Personally i think they are the greatest load of 'artists' .

One 'business broker' put me in touch with a company (retail) that gave me their 'estimated' accounts on a piece of paper. When I looked for VAT receipts etc - blank. The Broker did nothing and refused to get involved. But still wanted 20%

Another broker hasn't rang me back after three calls to his to get details on a company he is 'selling'

And finally a broker wanted to sell me a website for €35k - no analytics, unfinished and he couldnt tell me how he came up with the price. Dick Turpin.

All I am saying - they are bridges, nothing more. Will do nothing for you and will expect a big chunk of the sale (which i would try and get around)

Sounds like some estate agents have turned themselves into business brokers.

Have you tried some of the trade magazines in relation to your business Jamesy.

"Sounds like some estate agents have turned themselves into business brokers" - !! Just what i was thinking - or were recruitment consultants.
