Business Broker Contracts with a Guarantee
Business Broker Contracts with a guarantee are an exception. Business brokers are reluctant to offer guarantees because independent research summarized by Forbes and the Exit Planning Institute shows that only 20–30% of businesses that go to market actually sell. This means up to 70–80% never close.
No in‑person meetings required. We work 100% remote via phone, email, and Zoom.
Most Businesses Never Sell — But Yours Will
According to Forbes, citing the State of Owner Readiness™ Research by the Exit Planning Institute, 70–80% of small businesses that go to market never actually sell. The reasons range from unrealistic valuations and poor preparation to a lack of a strong buyer pool. At BizProfitPro, we’ve built our entire model to change that outcome. Unlike the industry average, we stand behind our results with a 100% Guarantee: ➡️ If we list your business for sale, it will be sold at market value or above.
Conditions of the Guarantee
- Exclusive Representation. Seller lists exclusively with BizProfitPro for a defined term (e.g., 9–12 months).
- Realistic Valuation. Asking price within market range per SDE/EBITDA multiples, industry comps, and our BOV.
- Complete & Accurate Financials. Three (3) years of tax returns, P&L, balance sheet, and YTD financials; material misstatements void eligibility.
- Operational Continuity. The business remains a going concern, with no material adverse changes, major legal issues, or key-person departures.
- Seller Cooperation. Timely responses, data‑room docs, and participation in diligence, site calls, and buyer meetings.
- Timeframe. We are afforded the whole listing period to execute marketing and negotiations.
- Reasonable Exclusions. Distressed assets, sub‑$100k revenue, or outlier industries may be ineligible at our discretion.
- Marketing Deposit. A refundable marketing retainer is credited at closing.
How the Program Works
- Readiness Review. Quick look at SDE/EBITDA, customer concentration, and transferability.
- Market‑Value BOV. Clear pricing guidance grounded in comps and buyer demand.
- Structured Go‑to‑Market. Confidential teaser, CIM, buyer list, and outreach.
- Managed Diligence. Data room, Q&A log, and weekly updates.
- Deal Crafting. LOI, structure, and negotiation to maximize after‑tax proceeds.
- Close. Lender/attorney coordination through funding and transition.
Why the Business Broker Contracts Guarantee Matters
Most owners underestimate the effort required to reach a closing table. Multiple sources summarize the challenge:
- Exit Planning Institute: “Only 20–30% of businesses that go to market actually sell, leaving up to 80% without options.” State of Owner Readiness.
- Forbes coverage referencing the same statistic and the need for exit planning. See the latest Bizbuysell insight reports.
FAQ
What happens if market conditions change?
We refresh buyer feedback and comps throughout the listing term. If macroeconomic conditions materially shift, we’ll review options with you (timing, structure, and earn-outs) while staying aligned with the market-value standard.
Do you require in‑person meetings?
No. Our process runs 100% remote via secure data rooms, e‑sign, and Zoom diligence calls.
How do you define “market value”?
Market value is the price a willing buyer and willing seller agree upon, given normalized SDE/EBITDA, quality of earnings, risk profile, and current demand. We document the range in the BOV and validate it through buyer offers. Find more FAQ’s here.
