Buy, sell, value, finance, or refer a business. We route inquiries by region and specialty.
Use this form for buyer inquiries, seller listings, BOVLs, valuation requests, broker referrals, advertising, franchisors, and partner inquiries. For information related to a specific listing, please first complete the NDA and the assigned broker will contact you.
Selling, buying, valuing, financing, or transferring a small business is not the same as selling a house, posting a classified ad, or filling out a simple online form. A business transaction is a confidential, multi-step process involving people, cash flow, leases, employees, vendors, customers, inventory, equipment, financing, tax issues, transition planning, valuation questions, buyer qualification, and often months or years of follow-up. A good business broker helps organize that process, protect the owner’s time, preserve confidentiality, and connect the right buyer with the right opportunity.
909Brokers is being built around a local-territory model. We organize coverage around approximately 437 U.S. territories aligned with U.S. Congressional districts, meaning each district represents roughly one million people. The point is simple: business brokerage is local. Every territory has its own industries, employers, landlords, banks, attorneys, CPAs, economic development groups, buyers, sellers, family-owned operators, franchisees, local politics, and informal business networks. Each 909Brokers representative is expected to “own” a territory as a local expert in that community, while still being supported by a national platform, marketing system, listing database, CRM, valuation tools, referral process, and transaction workflow.
Regional knowledge matters because many of the best small-business transactions are never obvious from a public listing alone. A local broker can understand why one restaurant corridor is improving while another is declining, which landlords are flexible, which lenders understand a specific niche, which owners may be close to retirement, which buyers have already looked at similar businesses, and which industries are expanding or contracting in a given area. A broker with territory responsibility can help interpret the story behind the numbers and the market behind the listing.
For sellers, a business broker can help determine whether the company is ready to sell, whether a Broker Opinion of Value Letter or CPA-led valuation is appropriate, what information should be gathered before going to market, how to present financials, how to screen buyers, how to preserve confidentiality, and how to avoid wasting time with unqualified inquiries. Many business owners are emotionally and financially tied to their companies. A broker provides distance, process, and discipline so the owner can keep operating the business while the sale process moves forward quietly.
For buyers, a business broker can help narrow the search, explain transaction ranges, identify owner-financing possibilities, request the correct information under NDA, compare opportunities across industries, and avoid common mistakes. Buyers often underestimate how many questions need to be answered before an acquisition makes sense. Revenue, cash flow, rent, employees, equipment, customer concentration, seasonality, licensing, working capital, seller training, and transition risk all matter. A good broker helps buyers ask better questions before they spend money on diligence, attorneys, accountants, financing applications, or travel.
A broker also creates a more professional communications layer between buyer and seller. Direct buyer-seller contact too early can damage trust, reveal confidential information, create negotiating mistakes, or distract the owner from daily operations. 909Brokers encourages a structured process: initial inquiry, NDA, buyer screening, listing review, BOVL or valuation support when appropriate, lender or financing review, letter of intent, diligence, escrow or closing process, and transition planning. This does not remove the need for attorneys, CPAs, lenders, escrow providers, or due diligence advisors; it helps coordinate the sequence so the transaction has a better chance of closing.
Confidentiality is one of the biggest reasons to use a broker. Employees, customers, vendors, landlords, competitors, and local gossip can all create problems if a sale becomes public too early. Many owners do not want their company name, exact location, staff details, customer list, lease terms, or financial records disclosed until a buyer has been screened and has signed an NDA. A broker can publish enough information to attract interest without exposing the business unnecessarily.
Valuation is another major advantage. Many owners overestimate value because they remember the years of sacrifice behind the business. Some underestimate value because they have never packaged the company properly. Buyers may focus only on current profit and miss growth opportunities, assets, defensible local position, or strategic value. 909Brokers uses BOVLs, valuation referrals, and structured assessments to help parties start from a more realistic range before serious negotiations begin.
The 909Brokers model combines local territory ownership with a broader platform. Local brokers bring community knowledge, relationships, language skills, and market judgment. The platform adds search visibility, listing structure, CRM logging, lead capture, partner referrals, pricing pages, NDA workflows, valuation services, and national/international reach. That combination is intended to make small-business transfers more efficient while preserving the human judgment that these transactions require.
In short, hiring a business broker can save time, reduce confusion, protect confidentiality, improve buyer quality, support better valuation, coordinate advisors, and increase the odds of a successful transaction. For 909Brokers, the long-term goal is to make every territory feel covered by a local expert while giving that expert the tools of a national marketplace.
