I pay BIG FAT Finders Fees!
I'm a Business Broker, meaning that I help company owners to sell their companies, and I'm always looking for new business.
If you make an introduction to a seller for me, I will pay you 10% of my commission at closing. That's generally about 1% of the sale price.
We sell any kind of business, except those that are "adult" or marijuana related. We sell the business with or without real estate.
I recently sold an FBO (fixed base operator) at a small regional - that's the company that runs airport operations.
The finders fee on that would have been about $37,000.
I also sold a precast concrete company. That finders fee would have been $13,000.
A pair of small motels would have yielded a finder's fee of $6,700.
I currently have a group of assisted living facilities under contract. That finder's fee would be $135,000.
Mind you, this is your fee simply for making an introduction!
What are good candidates to talk with?
Gas stations
Convenience stores
Dry Cleaners
Pizza shops
Pubs / restaurants
Heating oil dealers
Supermarkets (privately owned)
Distributors (food, alcohol, medical supplies, industrial supplies, etc)
Manufacturing companies in any industry
Health care - (home care, assisted living, nursing homes, addiction treatment, medical spa, etc.)
Car dealers
Laundromats
Car Washes
Staffing agencies
Cleaning and disaster restoration companies
The key things to remember when talking with an owner are:
1. There are no upfront fees. We get paid ONLY upon success.
2. We offer a no-cost, no-obligation opinion of value.
3. We maintain STRICT confidentiality.
Terms:
You make an introduction and forward their contact information to me at [email protected]. Let the seller know that I will call or email - whichever they prefer.
Your referral has to be new business. Not someone we're already talking with.
The business has to be large enough for us to sell. Ask the seller "If we were to find you a buyer, how much should we tell him that he can make?" If the answer is less than $125,000, it's probably too small for us.
We cannot interfere with an existing contract, so if the business is already listed elsewhere, I have to walk away until that listing expires.
It cannot be in one of the 17 states that require a real estate license to sell a business. Those states are
- Alaska
- Arizona
- California
- Colorado
- Florida
- Georgia
- Idaho
- Illinois (Illinois does not actually require a license, but registration with the state securities commission is necessary.)
- Minnesota
- Nebraska
- Nevada
- Oregon
- South Dakota
- Utah
- Washington
- Wisconsin
- Wyoming
That's all there is to it. Make a referral, send me the contact information and sit back. When we close, 10% of our fee goes to you!
