Common Questions About Business Brokerage
What does a business broker do?
A business broker acts as your advisor and advocate throughout the transaction. For buyers, we identify opportunities, verify information, and negotiate favorable terms. For sellers, we value your business, market it confidentially, find qualified buyers, and handle negotiations.
How is my business valued?
We use multiple valuation methods including EBITDA/SDE multiples (most common for small businesses), comparable sales analysis, cash flow analysis, and asset-based valuation. The final value considers market conditions, business growth trends, owner dependence, and comparable sales.
How long does buying/selling take?
For buyers: typically 6-9 months from search to closing. For sellers: 3-6 months from listing to closing. Timeline includes search/marketing, due diligence, financing approval, and closing.
Do I have to list my business publicly?
No. We can market your business confidentially using discreet listings with your business identity protected. Qualified buyers see relevant details under NDA. This is often preferable to prevent operational disruption.
What about confidentiality?
Confidentiality is paramount. Buyers sign NDAs before accessing detailed information. We use generic descriptions and protect your identity until a serious offer is received. Staff and customers typically don't know until after closing.
What financing options are available?
Most buyers use a combination: down payment (cash), SBA loans (up to 90% financing), seller financing (owner carries a note), bank loans, or home equity lines. We connect you with specialized lenders who understand acquisitions.
