Every licensed broker on the exchange, on one floor.

What you are actually paying a broker for

A broker sells your business for you — pricing it, marketing it confidentially, qualifying buyers and carrying the negotiation. Most owners do this once in their life, which is exactly why the fees and the paperwork are hard to judge. This is the plain version.

• Pricing the business

  A broker sets an asking price they can defend to a buyer. You can arrive already knowing the number — our free valuation gives you a range and shows its working, with no email required to see it.

• Confidential marketing

  Your staff, customers and competitors should not learn the business is for sale from an advert. A broker lists it anonymously and releases the identity only behind a signed non-disclosure agreement.

• Qualifying the buyers

  Most enquiries on a listed business never had the money. Filtering them is the least visible and most valuable thing a broker does.

• The paperwork

  The engagement agreement, the information memorandum, the offer and the disclosure obligations — which differ by country and, in Australia, by state.

Directories by country

Do you need one?

Not always. A straightforward sale to a buyer you already know rarely needs a broker, and bizflip runs that sale end to end for free — the agreement, the confidentiality, the data room and the offer. A complex or competitive sale, or one you want kept quiet while you keep trading, usually earns the fee. Either way, start by knowing what it is worth, and compare what the platforms actually give you on our comparison of every business-sale platform.
