Why work with a local broker
Dublin owners often hear from sophisticated buyers. Our CFA-led team knows how to review an offer, explain the structure, and defend the financials during due diligence. We focus on what the seller will actually receive, not just the headline price.
Our process
- Valuation. We review your financials, identify supportable add-backs, and compare the business with similar sales. Then we explain the range and the math behind it.
- Confidential marketing. Buyers first receive a profile that does not identify the company. We release the name only after a non-disclosure agreement and a financial review.
- Offers and negotiation. We manage buyer meetings and letters of intent, compare the price and terms, and help you decide which offer is worth pursuing.
- Due diligence and closing. We keep the buyer, CPA, attorney, and lender moving and deal with questions as they come up.
Frequently asked questions
How much is my Dublin business worth?
Most owner-operated Dublin-area businesses are valued on SDE, or Seller's Discretionary Earnings. Larger companies are usually valued on EBITDA. The right multiple depends on the industry, recurring revenue, customer concentration, growth, and how much the business relies on the owner. We review the financials before giving you a range.
How long does it take to sell a business in Dublin?
A prepared Dublin business often closes six to nine months after going to market. Poor financial records, unresolved legal issues, or a buyer's financing can extend the timeline. We address the problems we can before buyers see the business.
What does a Dublin business broker charge?
We explain our fee structure before you decide to move forward, so you know what you will pay and when.
Do you sell businesses outside Dublin?
Yes. We represent sellers across Central Ohio including Columbus, Dublin, Westerville, New Albany, Powell, Delaware, Worthington, and the surrounding counties. Buyers come from across the country.
