BLS Consulting
Serving Hennepin County, MN
Why pay 10-12% Commissions when there's a better plan out there. Every year an estimated million businesses are sold by owners just like you. A typical business broker will charge a 10-12% commission, however here at BLS Consulting, we believe in offering programs that meet the specific needs of each business owner at a reduced rate than other brokers and M&A professionals. Based on our experience, prospective business sellers struggle with many of the same questions: "Is it the right time to sell my business?" "How do I figure out the real value of my business so I sell at the right price?" "How do I know I'm taking all the right legal and financial precautions?" "Who can I really trust to help me find the best buyer for my business?" BLS Consulting has the answers to these questions.
