Jeff Dousharm

No Coast Business Advisors

Serving Polk County, IA

We serve serious sellers and buyers by being different than most brokers. Instead of putting on a big dog and pony show we simply focus on getting results. With the partners of the company each having owned and sold millions of businesses ourselves, we know what buyers and sellers need. More importantly we run this like a real business venture where we develop a target profile for the right buyers and go after them with direct marketing. Some brokers are lazy and just throw up their listings on a few boards and wait until something happens. Instead of wasting our time and yours, we market YOUR business directly to the RIGHT people. So if you want focused work on YOUR business where we make sure you aren't leaving money on the table and then go and find you the right buyers, then we are the team to work with. And if you just want a transaction where someone gets you a listing on a few boards and gives you a cute presentation focused on THEM instead of you, then you will be best served somewhere else because we turn down business from sellers who aren't serious.

Buy or Sell a Service Business in Iowa
Service businesses are some of the most commonly listed for sale on BizBuySell, and include a wide range of people and process driven companies that sell expertise or labor rather than physical products. Common businesses are home and commercial services (cleaning, inspections, renovation, HVAC, automotive services), business services (marketing, signage, printing, brokerage, coworking), route based and asset light operations (parking management, entertainment routes), and franchised service brands. These businesses typically operate on contract , project , or recurring service models, generating revenue through service fees, ongoing maintenance agreements, route accounts, memberships, or territory based franchises, often with relatively low inventory requirements and scalable staffing.
