ABOUT
Straight Answers From a Licensed Broker — Not a Sales Pitch
Main Street Exits exists to answer the question every owner eventually asks: "What is my business actually worth?"
Most owners get this number wrong. They anchor to what they need for retirement, what a competitor claimed they sold for, or what a free online calculator spit out. Then the business sits unsold for a year — or sells for six figures less than it should have.
We do it differently. As a licensed broker associate with Infinity Business Brokers, we value and sell main street businesses anywhere in the USA using current comparable sales data, industry-specific multiples, and your real financials. No hype, no inflated numbers to win your listing — just the same math a serious buyer will use.
Whether you're selling this year, planning an exit in five, or buying your first business, the process starts with knowing the real number.
SERVICES
What We Do
1. Business Valuation Services
A confidential, professional valuation of your business based on Seller's Discretionary Earnings (SDE), current industry multiples, and recent comparable sales nationwide. You get a defensible value range and the exact math behind it — free, whether you list with us or not.
2. Sell-Side Brokerage
Full representation from valuation to closing: professional deal packaging, confidential national buyer marketing, NDA-protected showings, buyer financial screening, offer negotiation, and closing coordination. You keep running the business; we run the sale. Success fee paid at closing — nothing upfront.
3. Buyer Representation & Acquisition Search
Looking to buy a business? We help acquisition entrepreneurs and investors find, evaluate, and finance main street businesses — including SBA loan guidance and verifying that the seller's financials hold up under diligence.
4. Exit Planning
Selling in 3–5 years? The highest-value exits are planned, not rushed. We identify what's dragging your multiple down today — owner dependence, messy books, customer concentration — and build a plan to fix it before you list.
HOW IT WORKS
From "What's It Worth?" to Sold — In 4 Steps
Step 1 — Free Confidential Valuation
Fill out the form below. We review your industry, revenue, and earnings, then deliver a market value range built from current comparable sales — not calculator guesswork. Confidential from the first conversation.
Step 2 — Prepare & Package
If you decide to sell, we recast your financials to show true owner earnings, build a professional confidential information memorandum, and fix the presentation issues that scare buyers off.
Step 3 — Market to Buyers Nationwide
Your listing goes in front of a national pool of pre-screened buyers — without your name on it. Every buyer signs an NDA before learning your identity. Employees, customers, and competitors stay in the dark.
Step 4 — Negotiate & Close
We manage offers, negotiation, due diligence, financing (including SBA), and closing coordination. Most main street sales close in 6–12 months; we can't promise a timeline — no honest broker can — but we manage every step to keep the deal moving.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What are business valuation services, and why do I need one before selling?
A business valuation is a professional analysis of what your business would sell for in today's market, based on your earnings (usually Seller's Discretionary Earnings, or SDE), industry multiples, and recent comparable sales. Owners who skip this step usually price too high (and sit unsold for a year) or too low (and leave six figures on the table). A valuation gives you a defensible asking price before your business ever hits the market.
Do I really need a broker, or can I sell it myself and save the commission?
You can sell yourself — some owners do. But here's the honest math: a good broker typically increases the final sale price through competitive buyer marketing, professional packaging, and negotiation, often by more than the fee itself. A broker also keeps the sale confidential, screens out unqualified buyers, and manages the 6–9 month process while you keep running the business. Owners who sell alone often see revenue drop mid-sale because their attention splits — which lowers the price a buyer will pay.
How much are business broker fees?
Most business brokers charge a success fee of roughly 8–12% of the final sale price for main street businesses, paid at closing — not upfront. You pay nothing if the business doesn't sell. Historical industry data shows professionally represented businesses tend to sell closer to asking price than owner-listed businesses, which is why the fee frequently nets out for the seller.
How is my business value actually calculated?
For most main street businesses, value = SDE × an industry multiple. We recast your financials to find your true owner earnings (salary, perks, one-time expenses added back), then apply the multiple range buyers are currently paying in your industry and size bracket. A plumbing company and a law practice with identical revenue can have very different values — industry, transferability, and owner dependence all move the multiple.
How long does it take to sell a business?
Most main street businesses take 6–12 months from listing to closing, depending on industry, price, financing, and how clean the books are. We can't promise a specific timeline — anyone who does is selling you something. What we can do is show you the factors that speed sales up (clean financials, documented processes, seller financing options) and help you fix them before listing.
