Frequently Asked Questions for Selling Your Business

Why use a BBG Business Broker?
The reason our clients experience such a high degree of success is our experienced team, proven systems, strong buyer and lender relationships, and expertise in presenting financially sound deals.

How much is my business worth?

Our business brokers work closely with business owners to value their business through an Opinion of Value. We offer a complimentary Opinion of Value to any business within our target market and for a reasonable fee to those outside our target market.

How do you maintain confidentiality?

Each of our employees, in whatever capacity they serve, have signed and agreed to abide by confidentiality agreements as a condition of their continued employment. In addition, buyers sign non-disclosure agreements as part of qualification process. Our marketing process is designed to advertise your business and attract buyers without revealing your identity or location until the buyer has been qualified.

What happens after I get a qualified Buyer?

The BBG team will conduct the initial conversations and schedule meetings with you to meet interested Buyers. Tours of your business are scheduled with your approval and at a time convenient for you.

What are Buyers looking for?

For those business owners that decide to list their business with BBG's business brokerage we provide “Seller Insights Coaching” to ensure that you understand the buyers' point of view, and prepare yourself and your business to successfully move through the selling process and realize maximum value from your business.

How are the offers negotiated?

Your business broker will facilitate all Buyer negotiations. Our goal is to minimize disruption of your daily business operations and support you in evaluating offers from buyers. Once you accept an offer from a buyer, our team goes to work to move the deal through the due diligence process and to the closing table.
