We had the good fortune of connecting with Sean Seaman at SD Business Advisors and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Sean, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
My business partner Dustin Sigall and I have known each other since middle school and have always had that entrepreneur mindset. We ran multiple surf camps as well as a successful house painting business during our college years and always knew we wanted to one day start our own Company. After graduating college and getting recruited as Financial Advisors we quickly began pondering our next chapter. In late 2006 we had the opportunity to become business brokers and work with a very underserved small business community. After selling over 200 businesses personally we made the decision to create our own brand, SD Business Advisors. Along with 15 other Business Advisors our team is now the largest in San Diego with over 600 businesses sold.

What should our readers know about your business?

Whether you’re considering retirement or simply wishing to embark on your next chapter, we are here to help ensure a smooth transition. Our experienced team has sold over 600 businesses nationwide since 2007, totaling hundreds of millions in transactions. We are experts in business valuation, marketing, facilitating negotiations, and the many delicate aspects of a business transaction. We have a wide range of industry specialists who focus on maintaining confidentiality while maximizing the value of your business. We are the business selling experts.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
As an avid surfer I am a bit biased to coastal San Diego, but I would send them to the Lodge at Torrey Pines hotel for a good meal and amazing views followed by a walk through the Torrey Pines Reserve and finish up on the beach to soak in the San Diego sun.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I want to thank my wife and kids for their unwavering support over the years.  Also, a huge shoutout to our entire team of Advisors for trusting Dustin and I with our vision for SD Business Advisors.  We are very excited to see what the future holds!
