Let us look locally first. For Los Angeles, the page lists 22 business brokers, all in Los Angeles County. That is a long list, so start by matching the firm to the type of business you own, then speak with a few before you commit to one.

The most frequently offered services are general business brokerage or M&A work (8 of 22), a named industry focus (7 of 22) and a confidential or NDA process (6 of 22). 19 of the 22 are members of CABB, IBBA, or M&A Source, which shows professional involvement but is not a license. Credentials such as CBI or M&AMI come up for 7 of the 22, and those are designations, not substitutes for a license. Reviews total 111 on Google at an average of 4.4 stars, but most belong to one broker, so look at how many reviews sit behind each rating.

When money comes up, ask how and when the firm is paid, what is billed on top of the main fee, and when each payment comes due. Before you sign anything, request a written engagement that spells out what is being sold, how long it runs, and who handles your file. On confidentiality, ask how the firm screens buyers, and who at the firm will see your information.

Confirm credentials early: a paid sale of a California business opportunity, meaning the business and its goodwill, generally calls for a real estate license, and the Department of Real Estate's public lookup shows whether a given license is current. If a salesperson will handle your file, make sure they work for a licensed broker, which is the Department of Real Estate's own advice to consumers. Owners who want a wider field can also open the pages for Beverly Hills (6 brokers), Santa Monica (5) and Encino (6).

Common questions about business brokers in Los Angeles

Do I need a licensed broker to sell my business in Los Angeles?

As a rule, a person who sells a business opportunity for compensation must be a licensed real estate broker or a salesperson working under one. A business opportunity includes the sale or lease of an existing business and its goodwill, so the rules reach sales of ordinary businesses like a shop or a restaurant.

What should I look for in a broker's engagement agreement in Los Angeles?

Before you sign, make sure the engagement will name the services, the people on your file, the term, and what happens if the deal never closes. Take your time with it, and ask questions about any clause you do not understand before you sign.

What protects my privacy when I work with a business broker in Los Angeles?

On the services side, 6 of the 22 run a confidential or NDA process, and you can ask every firm about it. Ask how buyers are vetted first, how the business is described to buyers without naming it, and how inquiries are handled so your name stays out of it.

What should I ask about fees when I hire a business broker in Los Angeles?

Pay arrangements are not the same everywhere, so the directory does not quote prices, and each broker can give you the details directly. Ask each broker what its fee covers and when it is due, and whether anything changes if you find the buyer yourself.

What should I ask a Los Angeles business broker on a first call?

Speak with at least two brokers and ask each one about the kinds of businesses it has sold before you pick one. Firms that do M&A work usually take on larger companies than Main Street brokers do, so find out which end of the market a firm works in and whether it has experience with your industry.

Does a stock sale change anything when I sell my business in Los Angeles?

When a deal is structured as a stock sale, securities rules can come into play, so settle the structure with your attorney first, then confirm what applies with the state and federal securities regulators. This directory cannot tell you where that line falls for your deal, so get advice specific to your sale.
