Why a local business broker matters

01

Lease and landlord.

Local brokers know which landlords approve assignments and how long it takes.

02

Licensing.

Liquor, health, contractor and fuel permits follow state and county rules a local broker handles every month.

03

Lenders.

SBA lenders in your region and their appetite for your industry.

04

Buyers.

Owner-operators who want to live where the company is.

05

Valuation.

Rents, wages and competition differ by metro area, and so do multiples.

Questions to ask local business brokers before you sign

Compare the answers side by side. More about fees on business broker fees.

  1. 1 How many companies in my industry and price range did you sell in the last three years?
  2. 2 How do you reach and qualify buyers?
  3. 3 What is your success fee, minimum fee and tail period?
  4. 4 How long is the listing agreement and how can I end it?
  5. 5 Who will handle my file day to day?
  6. 6 Which license or registration do you hold in this state?

Get matched instead of cold calling

Value your company, then ask for a match. We send your request with the valuation attached to brokers who work your area, industry and deal size, and you decide whom to talk to.

Local brokers, put your profile where owners search

Your profile appears on your state and industry pages, and seller match requests in your area come to your inbox. See business broker software.

How do I find a good business broker near me

Search by your metro area and industry, shortlist two or three brokers with recent deals of your size, and compare fees, buyer reach and the length of the listing agreement.

Should my broker be in my city

It helps for local service and retail companies, where buyers and landlords are local. For online companies and larger deals, industry experience matters more than distance.

What does a business broker near me cost

Most Main Street brokers charge a success fee of 8 to 12% at closing, often with a minimum fee. The owner pays nothing to CompanyBrokers for a match.
