Frequently Asked Questions About Business Brokers by Industry

These FAQs explain how to use this page to find industry-specific business brokers when you’re ready to sell.

Why does it matter to use a business broker who knows my industry?

Industry-specific brokers already understand typical margins, key value drivers, and buyer concerns in your sector. When you choose from business brokers by industry, you spend less time explaining basics and more time focusing on pricing, deal structure, and actually getting your business sold.

How do I use this page if I’m ready to sell my business?

Scroll to the category that best describes your company, then click the link that matches your situation — for example, “Sell My Plumbing Business” or “Sell My Assisted Living Facility”. From there, you’ll be able to learn more about the process and connect with brokers who regularly work in that industry.

What if my business doesn’t fit perfectly into one industry category?

That’s normal. Many businesses overlap categories — for example, a company might combine construction services, maintenance contracts, and retail sales. Choose the link that’s closest to your primary revenue stream, and a broker can help you position the rest of your services or divisions in a way buyers understand.

Is there a minimum size for businesses these brokers will work with?

Most of the industries listed here focus on Main Street and lower middle market businesses. Some brokers prefer deals above a certain revenue or earnings threshold. When you contact them through a “Sell My …” page, they’ll let you know if your business fits their criteria or if there’s a better fit in their network.
