I understand that information provided by The Veld Group (TVG) on any Seller’s business or landlord’s property is valuable, sensitive and confidential, and that disclosure of the name of the business(es), and/or any data pertaining to its current or historical financials, lease or other operational details may damage the business as well as TVG’s fiduciary responsibility to the Seller.

Buyer Profile

PROSPECTIVE BUYER PROFILE

Our agreement with our Sellers require that we pre-screen prospective buyers. Kindly fill out as much of the following two pages as you are comfortable with to the best of your ability. The amount of data required may vary depending upon our Seller’s specifications, and/or the requirements we set forth;
at a minimum you will seek to indicate ability to potentially acquire the opportunity inquired on.

It is to a Prospective Buyer’s greatest advantage to be as comprehensive as possible as we often contact qualified Buyers with new listings that meet their criteria. We estimate that 20% - 30% of our businesses never hit the open market as they are sold via this mechanism. This means that Buyers who are reluctant to share pertinent data will likely miss out on many of the best opportunities.

We assure you that financial information is kept strictly confidential, and is not shared with Sellers or any other parties. For assistance in filling out any portion of this form, you may phone 310.652.8353.
