“The most rewarding aspect of my career is that I am involved in a business that helps so many people around the world. The greatest satisfaction I get is when one of our clients tells us how their lives have been changed by following the techniques they learned in our training programs and the personal advice we provide.”

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 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, Florida investor, The Sun-Sentinel, Fox News and many others. He is also a regular contributor to Forbes Magazine.

Born in Canada in 1961, and based in Florida since 1996, Mr. Parker has been a business ‘junkie”’ since childhood, owning his first business at 12 and selling it profitably at 13 (this remains his favorite business story).
Diomo Corporation – The Business Buyer Resource Center™ – began in 1990. From humble beginnings, Diomo built its annual revenue to more than $30 million by purchasing several existing businesses and adding them to the Diomo group. Diomo’s business buyer publishing and consulting services business have helped over 100,000 people buy a wide range of businesses in more than 80 countries. Diomo’s head office has been located in South Florida since 1996 under Florida Corporation # P96000099725. The company began in Canada, with incorporation under The Canada Business Corporation Act by Articles of Incorporation, dated January 11, 1990, corporation number 00256331-2.
The company’s success is due solely to the effectiveness of its products. Richard Parker, the company’s founder, has always believed any business should only offer products that are of such superior quality that anyone who buys them should have the ability to get all their money back at any time. Diomo has offered this guarantee in all of the 13 companies it has directly acquired. If our programs did not exceed our customer’s expectations, or if the results achieved were anything less than phenomenal, Diomo would not have been able to survive, let alone thrive, for over a decade.
I can’t even begin to tell you how much I enjoy what I do for a living. That’s the beauty of owning a good business; it overtakes you in a way that is so incredible it’s nearly impossible to explain it to someone who has never experienced it.
You will soon understand my enthusiasm after you begin to follow our program, and we get to know each other. I am always available to help you, and I will do everything in my power to put you into the business of your dreams.
Since most people have never bought a business, nearly everything that they will encounter is new. Buying a business is a serious decision and so understanding the proper steps of the process and specifically what to do at each stage is unquestionably the key to your success.
I have had some wonderful successes and a few dismal failures. It’s amazing what failures can teach you if you look at them as learning opportunities. It has taken a lot of time, effort, and some painful experiences to develop the tried-and-true strategies that identify a good business. Most importantly is knowing with certainty what exact business is ideal for each individual and which ones to avoid.
Good businesses run by the wrong people quickly turn sour and that’s why so much of our material is devoted to helping everyone identify the type of business that’s right for them.
If you’re serious about being self-employed then learn the right way to do it. How To Buy A Good Business At A Great Price© will teach you everything that you need to know and our personal consulting program will guide you at every step.
