Matched with brokers who sell companies like yours
A business broker runs the sale so the owner can keep running the company. The work that decides the price happens before any buyer sees the listing.
Matching costs the owner nothing.
Ask how many companies in your industry and size range they sold in recent years.
Ask where buyers come from and how they are qualified.
Success fee percentage, minimum fee, upfront fee and tail period. Details on business broker fees.
Length of the listing agreement and how you can end it.
Several states require a real estate license or a specific registration to broker business sales; check your state's rules.
Who handles your file day to day and how often you get a report.
Business brokers focus on Main Street companies valued up to a few million dollars, priced on SDE and sold to individual buyers. M&A advisors handle lower mid-market companies, priced on EBITDA and sold to private equity, search funds and strategic buyers, usually through a structured process.
Put your profile on the state and industry pages owners search, publish your listings and receive seller match requests in your area.
Search by city or metro area on business brokers near me.

Usually by a success fee paid by the seller at closing, commonly 8 to 12% on Main Street deals with a minimum fee. Some also charge an upfront marketing fee.
It depends on the state. Some states require a real estate license for business brokerage, others require none, and deals involving securities can require a securities registration. Ask each broker which license they hold.
Brokers confirm their professional details, the states where they hold a license or registration where one is required, and the industries and deal sizes they handle before their profile goes live.
