FAQs

 

1. What does a business broker do?

A business broker helps business owners sell their business confidentially. They assist with valuation, marketing, finding qualified buyers, negotiating offers, and managing the closing process. Brokers also help buyers locate profitable opportunities.

2. Why should I hire a business broker instead of selling on my own?

Selling a business involves financial analysis, marketing, confidentiality, buyer screening, negotiations, and legal documentation. A broker protects your privacy, attracts serious buyers, and ensures you sell for the highest possible price while avoiding mistakes.

3. How much is my business worth?

Business value depends on cash flow, financial performance, industry trends, and market demand. We provide data-driven business valuations to help you understand a fair market price before listing.

4. How long does it take to sell a business?

Most small and mid-sized businesses in Texas take 3–9 months to sell. Highly profitable or niche businesses may sell faster. Businesses with weak financials may take longer.
