Hi Welcome to ValuationPodcast.com - A podcast and video series about all things related to business and valuation.\xa0 My name is Melissa Gragg, and I provide online valuation services for mediation and litigation, based in St. Louis, Missouri. \xa0
Today we will be discussing Common Questions to Ask a Business Broker When Selling a Business with Jennifer Smith, a business broker in Cape Girardeau Missouri with Murphy Business Sales.
Welcome Jennifer!\xa0
- Do you do an auction style process ?
- Do you just reach out to network of Murphy and see if there are buyers?\xa0
- How does working for both sides of the deal really work?
- Does that mean you work for one and another Murphy broker is on the other end?
- Do you do a full valuation? Do you charge for it?\xa0
- Do you establish a baseline price \u2013 or the floor price?\xa0
- How long does the process usually take?\xa0
- What about a few close buyers or local competitors \u2013 do you wait until the end to contact them?
- How do you keep a deal quiet?\xa0
