As a SBA lender, I have had the opportunity to work directly with Brian to provide financing on several of his listings. Brian is highly knowledgeable and experienced in this industry, and demonstrates great partnership with all parties involved in a particular transaction. He ensures communication is occurring throughout the process and is always timely to return a call or email. Brian protrudes a can-do attitude, sound ethics, and is a strong advocate of his clients. Finally, Brian is skilled in his understanding of financial statements and financial analysis, which in turn leads to a listing that is priced fairly and is able to be bank financed via a SBA loan.Donald J DietrichSenior SBA Product Specialist
I have known Brian for over 5 years and dealing with him is easy because he knows what he is doing. He handles the parties professionally and is able to communicate effectively so that all parties understand what the process is in buyer and selling of businesses and/or real estate. When there is an issue, he doesnt dodge it, but rather he handles it straight on. What makes him effective is that he knows what he is doing as opposed to other brokers/ salespersons who are not sure what to do or how to do it.
Brian Stephens is top notch. I am self employed, venturing in to the world of business ownership, of which I have little to no experience. So it mattered to me that he was able to break down the businessy stuff in to terms I could comprehend.Brian is not only professional, he is kind. He gives you the sense he genuinely cares about you and your business aspirations. He makes himself available by email, calls, or text. I would 100% recommend his services. 2 thumbs up
Ive been associated with Brian Stephens for about twenty years now both as a business associate as well as a friend. He started out with us back then as an ambitious young new franchisee of our 85 office chain of business brokerage offices. He has, over the years, become one of the premier business brokers in the United States. Words Id use to describe him are: Integrity, Ambitious, Professional, Driven and Personable. I wouldnt hesitate to highly recommend Brian and his team at Legacy Venture Group.
Brian and Legacy were an incredibly valuable resource for me. He was hands-on involved all the way and was very responsive whenever I had a question. When I had a request, he pursued it like it was his own deal and worked hard to make things happen. I highly recommend Brian and Legacy Venture Group.

Brian Stephens Of Legacy Venture Group is a great resource whether you are buying or selling a business. He always has new businesses in his listings and was very responsive to my clients that listed their businesses with him. I highly recommend.
I inquired about a business online and received a call from Bill Blair. First thing he tells me is I can’t see or discuss any financial information without making an official binding offer on the business. This is a ridiculous demand to make without knowing ANYTHING about the business. He than went on to argue with me and said I was “just a tire kicker” and trying to get access to sensitive information. He was very incompetent, combative, and rude on the phone right from the beginning. I would avoid using him as a buyer OR seller of a business.
Excellent and knowledgeable broker. Showed me a number of opportunities and was very helpful working through the SBA loan process. Highly recommend Brian.
I have known Brian Stephens for about 15 years and have always known him to be informed, professional and committed to offer the best possible service. He is someone I refer when people are looking to have their companies valued.
