Before you sign with We Sell Restaurants (or any broker)

  1. Check licensing in your state

    Several states treat business brokerage as real estate brokerage. Look up your state in our business brokers by state guide.

  2. Ask for comparable closed deals

    Industry, size and timeline of deals the specific person you would work with has closed.

  3. Get the full fee terms in writing

    Success fee, minimums, any upfront or listing fees, exclusivity length and tail period.

  4. Read reviews for patterns, not stars

    Look for repeated specifics (communication, buyer quality, fees charged if no sale) on BBB, Google and forums, and ask for seller references.

  5. Benchmark the price they suggest

    Run our valuation calculator first so a high suggested price does not win the listing by default.
