As a small business owner, your company reflects the culmination of years of hard work, dedication, and passion. As you consider selling your business, it's natural to feel worried about making the right decisions. Like most small business owners, it's probably your first time selling a business. You may not be aware of the potential roadblocks to a successful sale and how to navigate around them. This is where a professional Business Broker can make a significant difference.

At Bear Down Brokerage, our specialized knowledge, training, and expertise play a crucial role in negotiating a deal for the best possible terms, helping you realize your goals and secure your legacy.


How Does a Business Broker Facilitate Negotiations?

Setting a Competitive yet Realistic Asking Price

What you think your business is worth and what it will sell for can be very different. Bear Down Brokerage helps you set a realistic selling price for your company by analyzing economic conditions, industry benchmarks, market trends, comparable sales, and financial health, ensuring you don't overprice or undervalue your company. The gap between buyers and sellers expectations on valuations is truly where the art of the deal comes into focus, and threading that needle takes strategic vision and formal negotiating skills.

Screening Potential Buyers

Bear Down Brokerage has the tools and resources to reach the largest possible base of buyers. They screen potential buyers to find candidates demonstrating financial capability and suitability for acquiring your business. This step saves time by weeding out time-wasters and identifying serious, qualified buyers who are capable of moving the deal forward.

Controlling the Flow of Information

Confidentiality is a critical aspect of small business sales. As the transaction progresses, Bear Down Brokerage will control the flow of information by securely distributing sensitive documents to the screened buyers on a need-to-know basis. We manage document sharing between parties to prevent data leaks and ensure your business details don't fall into the wrong hands.

Structuring Deals That Work

Bear Down Brokerage will come to understand your business and personal goals and negotiates terms to deliver your "must-haves." On the buyer side of the table are often sophisticated dealmakers who have acquired multiple businesses. Bear Down Brokerage are skilled at structuring transactions that cater to the objectives of both parties and level the playing field for a business owner making his one-and-only business sale.

Managing Negotiations Without Losing Momentum

Selling a business involves negotiating contracts and terms, handling various types of due diligence, assembling financial documents, and managing effective communication between professionals on both sides - CPAs, financial planners, transaction attorneys, and lenders. At Bear Down Brokerage, we keep the deal's momentum going, proactively detecting potential roadblocks, resolving disputes, and reducing risks before the deal falls apart. We are your trusted partner and serve as an advocate for your business sale from beginning to end, offering a partnership you can rely upon in these complex transactions. We also offer the expertise of in-house legal services through Warren Morten, who is also a partner in Bear Down Brokerage. They say time kills all deals, and having a legal expert who can provide answers without delay makes a big difference in the likelihood of a successful on-time close of your deal.
