John Ryan - Click Here To Read John's Articles - www.thebusinessshop.ie is Ireland’s only
online directory committed to supporting
business opportunities. It was created to
fill a void that currently exists for
those seeking to buy or sell a business in
Ireland. Until now, most business owners
used two primary routes for selling their
businesses: expensive, one-off,
mass-market newspaper advertising and/or
enquiries through their accountants. Both
methods are limiting and time-consuming.
On the other hand, those buying businesses
were restricted to placing expensive and
untargeted advertisements, searching
newspapers and trade magazines in the hope
that opportunities will be advertised
there, or to making enquiries through
their own personal network of business
contacts.
thebusinessshop.ie is designed to be the
first port of call for anyone seeking to
buy or sell a business in Ireland. The
website currently incorporates businesses
for sale, franchises and businesses
seeking partners. It is designed for every
size and type of business in Ireland, from
the smallest home-based businesses to
large companies with international
operations.

Dan Munter - Click Here To Read Dan's Articles - I am a Los Angeles business broker
specializing in the buying and selling of
small businesses. I have bought and sold
businesses for myself. I also have worked
as a stock broker for 27 years before I
sold that business. As a stock broker, I
learned how to identify and capitalize on
many different trends in business. I bring
that same expertise to my job as a
business broker. I also have learned that
service needs to be the top priority for
each client. Most people only buy or sell
a business once in their life. This is
more than a financial transaction. It is
a life changing event for both the buyer
and seller. For the seller, I not only
appraise the business but also suggest
ways to increase the value. For the buyer,
I am an adviser and and coach to make sure
the transaction is well thought out. I
also try to arrange for a pre- SBA
approved loan. Please contact me at
