From the Seller’s Side:
Most of the time, a business broker or (M&A) expert is the one listing businesses for sale. The majority of the time, the business broker represents the business seller and his duty lies solely in getting the highest possible return – and the most attractive terms for the business seller.
Sellers need to realize that, no matter how good the broker is, it is market value and the quality of the sales package that will determine the final price and terms of the sale. A principle function of the business broker is to determine the highest value of a business, based on realistic market indicators and to help the seller assume a realistic value for his business. A Denver business broker like Company Broker’s Paul Olsen will aggressively negotiate the BEST possible deal for his seller.

A competent, professional Colorado business broker will draft a superior marketing package, appealing to the better quality buyers, with the means to qualify easily. The broker also needs to keep the seller in the loop from start to finish, providing the current status of the listing and insuring absolute confidentiality of the sale until the seller is ready to go public.
At any rate, selling a Colorado business requires bi-lateral cooperation – the seller and his qualified Colorado business broker. The business seller needs to also keep the business broker in his loop, with updates on the current operational status of his business, like sales trends, industry trends, fluctuations in the financial arena, adding/purchasing major new collateral like heavy equipment, and fluctuations in the inventory.
The broker and the seller are a team; with mutual goals, a broker’s success is the seller’s success. Finally, a professional and confident business broker will not demand “up-front money”. A broker that demands an up-front fee is showing you he is not confident he will be successful, and wants his guarantee of income from YOUR pocket. A true pro knows he will succeed and takes his fees once the deal is closed.
The commission on the sale of your business should be based upon the final selling price stated in the contract. The logic of this is obvious, working on commission alone, Paul Olsen, your Colorado Business Broker, has a personal stake in getting you the highest selling price possible. The more you make, the more he makes. The broker and seller’s interests should be 100% aligned.
