Being a Buyer and Understanding Your Role...

Good Business Brokers - Good business brokers are a trained intermediaries experienced in the the confidential sale of businesses for sale to qualified buyers. Business brokers place a marketable price (s) on businesses for sale that they can prove to a buyer. The business broker qualifies the businesses for sale through a thorough review of the business financials. Business brokers also qualify buyers based on experience, financial means and a basic credit history - though most - if not all - BSN business brokers DO NOT require credit reports or financial statements as part of the qualification process when looking at their businesses for sale

Be Motivated - All business brokers and sellers assume that interested buyers are prepared to make an offer should the business for sale fit the buyer's needs or wants. All business brokers and sellers put a ton of time and effort into preparing for and marketing the businesses for sale. A "tire kicker" (not motivated) buyer only wastes valuable time better spent elsewhere.

Interview The Broker - All business brokers should be able to answer simple questions regarding their businesses for sale. If the business broker can't answer general questions then walk away - this is probably a business for sale that you don't want a part of.

Understand The Asking Price - GUESS WHAT: "It's what the owner wants" IS NOT a viable explanation from business brokers to how their businesses for sale are priced. Ask the business broker for a detailed explanation of how it was priced. If business brokers decline your request on their businesses for sale THEN GET AWAY! Too many business brokers do not do ANY due diligence in pricing their businesses for sale and most sellers do not have any concept on pricing a business to sell.

The Perfect Business - Unfortunately, finding that "perfect business" through a business brokers businesses for sale is a fairy tale. There is no "perfect business" - and don't let business brokers tell you that it is the perfect business for you. That's why 85% of all business buyers end up purchasing something other than that business for sale in which they were originally interested in. All business buyers have a general idea on what they want or need but these general roadmaps are littered with potholes and detours.

BUSINESS FINANCING - you do not need to purchase a business through us to utilize our SBA loan sources. If you need a business loan please visit our business loan division at www.bsnfinance.com. Unlike the local banks - our lenders work to get a loan closed.
