Selling businesses is difficult, as many business owners who try to sell their business on their own find out. They typically don’t know what the market value of their business is; how to prepare their business for sale for the highest price; how to find, qualify, and take buyers through a process that will generate competitive offers; respond to letters of intent, manage legal resources; get financing for the acquisition; complete due diligence; or address the many issues that emerge that can sink a deal. This process often takes nine to twelve months to complete. Hiring a business broker will simplify the process significantly, but who do you trust? The BizEx website can answer many of your executive-level questions. It includes our very popular free online business valuation calculator, the business sales process, how to choose a business broker, and other challenges. Once you’ve done your research, take advantage of our free business evaluation and consultation. We’ll dig deeper into those elements of your business that drives value, and help you make sense of everything you’ve learned. During this process, you should gain a fair idea of our professionalism and trustworthiness. We don’t charge an upfront fee. We’re success fee driven. BizEx was established in 2005 and is now one of the largest Business Brokerages in Los Angeles.
