Maximize Your Value

Business Broker vs. M&A Advisor:

Understanding the difference between a North Carolina Business Broker and an M&A Advisor is key. Here’s a breakdown to help you decide:

  • Business Broker: Ideal for smaller businesses (under $5 million annual revenue) in various industries like restaurants, retail stores, or service providers. They use streamlined valuation methods and marketing strategies, catering to local individual buyers or smaller strategic acquirers. This can be a good fit if you prioritize a quicker sale process with a more focused group of buyers.
  • M&A Advisor: Specializes in mid-market transactions ($1 million – $25 million annual revenue). They offer in-depth financial analysis and sophisticated valuation methods to target strategic buyers like corporations or private equity groups. Their national and international networks ensure a wider pool of qualified buyers, ideal for maximizing your sale price through a competitive bidding process. Choose an M&A Advisor if you have a mid-sized business with established financials and want access to a broader range of potential buyers, including corporations and private equity firms.
