What is this new “Get Matched with a Broker” program?
BizBuySell has launched a new service to match business owners looking to sell their business with up to three business brokers who best match the seller’s business.
How does this program work?
As a seller, you will provide anonymous information about your business, including zip code, industry, and financials that will be compared against similar information from business brokers. You will then be matched with up to three brokers who fit your business profile and given the ability to message them through the website.
Why should I consider using a business broker?
A business broker is a professional who facilitates the buying and selling of businesses, assisting clients in navigating the complex transaction process. Working with a business broker offers many benefits. Brokers bring expertise, market knowledge, and connections to help facilitate a smooth transaction. They can accurately assess the value of a business, screen prospective buyers while maintaining the confidentiality of your sale, handle negotiations, and save you time and resources while you continue to focus on running your business. With a broker’s guidance, you can navigate the complex process more smoothly and increase your chances of a successful outcome.
What should I look for in a business broker?
When selecting a business broker, you should consider factors such as their experience, training and credentials, industry-specific knowledge, professionalism, timely communication, and the services they provide to support the sales process. Like hiring any professional, do your due diligence. BizBuySell does not endorse any professional or guarantee their services.
Will my contact information remain anonymous?
Yes, your name, email, and phone number will all remain anonymous to your broker matches until you decide to share it with them. You may message your matched brokers through the website, and when ready, share your contact information to enable a phone conversation.
What happens after I am matched? Where do I access my match?
You can view the brokers you have been matched to within your BizBuySell account on the My Business page at any time. Read more about each broker and send them a message to begin your conversation.
Can I ask for a new broker?
We will already match you with up to three brokers for you based on your business details; therefore, we cannot rematch you with new brokers after you have already received your matches. If you are still searching, you can explore the broker directory to find additional brokers.
Does it cost anything to use this program?
No! This is a free service to help connect owners with the business brokers who best match your business. Please note that business brokers do charge a fee to sell your business.
Do these brokers work for BizBuySell? Does BizBuySell earn a commission when my business sells?
No, the brokers on BizBuySell are independent professionals who are subscribers and use BizBuySell to market their services and the business listings they represent. They are not employed by BizBuySell. BizBuySell is not involved in the transactions or brokering of businesses and does not receive any commissions for sold businesses. BizBuySell charges advertising fees to brokers to market their services and listings.
