Richard Parker is the founder of Diomo Corporation and author of How To Buy A Good Retail Business At A Great Price©.
He has been featured in The New York Times, Entrepreneur Magazine, The Street.com and was an Inc. Magazine Entrepreneur of the Year nominee.
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).
Mr. Parker has personally purchased ten businesses during his career and built several others from start-up. The information in his programs is based on real-life, hands on experiences. He has provided consultation to thousands of prospective business buyers who have used his materials, attended his seminars, followed his guidance and expertise to learn precisely how to find and buy good retail businesses.
"It has taken a lot of time, effort and some painful experiences to develop the tried-and-true formulas that immediately identify a good retail business. Good businesses run by the wrong people quickly turn sour and that's why so much of our material is devoted to helping each client identify the right retail business to buy.
I can't even begin to tell you how much I enjoy what I do for a living. I am very lucky - I can't wait to start each work day. 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 to someone who has never experienced it. That is exactly what we will help you achieve.
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. I promise that I will do everything in my power to put you into the business of your dreams.
Since most people who begin to look to buy a business have never bought one before, nearly everything that they will encounter is new. Buying a business is a serious decision; therefore, understanding the process and knowing what to do is, unquestionably, the key to success.
The most rewarding aspect of my career is that I am involved in a business that is able to help so many people literally around the world. The greatest satisfaction I get is when one of our clients tells us how their lives have been changed by the techniques they learned through our training programs. If you are serious about being self-employed then learn the right way to do it. How To Buy A Good Retail Business At A Great Price©" will teach you everything you need to know!"

Diomo Corporation - The Business Buyer Resource Center - began in 1990. From humble beginnings, Diomo built its revenue base from zero sales to over $30 million by purchasing several existing businesses and adding them to the Diomo group.
As the company's success in buying small businesses grew, it began to offer buyer advisory services. What began as a sideline grew to enormous proportions and far beyond its expectations.
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.
With the advent of the Internet, the company consolidated its small business-buying consultation business and compiled all of its years of experience and hundreds of small business acquisitions into a home study course allowing its distribution to reach people around the world. Currently, Diomo's products are being used in over 80 countries!
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 of their money back at any time if they're not completely satisfied.
If these programs did not meet the 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.
Business buyers are an interesting group. All are eager to be in their own business but most do not realize or anticipate the challenges that they will face. Diomo has always believed that its job is to "open their eyes" to the process and provide them with a proven systematic approach so that they will understand what to do at each stage of this fascinating, yet difficult, process.
Diomo's program is geared to individuals who do not have the benefit of having made any prior retail business purchases. Therefore, generally start out lacking the foundation on which to draw upon past experience. With our step-by-step guide and easy-to-follow systems, you will understand the approach you should be taking and you will gain clarity of the issues you will face. You will be equipped with all of the necessary skills, and coupled with our ongoing consulting - you will make all the right key decisions along the way.
