How do I sell my business?
To sell your business, you’ll need to determine its value, prepare financials, find qualified buyers, negotiate terms, and manage legal/closing processes. Working with a business broker can streamline the sale, protect confidentiality, and often result in a higher sale price.
How much is my business worth?
Business value is typically based on a multiple of earnings (SDE or EBITDA), adjusted for industry, growth trends, and risk. A business broker can provide a professional valuation to estimate fair market value and guide pricing strategy.
What does a business broker do?
A business broker helps owners sell their businesses by handling valuation, marketing, buyer screening, negotiations, and closing—all while maintaining confidentiality. They act as a trusted advisor and transaction facilitator.
How long does it take to sell a business?
On average, it takes 6–9 months to sell a small to mid-sized business. Timing depends on market conditions, business type, financials, and buyer financing. Early planning and proper preparation can shorten the timeline.
Do I need a business broker to sell my business?
While you can sell a business on your own, a business broker brings market expertise, buyer networks, negotiation skills, and deal structure knowledge that can improve outcomes and reduce risk.
What documents do I need to sell my business?
To sell your business, you’ll typically need:
