Laurie Cole
Business Team, subsidiary of BTI Group Inc.
I specialize in helping business owners find qualified buyers when they are ready to sell. My other passion is helping companies grow by acquisition, whether horizontally or vertically. Business brokerage is a service that rewards sellers for their years of hard work and risk, while giving buyers a head start to success. My work strengthens the community by encouraging continuity and success of local business. I have a diverse background of experience that enables me to serve the business community in several ways: • My degree is in Business Administration and Accounting. I have years of accounting experience for publicly and privately held companies. • I was the administrator for a business litigation law firm for 16 years, an experience which exposed me to the wide variety of problems that can arise when companies transfer ownership and taught me how I could help small business owners prepare for a successful exit plan. • I am licensed real estate broker, with 10 years’ experience in residential real estate sales. The daily tools of real estate – evaluating the needs of buyers and sellers, marketing, negotiating, writing contracts, communicating with government agencies, solving problems to facilitate closing – have built a solid foundation for excellence in business sales, mergers, and acquisitions. The company that I work with – Business Team – is the largest business brokerage in the western United States. The company has sold over 7,000 businesses since 1981. I am pleased to say that I am the top producer in Southern California. It is an honor to provide my services to the residents of Orange County. My contact information Cell – 949.633.1612
