Research Business Brokers In Your Area

• A business broker is a professional who can help
  you sell your business or find your next business
  if youre looking to buy. With a little bit of
  research, youll be able to determine which
  brokers in your area are trustworthy and
  experienced. Not all brokers are created
  equalmake sure you choose wisely when choosing
  an intermediary for these two important business
  transactions.
• When researching business brokers, pay attention
  to their experience, what other clients have said
  about them (you can check their client reviews
  online), and ask around among colleagues or
  acquaintances to see if anyone has
  recommendations. Its also crucial that business
  brokers be up-to-date on their licensesin most
  states, they need a real estate license as well
  as additional government licenses specific to
  different types of businesses.

Ask For Referrals From Successful Clients
6

• If youre working with an experienced business
  broker, they should have past clients they can
  refer you to. Talk with these people and ask them
  what their experience was like
• How long did it take for them to find a buyer for
  their business?
• How much of their time did it take up?
• Would they use that broker again?
• What advice would they give someone else trying
  to sell a business through that agency? (Stay
  away from negative people most business brokers
  are good at what they do.)
• A business broker is paid by both sides in a
  transactionso although theyll help facilitate
  deals when needed, they dont care who buys your
  company.

Review Business Broker Websites

• If youre seriously considering hiring a business
  broker, chances are youll want to check out some
  of their websites before you commit. Pay
  attention to how they present themselves and make
  sure theyre professional, transparent, and
  trustworthy. While there is no industry-wide
  standard for business brokers any person or
  company can claim they are a business broker
  reputable ones will clearly state what services
  they offer and disclose their fee structure
  upfront.

Check For Better Business Bureau Ratings
8

• Because not all business brokers are created
  equal, you must do your homework before hiring
  one. Look for a business broker with great
  reviews on sites like Yelp or Google Places, or
  check their Better Business Bureau ratings for
  any problems in their past.
• If they have complaints, move on if they dont,
  then you can breathe easy and feel confident in
  your choice. Your goal should be to hire someone
  who represents both your best interests as well
  as those of the seller. They should be able to
  negotiate both sides effectively while keeping
  things professional. This way, you know youre
  going into negotiations from a place of strength
  and fairness.
