Comments:

Finding a good broker can take some time. As a full-time business broker, I recommend that sellers take the time to interview several brokers. Find a broker that you feel will best represent you and your business in an honest and professional way. Don’t be afraid to ask direct tough questions about their experience and success. Ask about their plan to market your business and about the process they use to qualify buyers. The time spent to find the right representative is well worth it!
