Sell Your Business Without a Broker
You don't need a broker to sell — you need a buyer. We're the buyer. Deal with us directly, skip the commissions, and keep the process private.
Skip the broker, keep more of your sale
A broker's job is to find a buyer and take a commission — often 8% to 12% of the sale price — for making the introduction. When the buyer is already sitting across from you, that middle layer just adds cost, time, and a public listing you may not want. Valley Acquisitions is a group of operators who buy businesses directly, so there's no broker to pay and no listing to manage.
Selling direct means you talk to the actual decision-maker from the first call. The process is more private, usually faster, and free of the commissions and retainers that eat into your proceeds. If you'd still like your attorney or accountant involved, we welcome it — dealing direct doesn't mean going it alone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Selling without a broker — common questions
Can I sell my business without a broker?
Yes. A broker's role is to find a buyer — but when you sell to Valley Acquisitions, the buyer is already at the table. You deal with us directly, with no listing and no commission, and can involve your own attorney or accountant for the paperwork.
Should I use a broker to sell my business?
A broker can help if you want your business marketed to a wide pool of buyers and don't mind the commission and public exposure. If you'd rather sell privately, quickly, and without paying a success fee, selling directly to a buyer like us is often the better fit.
How much does a business broker cost?
Business brokers typically charge a success fee of roughly 8–12% of the sale price, sometimes with an upfront retainer as well. Selling directly to us removes that commission entirely.
Is selling without a broker safe?
It can be very safe when you keep your own advisors involved. We encourage you to have your attorney review the purchase agreement and your CPA weigh in on the terms. Selling direct removes the broker, not the professional guidance.
Who handles the paperwork if there's no broker?
We do, alongside your advisors. We prepare and coordinate the purchase agreement and closing documents, and your attorney and accountant review them on your behalf — the same protection you'd have with a broker, without the commission.
