MYTH

There is a myth shared by many first time business buyers that it is best to work directly to the listing broker in order to get the most information about the business.

Many Brokers and Intermediaries are very excellent resource but many times it is to the Buyer’s advantage to get someone to focus on his or her particular needs an situation. It is particularly important to select the right business, do right research and ask the right questions for due diligence.

Businesses can take a long time to sell and if you discover the business is not the right business for you, it is hard to find a new buyer in a short time period.

It is best to make sure you do your best to make the right decision leading up to the acquisition.
