Before You Go To Market
What Bloomington owners should know
- Minnesota taxes capital gains as ordinary income and adds a tax on net investment income above $1 million, so deal structure can change what you keep.
- Minnesota prohibits most employee non-competes, but non-competes tied to the sale of a business are allowed.
- Minnesota’s estate tax exemption is well below the federal level, so coordinate a sale with your estate plan.
- Larger buyers increasingly expect a quality of earnings review, so clean monthly financials pay off.

What Bloomington owners ask
What is my Bloomington business worth?
Value depends on documented earnings, the industry, how much the business relies on you, and what buyers are paying for similar companies right now. A confidential Opinion of Value gives you a realistic range and shows which factors are raising or lowering it.
How do I sell without my employees finding out?
We market the business without naming it, screen every buyer before anything identifying is shared, require signed confidentiality agreements, and handle meetings and site visits discreetly.
Are hospitality businesses near the airport attractive to buyers?
They can be, especially with consistent results and good lease terms. Buyers will study seasonality, occupancy costs and staffing closely.
How long does it take to sell a business in Bloomington?
Most well-prepared businesses take roughly six to twelve months from going to market to closing, with preparation time beforehand.

Trevor was great to work with and did an excellent job guiding us through the sale of our business. As first-time sellers, the process was definitely stressful at times, but Trevor’s attentiveness and steady support made a huge difference.
