Why Business Brokerages Exist
Buying or selling a business is complex—much more involved than a typical real estate transaction. A business brokerage provides the expertise, confidentiality, and negotiation skills needed to complete a smooth and successful deal.
A business brokerage is the bridge between buyers and sellers, ensuring both sides have the information, guidance, and support needed to make the best possible decision.
What Is My Business Worth?
The most common question sellers ask is about valuation—and for good reason. Determining your business’s worth involves analyzing financial performance, assets, industry trends, market demand, and the strength of your operations.
At AMD Custom Business Brokers, we provide a comprehensive valuation so you know exactly where you stand before listing. This ensures your business is priced competitively and attracts serious, qualified buyers.
How Long Does It Take to Sell a Business?
The timeline for selling a business can vary widely, generally ranging from a few months to a year depending on the size of the business, market conditions, and how prepared the seller is.
We streamline the process by helping you gather the right documents, packaging your business professionally, and marketing it confidentially to interested buyers. Our goal is to secure the best deal in the most efficient timeline—without rushing the process.
Will My Business Sale Stay Confidential?
Yes. Confidentiality is one of the most important parts of selling a business.
We ensure that your employees, customers, suppliers, and competitors are not aware that your business is for sale until the appropriate time. Buyers are required to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before receiving any sensitive information, protecting your business’s stability throughout the entire selling process.
How Do I Find the Right Business to Buy?
Finding the right business starts with understanding your goals, experience, budget, and lifestyle preferences.
At AMD Custom Business Brokers, we learn what you’re looking for and match you with businesses that fit your criteria. We provide detailed financials, industry insights, and growth potential so you can make an informed choice—not just a quick one.
What Is the Buying Process Like?
Buying a business involves several key steps: identifying opportunities, reviewing financials, making an offer, completing due diligence, securing financing, and finalizing the deal.
We guide you through each phase, coordinate with accountants and attorneys, and help ensure every part of the transaction is handled correctly.
Our goal is to make the process smooth, transparent, and successful from start to finish.
Can You Help Me Understand the Financials?
Absolutely. Reviewing financial statements can be overwhelming if you’re not familiar with valuation, cash flow, or industry benchmarks.
We assist you in analyzing the business’s performance, identifying risks, and understanding the numbers that matter most. With clear explanations and expert guidance, you’ll feel confident knowing exactly what you’re investing in.
