Currently there are over 17 million privately held businesses in America.  Approximately 20% of these businesses are for sale at any one time, as their owners face retirement, poor health, divorce, or simple "burn-out". Business  Brokerage is the relatively new profession that lists and sells these businesses  for a fee.

When a business owner decides to sell, concerns about price, negotiations and  confidentiality are paramount. The use of a professional Sunbelt Business Broker eliminates these concerns for the seller. The Sunbelt Broker can market the  business to the widest possible market in a professional and confidential  manner. Sunbelt is a full service business brokerage firm, suited to handle any  size privately held business. Our network size enables us to expose the larger business to buyers who have the financial resources to purchase such a business.

As large businesses "downsize," "re-engineer" and "rightsize", thousands of  potential small business buyers are entering the market. For these potential buyers, jobs are scarce and the future is uncertain. These buyers have two basic options, start a new business or buy an existing business or franchise. New business start-ups have a historically high failure rate, making the purchase of an existing business a much more prudent way to secure their future. A Sunbelt Business Broker has access to a large inventory of businesses for sale and, working with the buyer, the Sunbelt Broker can find a business that will enable the buyer to succeed.

Sunbelt brokers come from all backgrounds and experiences. A real estate license is not required to be a business broker. If you have the  interest and the willingness to work hard and succeed, we can train you to be a  successful business broker.
