Lion Business Advisors

The Right Business Broker to Sell Your Business

When it comes to selling your business, choosing the right business brokerage or M&A firm can make all the difference. But what sets one firm apart from another? And more importantly, does the team at Lion Business Advisors have what it takes to maximize your sale?

With decades of experience completing successful deals, working closely with business owners, and guiding buyers through complex transactions, we know exactly how to get deals done. Our team includes Certified Business Intermediaries (CBI) and recognized Industry Experts through the International Business Brokers Association (IBBA) and Business Brokerage Press.

Our expertise, process, and commitment to confidentiality, valuation maximization, and seamless closings make us the trusted choice for business owners looking to sell with confidence.

The Right Business Broker Should Answer These Questions

Not all business brokers are created equal. Before choosing one, ask yourself:

  • Can they find the right buyer?
    A great broker must have an extensive yet targeted network to protect confidentiality while identifying qualified buyers who can meet your price, structure an attractive offer, and align with your exit goals.
  • Can they generate strong buyer interest?
    It’s not enough to find buyers—the broker must engage and excite them, demonstrating the true value of your business and driving competitive offers. The right broker knows how to position your company so that buyers see the future value it holds.
  • Can they close the deal at the best value?
    Due diligence is where deals often fall apart. Buyers and their advisors will look for reasons to reduce the price. Your broker needs a proven negotiation strategy and experience in managing the due diligence process to protect your business’s value and keep the deal on track.

At Lion Business Advisors, we built our process by answering these questions. With the largest active funnel of buyers, a structured approach, and a track record of successful sales, we deliver results—year after year.
