Top 5 reasons to use a business broker

to sell your business

With John Geiwitz

1. BUSINESS BROKERS Know The Market And Have Access To A Database Of Active Buyers—Owner-Operators, Financial Buyers And Strategic Acquirers—looking For Businesses.

2. BUSINESS BROKERS Save Time By

Prequalifying Prospective Buyers’ Resources And Potential For Assuming Your Business, Eliminating “Tire Kickers.”

Making sure that confidentiality is always the top priority.

3. A good

business broker knows how to evaluate a business fully, separating out the operational, organizational and financial factors that can move the business up the value chain.

4. A Business Broker Will Apply Selling And Negotiation Skills To Find Solutions That Achieve Goals Of Both Buyer And Seller.

5. Minimize risk: the lower the perceived risk to a buyer, the more a buyer can afford to pay and the more a seller will receive.
