About
Tim Carter is a business broker of the well-known Praxis Business Brokers business brokerage company who helps people sell their business in MI and nearest regions. After graduating from Western Michigan University with a bachelor’s degree in business administration with emphasis in management and accounting, Mr. Carter embarked on a lengthy career in automotive manufacturing, working in management level positions in the areas of materials, logistics, purchasing, and information technology. Mr. Carter was active in and earned certifications in production and inventory management through APICS, the Associations for Operations Management. After more than two decades working for large, tier one automotive suppliers, the entrepreneurial bug bit Mr. Carter and he left big business to buy and manage his own main street businesses. Mr. Carter found that he enjoyed the buying and selling of these businesses and as a result migrated to business brokerage as a career choice. Mr. Carter is a licensed real estate agent and a business intermediary whose primary focus is the sale of “Main Street” businesses and smaller mid-market businesses; i.e. businesses with annual gross sales from $250,000 to high seven figures. As Mr. Carter has “walked in the shoes” of both buyers and sellers, he brings his extensive experience to the process of facilitating the sale of a business and to the creation deal terms that achieve the objectives of both buyers and sellers. Mr. Carter strongly believes that “an important aspect of the sale of a business is the relationship between the buyer and the seller, as there is usually a significant transfer of knowledge that takes place during the transition of ownership. One of my roles as a business intermediary is to foster that relationship to insure that the buyer and seller develop a working relationship in addition to understanding all of the aspects of the business transaction.”
