You built this for your family. Let us make it count.
Know Your Number Before You Go to Market
Most business owners either overprice and sit on the market or underprice and leave significant money on the table. BAA starts every engagement with a certified valuation based on your actual financials — SDE, EBITDA, market comparables, and deal structure.
including:
Seller's Discretionary Earnings (SDE) analysis
EBITDA normalization and add-back documentation
Comparable market transaction review
Pricing strategy based on current buyer demand
Your Business Goes to Market. Nobody Knows It's for Sale.
BAA uses blind listings, signed NDAs, and targeted outreach to qualified buyers — so your employees, competitors, and vendors stay in the dark until the deal is done and the wire clears.
including:
Blind listing on BizBuySell, BizQuest, and 8+ marketplaces
NDA required before any identifying details are shared
Direct outreach to our proprietary buyer database
No public advertising that could tip off staff or competitors
We Only Bring You Serious, Qualified Buyers
Time spent with unqualified buyers is time away from running your business. BAA pre-qualifies every buyer before introductions — financial capability, industry fit, and genuine intent to close.
including:
Financial capability verified before NDA is issued
Industry experience and operational fit assessed
Signed NDA enforced before business details shared
BAA manages all buyer communication and Q&A
From Signed LOI to Wire Transfer
Once a buyer is under LOI, the real work begins. BAA coordinates due diligence, escrow, asset purchase agreement, bulk sale compliance, and lender coordination — so you can keep running your business until the deal closes.
including:
Due diligence coordination and document management
Asset Purchase Agreement and bulk sale notice support
Escrow management and lender/SBA coordination
Transition planning and seller training period negotiation
frequently asked questions
We’re here to answer your questions.
Here's where we answer the most common questions about Exit Advisory.
What does selling with Business Advisors of America include?
We handle the full sale from valuation to close. That covers an SDE and EBITDA valuation, packaging the business for market, direct outreach to qualified buyers, managing offers and negotiation, and running the deal through diligence to closing. You keep running the business while we run the sale.
How long does it take to sell?
We work on a compressed timeline. Most sales run about 12 weeks from launch to close, versus the 6 to 9 months common elsewhere. We start with direct buyer outreach before any public listing, so the process is moving from week one.
What does it cost to sell with you?
Nothing upfront. We work on performance only. Our fee is paid by the seller at closing, 10 to 12% on smaller deals and a tiered structure on larger ones. If the business does not sell, you owe nothing.
What kinds of businesses do you work with?
Owner-operated companies in the $500K to $20M revenue range where the owner is close to day-to-day operations. These are the businesses that most often leave money on the table at exit, and where the right buyer outreach and deal structure make the biggest difference.
Do you charge a retainer or any upfront fees?
No. We only get paid when your business sells. There is no retainer, no listing fee, and no monthly cost. Our fee comes out of the sale proceeds at closing, so our incentive is to get you the best deal and actually close it.
