What to Expect When Working with a Business Broker

If you’ve never sold a business before, the process can feel overwhelming. That’s where working with a business broker comes in. A trusted broker helps simplify the process, protect your interests, and make sure you walk away with the best possible deal.

At Business Exit Advisors, I bring both personal and professional experience to the table, acting as your business advisor, consultant, and liaison from day one. Here’s exactly what you can expect from our partnership.

Step 1: Initial Consultation & Business Evaluation

The first thing we’ll do is talk—about your business, your goals, and your ideal timeline. No pressure, no sales pitch—just a conversation.

✅ We’ll review:

• Your financials and operations
  
  

• Your market position and potential valuation
  
  

• Your personal goals for the exit
  
  

As your business consultant, I’ll give honest, strategic feedback on where you stand and what to expect moving forward.

Step 2: Valuation & Exit Strategy

Next, we’ll calculate a realistic market value using:

• Industry comps
  
  

• Earnings multipliers
  
  

• Buyer behavior trends
  
  

Then we’ll craft a custom exit strategy to position your business to sell at the right time, to the right buyer, for the right price.

Step 3: Preparing Your Business for Market

Before we list anything, we’ll get your business ready to impress:

• Organize financials
  
  

• Highlight strengths and opportunities
  
  

• Create a strong marketing package
  
  

This phase is where many business owners need support—and that’s where a business liaison like me adds real value.

Step 4: Buyer Outreach & Marketing

Using both public and private channels—including my internal buyer network—I’ll market your business confidentially to qualified, serious buyers.

You’ll never have to answer random calls or worry about leaking the sale to employees or competitors.

Step 5: Offers, Negotiations & Closing

I’ll review offers with you, negotiate on your behalf, and work with legal and financial professionals to:

• Structure the deal
  
  

• Handle contingencies
  
  

• Close the sale smoothly and securely
  
  

And yes—I'll stay with you right through the final signature.

While I’m not a lawyer or CPA, I coordinate closely with your professionals to make sure everything is handled correctly. I act as your business liaison throughout.
