How do I choose the right business broker?When choosing a business broker, be wary of brokers who inflate the value of your business significantly, pressure you into a quick sale and/or advertise a quick sale, and who do not clearly communicate their fees and costs of engagement. Choose a business broker that is or works with a certified business valuation expert to value your business, guides you through the sale process and does not pressure you into and/or advertise a quick sale, and clearly communicates the fees and costs of engagement.
