Business Broker — Finance & Deal Structuring
Brad Van Amberg reads a business the way an auditor reads a balance sheet — because that's exactly where he started.

BRAD VAN AMBERG — BUSINESS BROKER
About Brad
Financial fluency, built over three careers.
Brad Van Amberg brings a rare combination of financial and real estate expertise to business brokerage. With a B.S. in Accounting and an early career as an auditor at Haskins & Sells (now Deloitte), followed by years as a Corporate Controller, he reads financial statements fluently.
A former mortgage branch manager and owner of Van Amberg Realty, Brad understands valuation, financing, and what makes a business worth buying. At Cardin Business Brokers, he applies that background to representing buyers and sellers of businesses generally valued between $500K and $50M, with a particular focus on the financial and deal-structuring side of each transaction.

Why It Matters To You
What Brad's background means for your deal.
Numbers that hold up
An auditor's eye means financial statements get read carefully — not taken at face value — before a valuation or offer is built on them.
Financing that actually closes
Former mortgage branch management experience means deal structures account for how financing really gets approved, not just how it looks on paper.
An owner's perspective
Having owned and run a business himself, Brad approaches each engagement understanding what's actually at stake for the person on the other side of the deal.
Services
