Tips for Working with A Business Broker
Many sellers employ business brokers to manage the details and direction of their sale.

Brokerage doesn't replace the seller's requirement to be involved in the sale; it augments the seller's efforts and creates a more seamless sale process.

Finding Prospects

The downside is that they won't pay top dollar and will probably absorb your company into their own.
