Why pay 10-12% Commissions when there's a better plan out there. Every year an estimated million businesses are sold by owners just like you. A typical business broker will charge a 10-12% commission, however here at BLS Consulting, we believe in offering programs that meet the specific needs of each business owner at a reduced rate than other brokers and M&A professionals. Based on our experience, prospective business sellers struggle with many of the same questions: "Is it the right time to sell my business?" "How do I figure out the real value of my business so I sell at the right price?" "How do I know I'm taking all the right legal and financial precautions?" "Who can I really trust to help me find the best buyer for my business?" BLS Consulting has the answers to these questions.

How do I value a retail business?
Valuing a retail business involves considering several factors, including annual revenue, profit margins, location, real estate, and market conditions.

Retail revenue multiples typically range from 0.37 to 0.85, with the median at 0.56. Earnings multiples range from 1.79 to 3.50, with the median at 2.53.
