Executive Business Brokers – Where Businesses Find Their Next Chapter

Since 1985, Executive Business Brokers (EBB) has been the trusted force connecting passionate buyers with motivated sellers across New Jersey and beyond. As one of the region’s largest and most active business brokerage firms, we specialize in turning ownership transitions into exciting opportunities—whether you’re ready to cash out your life’s work or step into a proven business that matches your vision.

We’re in the business of selling businesses—and we do it exceptionally well.
We focus on dynamic small to mid-sized companies with annual revenues under $10M, priced from $100K to $5M (with buyer liquid investments typically $50K–$2M). Our portfolio spans retail powerhouses (convenience stores, restaurants, gas stations, laundromats, pharmacies, car washes), wholesale, distribution, manufacturing, services, franchises, and more—truly “Main Street” to light industrial.
