Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to sell a business?

Every sale is different. Timing depends on your business’s size, profitability, and how prepared the financials are. I help you get ready up front so the process moves as efficiently as possible.

How do you keep the sale confidential?

Confidentiality is built into every step. Your business is marketed without identifying details, and every buyer signs a non-disclosure agreement and proves they are financially qualified before they ever learn who you are.

What does it cost to work with a broker?

I work on a success-fee basis with no upfront fees. You pay when your business sells, not before.

How do you decide what my business is worth?

I start with a confidential valuation that looks at your financials, cash flow, assets, and comparable sales in your market. That sets a realistic, defensible asking price.
