Questions About Selling? We’ve Got You Covered.
Most business brokers charge a success-based fee, typically a percentage of the final sale price. But the real value isn’t just in the fee, it’s in what you get for it. At BBA, you’re hiring a strategic partner who manages the full process from prep to close.
We help you position your business to attract serious buyers, structure smarter deals, and avoid costly mistakes. Selling a business is a full-time job. We take it off your plate so you can focus on performance and walk away with the best possible outcome.
A Letter of Intent (LOI) is a non-binding agreement that outlines a buyer’s intent to purchase your business, including key deal terms like price, structure, financing, and timeline. While it’s not legally enforceable, signing an LOI usually means your business is taken off the market and you enter due diligence.
It matters because the LOI sets the tone for the rest of the deal. It’s your first real window into the buyer’s seriousness, values, and ability to close. A strong LOI creates momentum, while a weak one can stall or sink the process. At BBA, we help you evaluate and negotiate LOIs strategically, so you stay protected and on track to a successful sale.
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, it typically takes six to twelve months to sell a business.
Why? Because selling a business isn’t like selling a house. You’re not just handing over a set of keys—you’re transferring years (sometimes decades) of financial history, operational systems, client relationships, and emotional investment. It’s a complex, deeply personal process that requires preparation, patience, and the right team.
Your business is worth what a qualified buyer is willing to pay: typically based on profit, not just revenue, assets, or how hard you’ve worked.
Clean, well-documented financials are critical, as buyers want proof, not projections. Overpricing due to emotion or inflated assumptions can scare off serious offers. A professional valuation, grounded in real market data and tailored to your industry, gives you the best chance of pricing right and selling smart.
