partners, so did what we needed to do, and provided the valuation two days prior to their mediation.”

San Diego, CA, United States– Vanguard Resource Group is pleased to announce the successful sale of a prominent southern California trailer dealership. Vanguard Resource Group represented both the buyer and seller in the transaction.

The seller is a well-known retailer of utility, horse, construction, and specialty trailers serving all of southern California and much of the Southwest. With a strong reputation and over 20 years in business, the company generated interest from multiple investors. However, given the uniqueness of the business, the seller was searching for a buyer with some related experience that could take the business to the next level.

Ken Oppeltz, Managing Principal of Vanguard Resource Group, stated “Because of the strong financial results, the company generated a lot of interest. But we were able to identify a buyer with vehicle dealership experience, both in operations and in sales management. Since the seller owned the real estate and would be the buyer’s new landlord, it was important to find just the right buyer. We think this deal was a win-win for both parties”

Rancho Bernardo, CA & Lemon Grove, CA.  United States– Vanguard Resource Group, a full service business brokerage and appraisal firm, recently sold two small “main street” businesses to local owner/operators

Nannell’s Florist, based in the Mercado shopping center in Rancho Bernardo, was a long-time favorite for many north county inland residents. But when the seller got engaged, then married, then decided to have a baby, she knew it was time to move on. While many bigger players including very well-known shops showed interest, the facility and community was best served by an owner/operator. VRG through its marketing efforts identified a buyer who was in the floral industry, but working from her home. Nannell’s proved to be an excellent next step for the buyer to transition from a home based operation to a retail storefront. Now named Cozy Posies, the owner is working hard to combine the traditional florist shop with specialty events and weddings.

Food Factory was a 42 year old diner located in Lemon Grove, California. Seating just 30 guests and the customers enjoying seeing the owner behind the grill, VRG knew they had to find an owner/owner with both experience and personality. The business was sold to a husband/wife chef team, renamed the Bleu Whisk, and is enjoying great review on Yelp.com.

VRG has sold businesses valued between $100k and $30MM. VRG provides “Wall Street” services for “Main Street” businesses.
