What Makes Working with a Business Broker a Great Idea?

A business broker San Diego is a professional who is involved in the sale of businesses. Business brokers have various specialties with most focusing on businesses in specific industries. If you are thinking about hiring a business broker to help with the sale of your business, it will be great to first understand the advantages the broker will bring to the table.

Confidentiality
The main advantage of working with business brokers San Diego is being able to maintain confidentiality throughout the sale. When selling on your own, people will always associate you with your company. That makes confidentiality management very hard. Working with a broker, on the other hand, makes confidentiality management easier. The broker has sold many businesses before and will have strategies in place to help with confidentiality management.

Business continuity
Selling a business can be both hard and time consuming. There is a lot to be done right from the paperwork to marketing to meeting with the clients and then some. Working with a business broker ensures that you get the load off your plate and comfortably focus on the sale of your business. You will be able to focus on the smooth running of your business while your company is being sold by a competent third party.

Reach more potential buyers
The full time job of a business broker San Diego is to sell businesses. This means he has a great professional network that will help you find the best buyers with ease. The broker will use the best marketing channels, work with clients already in his contacts and also liaise with other brokers to speed up the sale. What is even better is the fact that the broker will help you present the business in the best light possible thus helping you maximize the sale price. He also understands the main values that buyers are looking for and will help identify changes that can lead to a better selling price.

Free business valuation
Business valuation costs money when using a business appraiser. This is not the case when your business broker offers business valuation as a service. He will help you know how much your business is worth and the much it can fetch on the current market.

Balance of experience
Most business brokers have helped sell many businesses. Some brokerage firms are also made up of several brokers with a collected experience of up to 50 years and more. They know what needs to be done to get the desired results. Experienced brokers will help navigate challenges and help close the deal in less time.

What Client’s Say

We Couldn’t Be Happier

"When we thought about selling we had no idea what our business was worth or how to go about selling. What you were able to do was to cut through the fog so that we understood the valuation issue and had a comfort level with the process. As you know we ended up selling for somewhat more than the original valuation and we got all cash and our CPA loved the way our tax liability was minimized. We couldn’t be happier!"

Over $250,000 More

"Our first contact with you shocked us when you suggested that we wait 18 months before selling because you believed that if we hit our projections that the value would be significantly greater. As it turned out we not only followed your advice but also got slightly over $250,000 more than we originally had hoped for. It is seldom that we have had the opportunity to deal with a firm that doesn’t want both money and a commitment NOW. It was clear and obvious that you had our best interests at heart."

You Got the Valuation We Agreed On

"You did a great job on the sale of our business in really beating the bushes for buyers, including a UK company that was an active suitor. You managed to get the valuation that we had all agreed upon and got it substantially all in cash and got the transaction closed with little to no problems or expensive lawyers involved."

Thank You for Handling Our Business

"Our business was smaller than what your firm normally handles but it was a BIG part of our net worth and savings. Thank you for handling our business and we were very pleased and delighted with the results."

More Than Anticipated

"Our transaction was involved as we had different corporate entities located in different states. Our only regret is that we didn’t retain your services before 2012 when we paid $25,000 to a firm in Texas that did a valuation and market analysis for us before then failing to do anything in the way of trying to sell our business. You got it sold for more than anticipated."
