Frequently Asked Questions
How much is my business worth?
Your business is worth what a preferred bank or investor is willing to fund—and that depends on factors like cash flow, industry trends, and financing options. With our data-driven valuation process, we ensure you get top dollar, not just a rough guess. Want an accurate valuation? Let’s talk.
How long does it take to sell my business?
Most businesses take 6 to 9 months to sell—but our QSI™ process dramatically increases speed and success. We pre-screen buyers, line up financing, and control the process, giving you a 90% success rate vs. the industry’s 20%.
How do you find buyers for my business?
We don’t just list your business and hope for the best. We actively source pre-qualified buyers through our extensive off-market buyer network, strategic outreach, and direct marketing. Our buyers are serious, funded, and ready to close.
How do you keep the sale confidential?
Confidentiality is our priority. We use strict NDAs, private marketing channels, and controlled buyer screening to ensure your employees, customers, and competitors never know you’re selling—until the deal is done.
What makes QSI™ different from other business brokers?
Most brokers list businesses and hope for the best. We actively sell, using our proven 10-step QSI™ process, elite acquisition team, expert SBA financing, and pre-qualified buyers. That’s why we close 5X more deals than the industry average.
Will my employees be taken care of after the sale?
A good deal is one where everyone wins—including your employees. We help structure buyer agreements, transition plans, and succession strategies to ensure your team is in good hands.
How do I make sure I don’t leave money on the table?
By using our structured, strategic approach. We position your business for maximum value, negotiate the best terms, and align SBA financing to ensure buyers can pay top dollar.
Do I need to finance part of the deal?
Not necessarily. With QSI™ Preferred Lenders, we secure SBA financing that allows buyers to purchase with minimal seller financing—keeping more money in your pocket upfront.
What if my business doesn’t sell?
With a 90% success rate, our process works. But if your business isn’t the right fit for the market, we’ll give you direct, honest feedback and help you optimize for a future sale.
How do I get started?
Simple. Schedule a confidential consultation. We’ll assess your business, outline your options, and give you a clear plan to sell for maximum value—with zero pressure.
