Questions owners and brokers ask

See all questions

How much does it cost to sell a business through a broker

Business brokers commonly charge a success fee of 8 to 12% on Main Street deals, often with a minimum fee, paid at closing. On CompanyBrokers the owner pays nothing to the marketplace when a broker lists the company; the broker pays the plan. Owners selling by themselves pay the Owner Listing plan from $24 per month billed yearly. More in business broker fees.

Is my company kept confidential

Yes. A listing shows the industry, region and financial summary, never the company name. Buyers see the name and the data room only after they e-sign the NDA and you or your broker approve them.

Who sees my financials

Only buyers you approve after the NDA and proof of funds step. Every view and download is recorded in the audit log, and you can revoke access at any time.

How are brokers vetted

Brokers confirm their state license or registration where the state requires one and their professional details before their profile goes live. Owners see each broker's states, industries and deal size range before they accept a match.

Can I list my company without a broker

Yes. The Owner Listing plan gives you one active listing, a valuation report, a data room and NDA-gated inquiries. You can switch to a broker at any time.

How are buyers qualified

Each buyer e-signs the NDA and shows proof of funds, such as a bank or brokerage statement, an SBA pre-qualification letter or a fund commitment, before financials are released.

Can I cancel anytime

Yes. Plans renew until you cancel, and access stays on until the end of the period you paid for.

Who owns my data

You do. Listings, documents and buyer records belong to you, and Brokerage plans export the listing feed in XML or CSV whenever you need it.
