The face of business is changing. Many owners of privately held businesses are thinking of selling their existing business, while new entrepreneurs are coming to the forefront, seeking entry into business ownership of their own. Offering advisory services in all phases of the business buying/selling process, the new office of VR Business Brokers of Fort Worth/Arlington is now open at

2019 East Lamar Blvd., Suite 200, Arlington, TX 76006.

Known as the innovative leader in the sale of privately held companies, VR was founded 30 years ago with the objective of providing the highest level of professionalism and service to small and middle market sized businesses. VR Business Brokers of Fort Worth/Arlington offers privately held businesses, valued from $25,000 up to $20 million, advisory services including exit strategy planning, initial valuation, market analysis, packaging and marketing of the business opportunity, qualification of prospective purchasers, negotiation, facilitation of due diligence and post closing transition planning.

Managing Director Raj Croager applies his diverse management, technology and operational experience to meet the needs of business buyers and sellers alike. He has a strong and diverse background in management, with over 20 years of experience in the franchise industry. Prior to opening VR Business Brokers of Fort Worth/Arlington, he served as Vice President and Chief Information Officer with sign and graphics franchisor, FASTSIGNS International, Inc.

“My experience as both a franchisor and a franchisee, allows me to provide valuable knowledge and insight to those seeking to buy or sell their businesses,” says Croager. “Especially in today’s turbulent employment market, we are seeing a greater movement towards the ownership of small business. Many potential purchasers are unaware of the multitude of opportunities and financing options available.”


The VR Business Brokers team brings decades of experience to each transaction, partnering with clients and their outside professional advisors to offer practical, market-driven advice. The Fort Worth/Arlington office opened with two business intermediaries, who collectively have 40 years experience in business transactions.

Many business buyers and sellers are unfamiliar with the complicated process of buying or selling a business; therefore, Croager feels that enlisting the assistance of knowledgeable professionals to help guide them through the process is essential. “Choosing to buy or sell a company is one of the most important business decisions you will ever make,” he says. “Selecting the right partner to guide you through the process is equally as important as it can impact both the price you pay or receive for the business as well as the potential liabilities on both sides of the deal.”


Croager is a member of the International Business Brokers Association (IBBA), the American Society of Appraisers (ASA), the Institute of Business Appraisers (IBA) and holds a Certified Franchise Executive (CFE) designation. VR Business Brokers of Fort Worth/Arlington is a member of the Arlington Chamber of Commerce and is accredited by the Better Business Bureau (BBB).
