About hiring a business broker
What does a business broker do?
A business broker manages the sale process end-to-end: valuing the business, preparing marketing materials, finding and vetting buyers, negotiating terms, and coordinating due diligence. Brokers typically charge 8–12% of the sale price, paid at closing.
Should I hire a broker or sell directly?
Brokers bring buyer access, transaction experience, and confidentiality — critical for businesses with employees and customers. Direct sales work for simple asset sales or owner-to-buyer introductions. Most businesses selling for $500K+ benefit from a broker.
How do I know if a broker is reputable?
Look for IBBA (International Business Brokers Association) membership, a track record of closed deals in your industry and revenue range, and verifiable references. Avoid brokers who ask for large upfront fees or guarantee a specific sale price.
What's the difference between a business broker and an M&A advisor?
Business brokers typically handle deals under $10M (SDE-based valuation). M&A advisors work on larger transactions with institutional buyers, strategic buyers, and private equity. Businesses with $5M+ revenue or complex structures often benefit from an M&A advisor.
