                                          The Pros of Business Brokers

                                          There are many benefits of use business brokers instead of handling the
                                          business sale yourself. The main reason is time savings. Selling a business can
                                          take a particularly large amount of time and it requires some documentary
                                          work before the sale can take place. You can save your valuable time for this
Pros and Cons of Business Brokers |




                                          documentation work and business brokers assemble these documents for you.
                                          If anything, documentation requirements increase during the sale process.

                                          Business brokers can also save time by succeed prospects. Advertisements
                                          that let everyone know your automotive business for sale may attract potential
                                          buyers who actually don't have the potential to buy at all. Business brokers are
                                          experienced at weeding out the "tire kickers" and bringing only the serious
                                          buyers to the negotiating table.

                                          In fact, if business brokers are doing their jobs well, they should be maintaining
                                                                             www.aberdeenadvisors.com

lists of prospects that are ready to buy. If you choose to sell your business
through a broker, advertising the sale might not even be necessary. If you're
interested in buying a business, you may be able to find the sort of business
you're looking for more quickly by working with business brokers.

Another good factor of use business brokers is being able to profit from their
experience. If you're buying a business, you may have already bought several
and have all the experience you need. However, selling your business typically
occurs less often, so you don't have as many chances to learn how. Because
brokers buy and sell businesses all the time, they have accumulated quite a bit
of experience.

Business brokers are often used when buyers or sellers want to maintain
confidentiality. In some field, all the players are so well known that the market
itself could be changed by knowledge of a pending sale or purchase.

The Cons of Business Brokers

Maybe a better way to word that would have been the "downsides" of using
business brokers. There's really no reason to expect that business brokers are
likely to con you, but there are a couple of reasons why you might want to
consider selling or buying a business on your own.

Business brokers charge commissions for the deal. There is a lot of work


                                                                                    Pros and Cons of Business Brokers | [Pick the date]
involved in these types of transactions, and if a broker is going to handle
everything, he's going to want some compensation out of the deal.

There's no guarantee that business brokers will have your best interests in
mind. The information that he provides about the business will probably be
truthful, but might be "spun" to make a business more attractive to increase
the chances of a successful deal.

If you're buying or selling in a specialized industry, business brokers might not
have the specific industry knowledge that's required. In these cases, you're



                                                                                                                         2
probably better off working on your own if you have insider information that's
                                          difficult for those outside the business to comprehend.
