Duties and Responsibilities
- Business brokers are responsible for various duties, including:
- Pricing a business with an accurate and professional valuation.
- Writing an offering summary or a confidential business review. This report becomes one of the most important marketing tools for the offering of a business and is provided to interested buyers after they have signed a confidentiality agreement that is qualified by the broker.
- Marketing the business to the best possible audience while maintaining strict confidentiality. Unlike real estate agents who will put a sign in front of their properties and advertise the specific location to anyone, business brokers look for certain buyers who they believe will be a good fit. Business brokers are trained to maintain confidentiality throughout every step of the sale.
- After insuring confidentiality agreements have been executed, they will introduce reliable potential buyers to the business.
- Organizing and facilitating meetings between the seller and potential buyers.
- Writing offers to purchase the business and handling all negotiations between the buyer and seller after an offer has been made.
- Facilitating the due diligence investigation which is a critical step
- Assisting the buyer in obtaining business acquisition financing.
- Facilitating the closing of the deal.
