National Business Brokerage Announces Affiliation with B.A. Rigby & Associates Auction Company

July 9, 2009 - PRLog -- Little Rock, AR, - National Business Brokerage, Inc is pleased to announce its affiliation with Missouri auction company, B.A. Rigby & Associates.  National Business Brokerage is a full service business brokerage firm that specializes in the buying and selling of alternative fuels companies.  The firm is owned by Wayne Lee, a recognized biodiesel consultant, who leads National’s alternative fuels division.  “We have come across many instances where an auction would be the best scenario in either buying or selling an alternative fuels plant” said Lee.  “Many people think auctions are for those properties that are distressed or are needing a quick sale which is absolutely incorrect” said Lee.  “While an auction certainly can produce a much quicker sale, they are also great for situations where a seller wants to guarantee a sale on a date certain, and does not want to set a maximum on what the property might bring” Lee noted. “Because of the vast amount of advertising and the captive audience, auctions often produce more buyers who then have to bid against each other – thus bringing more money to the seller than an outright sale would have brought” said Lee.

Brian Rigby, owner of B.A. Rigby & Associates has been in the auction business for over thirty years.  “We have conducted millions of dollars worth of auctions over three decades” said Rigby, “and having the opportunity to be associated with a quality brokerage company involved in the alternative fuels industry was just too good to pass up”.  “This affiliation now gives us the opportunity to market for sale through normal brokerage avenues, or to assist in those situations where auctions are more appropriate, or even to combine auction with brokerage” said Rigby.  “This is a really an innovative concept and I know of no other auction company or business brokerage firms nationwide that can offer this to their clients”

National Business Brokerage recently announced its affiliation with Exit Real Deaton Group of Little Rock, Arkansas, and Lee notes that combining business sale capabilities with auction capabilities and having access to Exit Realty’s 53,000 agents, makes the combination a formidable competitor in the industry.  “The current environment has produced quite a few inquiries from groups interested in buying or selling biodiesel plants” said Lee.  “Like many industries that have undergone difficult times, we have quite a few contacts from plants wanting to sell. And, with oil prices rising again, government mandates, and new feedstocks such as algae and jatropha starting to really move, I think the sophisticated investors are seeing a real future in alternative fuels” Lee said.  “Two things are certain” notes Lee.  “Oil supply is limited, and people are tired of their lives being affected by wildly fluctuating petroleum prices.  We are now positioned to respond in any capacity they need”.
