Christopher Snider, president and CEO of the Exit Planning Institute, estimates that only about 20-30 percent of businesses that go to market end up selling.  This estimate is consistent with BizBuySell’s recent national report, which indicated only about one of every five listings on the online marketplace for small business sales and purchases had closed a sales transaction in 2016 (Forbes, Study Shows Why Many Business Owners Can’t Sell When They Want To, Feb 5, 2017).  The best approach for selling a business includes using the experience that a certified Business Broker brings to the process.  Using proper representation will dramatically increase your chances for a successful transaction.  We can help you at Cottonwood Commercial Business Brokers.
