Use this industry-specific directory to connect with business brokers who understand how to sell your type of business — from HVAC and construction to assisted living, automotive, retail, hospitality or the entire Business Broker Directory.
Not all business buyers are the same — and neither are all business brokers. When you’re thinking, “I’m ready to sell my business”, it helps to work with a broker who already knows your industry’s margins, staffing challenges, equipment needs, and buyer pool.
This page lets you browse business brokers by industry. Each link below is focused around a specific type of business (for example, “Sell My Plumbing Business” or “Sell My Assisted Living Facility”) so you can quickly get to information, guidance, and deal support tailored to your sector.
These FAQs explain how to use this page to find industry-specific business brokers when you’re ready to sell.
Industry-specific brokers already understand typical margins, key value drivers, and buyer concerns in your sector. When you choose from business brokers by industry, you spend less time explaining basics and more time focusing on pricing, deal structure, and actually getting your business sold.
Scroll to the category that best describes your company, then click the link that matches your situation — for example, “Sell My Plumbing Business” or “Sell My Assisted Living Facility”. From there, you’ll be able to learn more about the process and connect with brokers who regularly work in that industry.
That’s normal. Many businesses overlap categories — for example, a company might combine construction services, maintenance contracts, and retail sales. Choose the link that’s closest to your primary revenue stream, and a broker can help you position the rest of your services or divisions in a way buyers understand.
Most of the industries listed here focus on Main Street and lower middle market businesses. Some brokers prefer deals above a certain revenue or earnings threshold. When you contact them through a “Sell My …” page, they’ll let you know if your business fits their criteria or if there’s a better fit in their network.
Yes, and you should. It’s reasonable to speak with more than one broker in your industry, compare their experience and approach, and choose the one you feel most confident in. The business brokers by industry links on this page are meant to make that first round of conversations easier and more targeted.
