James Marlar founded Intersect Solutions, LLC (now Hallmark Business Group) in 2003 because of his interest in business brokering.  His 30-year career in the IT industry ended when he was chosen as part of the management team that prepared and managed the sale of a major division of Protective Life Insurance company.  As Assistant Vice President managing the IT resources for the Division he worked with the other managers to bring about a successful transfer valued at $300,000,000.   

After owning and completing the project to migrate the IT services to the acquiring company, James left to form Intersect Solutions (now Hallmark Business Group) and joined Business Brokers Network (BBN) as an affiliate broker. James now works with local Birmingham Business Owners to help them with their business valuations and transition plans. He has participated in numerous training programs and conferences sponsored by BBN. Through BBN, James has earned the designations of Business Transfer Specialist (STS) and Financial Recasting Consultant (FRC). He participates in the local Birmingham Regional Chamber of Commerce, is a member of the Better Business Bureau and has earned his Alabama Real Estate Salesman’s License.

Hallmark Business Group brings VALUE to a client in the following ways:

• Hallmark Business Group has used the connection to and affiliation with the Business Brokers Network as a way to share listings and buyers with hundreds of network brokers across the US. Now your business can easily be marketed nationally rather than relying on local or regional relationships.
• Other nationally known web sites used by HBG expose our client listings to millions of buyers looking for investments, acquisitions, and mergers.
• The speed of the Internet is used to quickly make contacts, evaluate buyers through financial profiles and Confidentiality Agreements completed and returned electronically. Then a listing’s full details can be shared from professional documentation prepared and shipped via e-mail.

• Hallmark Business Group has established relationships with many professionals in the business community to increase sources of legal, accounting, and financial help for its clients.
• The power of the BBN network moves our relationships to national level rather than just local connections. Expertise of hundreds of brokers across the US is now open and available to share with our clients.

• The seasoned experts of BBN Affiliate Services include professionals at the pinnacle of their career. Their knowledge and advice is a phone call or e-mail away. Hallmark Business Group participates in at least two training seminars yearly to advance our knowledge and keep current with trends in the industry.
• Hallmark Business Group’s 30 plus years of work experience includes years spent with companies in the top 100 worldwide and small companies with less than 10 employees. Working with both local employees and international contractors has given HBG an insight into a business owner’s employee relationships, budget management, and competitive struggles.
• Hallmark Business Group is quickly gaining knowledge and experience in the acquisitions industry as listings are professionally acquired, consistently marketed, and successfully closed.
