Who pays the Business Broker fees?
Welcome to the world of business brokerage! At Core Business Brokers, we often get asked, “Who pays the Business Broker fees?” It’s a great question, especially if you’re considering buying or selling a business in Sydney. Let’s dive into the details and clear up any confusion.
The Role of a Business Broker as a Selling Agent
In most cases, Business Brokers act as selling agents, representing business owners who are looking to sell. When we take on the responsibility of selling your business, our primary goal is to get you the best possible price, while ensuring a smooth and efficient process.
But who foots the bill for these services? Typically, the seller is responsible for paying the Business Broker fees. These fees are often structured as a percentage of the final sale price, which means our success is directly tied to yours. This arrangement incentivises us to achieve the highest possible sale price for your business. With decades of experience in the Sydney business sales industry, we bring a wealth of skills, assistance, and guidance to the table, making our fees a worthwhile investment.
Business Brokers as Buyer’s Agents
On the flip side, Business Brokers can also act as buyer’s agents. When working in this capacity, we represent individuals or companies looking to purchase a business. In such scenarios, it’s the buyer who incurs the broker’s fees. This fee structure ensures that we are fully committed to finding the best possible business for the buyer’s needs and objectives.
However, at Core Business Brokers, we primarily operate as Business Brokers for sellers. This allows us to focus our efforts on marketing and negotiating the sale of businesses, leveraging our extensive network and industry knowledge to benefit our clients.
Why Business Broker Fees are Worth It
You might be wondering if these fees are really worth it. The short answer is, absolutely! Here’s why:
- Expert Appraisal and advice: Accurately appraising a business is both an art and a science. We combine market knowledge with financial acumen to determine the true worth of your business in today’s market.
- Effective Marketing: We know where and how to market your business to attract serious buyers, using a variety of channels to maximise visibility. Combine this with our decades of experience in the Sydney business sales industry and you’re starting strong!
