Richard Parker is the founder of Diomo Corporation – The Business Buyer resource Center™ and author of the How To Buy A Good Business At A Great Price© series. He has purchased thirteen of his own businesses and has been an advisor and broker to small business buyers and sellers for over three decades.
He has written and been featured in more than 300 articles on the subject of buying businesses in The New York Times, Entrepreneur Magazine, The Street.com. He is also a weekly contributor to Forbes Magazine. Richard was recently nominated for Inc. Magazine’s ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’ award.
Richard’s fascination with getting others involved in businesses started at a young age when he recruited seven neighborhood children as paper carriers and then successfully approached the local Sunday paper to grant him a master route with the idea of letting them solicit home delivery where there was none previously (sub-contracting the other kids and taking a percentage of their business, of course) and so a career was born. The businesses have changed in 30 plus years, but his excitement remains.
