When you’re considering working with a business broker, knowing about up their upfront fees and commissions is important.

5 Things To Know Before Selling A Business
What Is Your Business Worth?
How Can You Protect Your Confidentiality When You Put The Business On The Market?
Not quite sure? Discuss your specific situation & business with one of our professional Advisors / Brokers. Conversations are 100% confidential with no required obligations.
Keeping your personal and business identity confidential is imperative to ensuring a smooth sales transaction—but some brokers will send your sensitive financial information and other materials to anyone who requests them, without vetting them to ensure they’re a serious buyer. It’s crucial you choose a business broker who makes your confidentiality their top priority.
What’s The Process Of Selling A Business?
Selling a business typically doesn’t happen overnight; instead, it takes time. What process will the business broker be following to sell your business, and does that process have a proven track record? Work with a business broker who fully explains how their process works and is there throughout the process to answer any questions that arise.
Who Will Buy My Business?
Depending on the type of business you have, its size and its value, anyone from an individual owner/operator to a financial buyer, a strategic buyer, or even a private equity firm may be interested. Insist on partnering with a business broker who has experience working with the types of buyers your business is most likely to attract.
