A business broker provides advisory services for those seeking to buy or sell a business. Most business brokers are licensed real estate professionals, cpa’s, financial advisors, lawyers, or previous business owners. In most states, a business broker does not require additional licensing to be state certified.
Business brokers provide services like buyer or seller representation which starts with a business valuation. This process can be measured by several key components like cash flow, gross revenue, and other financials found in tax returns.
Most business brokers provide services to Main Street, low to mid-market, and upper-market to mergers and acquisitions. The business broker industry comes with several local and international associations that help with training, designations, and support for those going through a transaction.
