Choosing a Business Broker

Before the process of selling your business begins, it is important that you choose to work with the right business broker. The decision to sell your business is one of the most important decisions that you may ever make; therefore, you cannot afford to be working with someone who is unqualified.

So, when you begin looking for a business broker, consider the following factors:

• Confidentiality: It cannot be stressed enough how important it is that your business is sold discreetly. Failure to maintain confidentiality can have disastrous implications. At Morgan & Westfield, maintaining your confidentiality is our top concern.

We go to great lengths to protect your privacy through the use of confidential marketing techniques and non-disclosure agreements. Our business brokers will even advise you on steps that you can take to protect yourself. We will do everything that we can to protect your confidentiality at all times.

• Size: When choosing a business brokerage firm, you should look for a firm that is neither too big nor too small. Firms that are too large may not provide the same level of personalized service, but firms that are too small will lack the resources that are necessary to best serve you.

Morgan & Westfield provides a good balance between these two extremes. Our Bellevue, Washington office is relatively small and dedicated to providing personalized services to local business owners.

At the same time, our Bellevue office, being a member of a group of offices located throughout the US that make up the national Morgan & Westfield business brokerage firm, has access to all of the resources and capabilities of any other national firm but we have a local focus.

• Experience: It is important to work with a business broker who has the experience necessary to understand how to sell your business. At Morgan & Westfield, our business brokers facilitate hundreds of business sales every year. We are able to do this because our business brokers have over 100 years of combined experience in facilitating business sales. Our business brokers are former CEOs, CFOs, COOs, senior executives, and business owners, and many of them have experienced selling businesses as sellers rather than just as brokers. This experience allows our business brokers to have a better understanding of the process of selling a business from all perspectives.
• Local Knowledge: You should always utilize the assistance of a local business broker. Local brokers have local knowledge and connections that can prove invaluable. At the Bellevue, Washington office of Morgan & Westfield, our business brokers have over 100 years of accumulative experience in facilitating business sales in this region of Washington. This experience has given us a superior understanding of the local marketplace, how businesses are valued and sold here, and what unique challenges business owners face in this region.
• Connections: At Morgan & Westfield, we have connections to many industry professionals both locally through our Bellevue, Washington office and nationally through our national Morgan & Westfield business brokerage firm.
• Track Record: Every year, our Bellevue, Washington office of Morgan & Westfield facilitates hundreds of successful business sales.
• Honesty: At Morgan & Westfield, we will be open and honest with you at all times. Our business brokers will never guarantee that you will receive a certain price or that your business will be sold in a particular time frame. The fact is that these factors can never be guaranteed. So, our business brokers will never make these empty promises to you.
• A variety of Experiences: It is always a good idea to work with business brokers who have experience in a variety of different industries and have facilitated sales for companies of different sizes. Business brokers with experience in many areas often have more resources more connections and are more equipped to handle any challenge that may arise. At Morgan & Westfield, our business brokers have facilitated sales for companies ranging in value from $50,000 to $100 million. We have also facilitated sales in nearly every industry.
