There's a long-standing joke in the business brokerage industry, whereby a business seller wants you to sell his or her business as soon as possible, and for the best price, but you can't tell anyone it's for sale.

This is not far from the truth. If not done properly, putting a business up for sale can jeopardize relations with customers, employees, suppliers, and finance sources. Competitors can be quick to make the most of the situation by letting others know that the business is for sale and that, therefore, their company is safer to deal with.

We understand this dynamic, and have developed methods to pursue the seller's objectives while maintaining the utmost in confidentiality. Sometimes it involves keeping a listing private while we contact prospective buyers with a so-called "blind profile." In other cases, it's OK to publicize a listing as long as inquirers are required to sign a non-disclosure agreement ("NDA").
