Business Transitions, Inc.

Serving Placer County, CA

The advantage (beyond 30 years in business M&A and brokerage) is having personally owned, operated, and sold several businesses. Most recently, successfully exited a company with 85 employees in 2022. Now back and fully focused helping other business owners exit successfully. Aron Culver has sold everything from manufacturing, tech, distribution, services and franchises of all kinds. He has navigated sales of industry roll-ups, corporate divestitures, and a trove of independently owned businesses. Rather than being pigeon-holed in one industry, he brings a vast amount of diverse experience to draw upon. An example where this is key, is selling businesses for much more than some industry 'specialists' that use basic 'rules of thumb' pricing. Aron is personal, professional, and always prioritizes his clients needs. No up-front fees. Start today with a confidential conversation about business valuation and the process of selling your unique business.
