About Better Business Brokers

We bring over 20 years of hands-on experience, having not only facilitated countless business sales, but also successfully bought and sold businesses we personally operated.

Selling a Business

The right time depends on a combination of personal goals, business performance, market conditions, and tax planning. We can help you assess your readiness and the market to make an informed decision.

We conduct a thorough valuation based on your financials, market trends, assets, and the company’s future earning potential. We tailor each valuation to the specific nuances of your business and industry.

While each case varies, we typically aim to secure Letters of Intent (LOIs) within 60 days. The full process, including due diligence and closing, can take 90–120 days.

Buying a Business

That depends on the deal structure. In a share sale, you acquire the full entity, including contracts, assets, and liabilities. In an asset sale, you purchase only selected components. We help structure the deal to suit your needs.

Costs & Commissions

Our commission is success-based.  The percentage range is based on the size and scope of each company.

Beyond our commission, sellers may incur legal, accounting, or tax advisory fees. We’ll work with your advisors to manage these effectively and transparently.
