Free Consultation
Tell us about your business and we'll connect you with a licensed broker who analyzes your financials, industry multiples, and market conditions to determine what it's worth.
Market Your Business
Your broker lists your business to qualified, pre-screened buyers through a national network while keeping your identity completely confidential.
Close the Deal
Your broker manages negotiations, due diligence, and paperwork from accepted offer through ownership transfer. You focus on running your business.
Broker-Assisted vs. Selling on Your Own
The numbers tell the story. Businesses sold with a broker close faster, sell for more, and actually close.
With a Broker
- 15–20% higher sale price on average
- 6–9 months average time to close
- Access to pre-qualified buyer network
- Complete confidentiality maintained
- Broker fee paid only at closing
Selling on Your Own
- ~80% of FSBO listings never sell
- 12–24 months on the market
- Limited to your personal network
- Risk of employees and competitors finding out
- You handle legal, tax, and negotiation alone

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to sell a business?
Most businesses sell within 6 to 12 months from the time they go to market. The timeline depends on your industry, asking price, financial documentation, and market conditions. Businesses with clean books and steady revenue tend to sell faster.
How do I know what my business is worth?
Business valuation typically starts with your Seller's Discretionary Earnings (SDE) — your net profit plus owner compensation. This is multiplied by an industry-specific multiple, usually between 2x and 4x. Our free calculator gives you an instant estimate based on real market data.
Will my employees and customers find out I'm selling?
Confidentiality is critical. A professional broker uses blind listings, NDAs, and careful buyer screening to protect your identity. Employees, customers, and competitors should not learn about the sale until after closing — or when you decide the time is right.
Do I need a broker, or can I sell on my own?
You can sell on your own, but businesses listed with brokers sell for 10–15% more on average and close faster. A broker handles valuation, marketing, buyer screening, negotiation, and closing — freeing you to keep running your business during the process.
What does a business broker charge?
Most brokers work on a success-fee basis — typically around 12% of the final sale price. You pay nothing upfront and nothing if the business doesn't sell. The fee is earned at closing and comes out of the sale proceeds.
Can I sell my business if I still have a loan on it?
Yes. Outstanding loans are typically paid off at closing using proceeds from the sale. Your broker and attorney will coordinate payoffs with your lender as part of the closing process. This is very common and does not prevent a sale.
Will I need to stay involved after the sale?
Most buyers request a transition period of 30 to 90 days where you help introduce them to key relationships, systems, and operations. Some deals include a 6–12 month consulting arrangement. The terms are negotiated as part of the sale.
When is the best time to sell?
The best time to sell is when your business is performing well — ideally after 3 to 5 years of consistent or growing revenue. Selling from a position of strength gives you leverage in negotiations and attracts higher-quality buyers.
