The ProBuy Program is good for six months but most of my business buyer clients end up buying a business usually within three to five months from start to finish. The cost of the program is a one time $800 fee (payable via check, credit/debit card, or eCheck). There are no other fees associated with this program for my services during the program.
This fee covers consulting & pre due-diligence (Phase 1) on all deals: is the deal priced right? can you get financing on the deal? what deal points about the business should you be concerned about?, getting you prequalified for business purchase financing (and getting you the financing needed for your purchase), getting the right team/advisors (transactional attorney, escrow/bulk sale services, etc.) in place to assist you, etc.
Buying or selling a small to mid-sized business can be a confusing and/or frustrating process.

Sometimes business brokers just can't win with their clients, because if an offer comes in too fast & too early then they must have lowballed the price & the seller is suspicious, and if not enough offers come in after putting the business on the market - they may look unproductive to their clients.
