Why don't you just list my business right away like other brokers?

Because 70-80% of businesses listed for sale never sell, often due to poor preparation. We've found that spending 1-6 months preparing properly results in faster sales at higher prices. Our job is to maximize your outcome, not just collect a listing fee.

How is this different from other business brokers?

Most brokers are paid to get listings, regardless of sellability. They often tell sellers what they want to hear about pricing to secure the exclusive agreement. We're paid to get businesses SOLD, so we focus on honest assessment and proper preparation first.

What happens if my business isn't ready to sell?

We provide a detailed assessment report with specific recommendations for improvement. You can implement these changes yourself, work with our recommended partners, or wait until market conditions or your situation changes. There's no pressure and no upfront fees for our consultation.

What if I need to sell quickly due to health or other circumstances?

We understand urgent situations exist. We'll conduct a rapid assessment and, if your business is market-ready, can begin marketing immediately. However, we'll be transparent about any challenges and work to address them quickly rather than give false hope.
