What Can Business Brokers Do – And, What Can’t They Do?

Business brokers are the professionals who will facilitate the successful sale of your business.  It is important that you understand just what a professional business broker can do – as well as what they can’t.  As your business broker we can help you decide how to price your business and how to structure the sale so it makes sense for everyone – you and the buyer.  We can find the right buyer for your business, work with you and the buyer, every step of the way until the transaction is successfully closed.  We will also help the buyer in all the details of the business buying process.

A business broker is not, however, a magician who can sell an overpriced business.  Most businesses are saleable if priced and structured properly.  You should understand that only the marketplace could determine what a business will sell for.  The amount of the down payment you are willing to accept along with the terms of the seller financing can greatly influence not only the ultimate selling price, but also the success of the sale itself.

Are you thinking about selling your business and have questions about what a business broker will bring to the table? Would you like to know what businesses like yours have recently sold for? Please feel free to leave questions and comments here and we would be happy to help.
