California opportunity searches, buyer representation, brokerage attribution, and transaction planning.

Information current as of August 1, 2026

QUESTION 01

Whom does Alexey represent in a California transaction?

In California, Alexey works through Pellego, Inc. as the agent of either the seller or the buyer identified in the written agency and representation documents, and acts in that client’s interests subject to California law. A business advertised by another brokerage remains that brokerage’s listing. Agency, duties, compensation, and any required disclosures must be confirmed in writing for the specific transaction.

QUESTION 02

Can a California search cover different industries and budgets?

Yes. California has thousands of business opportunities spanning owner-operated companies and larger acquisitions. A useful search defines geography, industry, budget, cash flow, management expectations, financing, and timing. Buyers considering relocation or immigration planning should coordinate independent professional advice early in the process.

QUESTION 03

Are business and real-estate components handled together?

Some acquisitions include a lease assignment, a new lease, or owned real estate; others transfer only specified business assets. The structure affects valuation, financing, diligence, licensing, escrow, and professional review. The business and real-estate components must be identified clearly, and appropriate licensed and legal professionals should address their respective areas.
