Business Broker Success
Our clients ask us how our team has become so successful and our answer is always underwhelming.
1. We treat people with respect and dignity.
2. We are truth-tellers.
3. We work hard for our clients.
When you see the results that we have had you want to believe that we must have some special secret that separates us from the other business brokers. I do feel that being a female in a male-dominated industry like business brokerage is a huge advantage because of the number of details required to cover in each transaction.
Business Broker Services
If you are considering selling a business, here are 5 things you may want to find in the business brokers that represent you and your business.
1. Find a business broker that is closing a lot of deals. Most business brokers only close 4-5 deals a year on average and if you find someone closing 50+ deals each year, that business broker will have a lot more buyers to potentially purchase your business.
2. Find a business broker that has strong emotional and business intelligence. Every business acquisition has issues along the way. Having a business broker that has weathered many storms and faced many challenges and has the fortitude to get deals done will be a huge advantage for you.
3. Find a business broker that will do the hard work and heavy lifting upfront. Every business acquisition ends up in a period called "due diligence" and it is here that attorneys, accountants, lenders and others will squeeze your business's financials and other nuances.
4. Find a business broker that will tell you the TRUTH about the value of your business. A lot of business brokers will tell you anything just to get your listing. Find a business broker that will tell you the truth!
5. Finding a business broker that is an expert marketer. Ask your business broker to show you all the ways beyond simply listing it on websites that they will use to sell your business. Ask you to view their marketing newsletters, printouts etc.
