Business Broker – Sell Your Business with Confidence
Business Broker Services for Atlanta & Beyond
​
Based in Atlanta, I work with owners whose businesses are tied to location, lease structure, and operational risk — often where traditional business brokerage approaches fall short. As a business broker, I help owners think clearly about the sale of their company when real estate is involved, lease terms materially affect value, or the deal structure requires more than a standard valuation model. My role is to help owners understand their options, reduce risk, and determine when working with a business broker is the right fit for their specific situation.
What most owners misunderstand about selling a business
​
-
Most business owners underestimate how much lease terms influence business value.
-
Lease structure directly affects buyer confidence.
-
Remaining lease term is a key driver of perceived deal risk.
-
Renewal options often determine whether buyers proceed or walk away.
​
-
A business broker who does not understand real estate cannot properly value a location-dependent business.
-
Buyers focus more on risk than revenue when evaluating acquisitions.
-
Poorly structured leases frequently become deal-killers during diligence.
-
Selling a business and selling real estate require different strategies and timelines.
​
-
Many owners wait too long to think about exit planning.
-
Late planning reduces leverage and limits buyer options.
-
Transparency early in the process leads to stronger offers.
-
Well-prepared exits attract more qualified buyers.
-
Rushed sales almost always result in discounted pricing.
-
The strongest offers usually come from buyers who clearly understand operational risk.

Atlanta Business Broker FAQs​
​
Should I sell the business or the real estate first?
That depends on how dependent the business is on the location. Selling in the wrong order can reduce buyer demand or weaken negotiating leverage.
​
Does my lease affect the value of my business?
Yes. Remaining term, renewal options, rent structure, and assignment rights all influence buyer risk and pricing.
When should I talk to a business broker?
Ideally, 12–24 months before a planned exit. Early planning creates more options and stronger outcomes.
​
How are business brokers paid?
Most are compensated on success, but fee structures vary. Understanding incentives is important before engaging any broker.
​
Do you work with niche or lifestyle businesses?
Yes. Many of the businesses I work with are owner-operated, specialized, or tied closely to location and brand.
