What does a broker charge?
In our experience, the much we charge for commercial business sales Burbank depends on a number of things. The main determining factor is the details of the business that we are selling. The cost falls somewhere between 8 and 12 percent of the total sales price. The commission is paid at closing.
The size of your business will significantly determine the percentage we charge. For example, if yours is a multi-million dollar business, the structure of the transaction will most likely be a modified Lehman Formula: 10% paid on the first million, 8% on the second million, 6% on the third million and 4% per million thereafter. Give us a call now and we will help you understand how much you can expect to pay for the sale of your multi-million dollar business. It is also good to note that these rates are negotiable.
Based on the business being sold, an upfront fee can be charged. This ranges from $2,500 to $20,000. The amount of upfront fee you pay will depend on the business being sold, the selling price as well as the business broker in Los Angeles that you are working with. If we require an upfront fee, our business broker will be thorough in explaining why an upfront fee is needed.
