What are their credentials?

Clear Sales and Marketing Plan This plan should outline how the broker plans to market your business and their strategy for finding buyers.

Did they take the time to understand your business, key metrics, and core differentiators?

Do they have an existing database of buyers to market to?

What are the websites that they use to list your business?

Who's responsible for creating the confidential business review?

First Impression Think about how they made you feel from your very first conversation.

Will they prioritize your best interests?

Did they ask good questions about your business, background, and reason for selling?

Did they provide any examples of other companies that they've sold?

You want to be sure that you're getting what you pay for, so ask lots of questions and get everything in writing before moving forward.
