Business brokers are generally compensated by a commission fee at the close of your business which is based on a percentage of the sales price. However, every situation is different, and some brokers charge a consulting fee in addition to a commission on the sales price of the business. Depending upon the selling price you may pay a fixed commission rate or for larger transactions the rate goes into a sliding scale. Each situation is a little bit unique and therefore we would need to understand more about your business to tell you exactly what the fee structure would look like.
