US Business Exchange (USBX) has set out to fundamentally change the way small to medium sized businesses are bought and sold. There are over 20 million small businesses in the United States today and although 30%-50% of business owners expect to sell their businesses within 3 years, only approximately 20% of businesses "for sale" are actually sold. By leveraging the Internet to provide a complete and professional M&A solution, USBX will bring liquidity to the inefficient market for small business M&A. USBX is building a new kind of Internet-enabled organization, dedicated to streamlining and expediting the M&A process. Our unique and comprehensive offering operates through 3 core business units - the Listing Exchange, Resource Center, and Advisory Services. Our Listing Exchange is the leading high-quality database of businesses for sale and qualified buyers. USBX provides a cost effective and confidential forum for listings that empowers buyers, sellers and their advisors to manage the sales process more effectively. Our Resource Center is the most comprehensive source of content, expertise, tools and services to assist existing and prospective buyers and sellers. It includes a powerful network of professional service providers, Comprehensive Business Valuations, a Forms Center, Education Center, News Watch, and proprietary industry research reports, all of which help guide and assist buyers and sellers throughout the M&A process. USBX Advisory Services (expected to launch late 2000) will bring the best practices to the small and medium sized M&A market. Advisory Services will provide a streamlined and cost effective approach to providing M&A advice through the use of our Internet M&A toolkit and relationships with key buyers.
