FAQs

What does a business broker do?

A business broker assists in buying and selling businesses by providing valuation, marketing, negotiation, and settlement services.

We conduct a comprehensive business valuation based on financial performance, industry trends, market demand, and comparable sales. Our licensed brokers use real-time market data to ensure a competitive and accurate valuation.

The timeline varies based on business type, industry demand, and buyer interest. On average, selling a business takes 3–9 months, while buying can depend on due diligence and financing approval.

We broker sales across a wide range of industries, including hospitality, retail, professional services, healthcare, construction, and franchising, with access to both listed and off-market opportunities.
