    How it works

    Four steps. One fee, at the very end.

    1. A valuation report with a range bar, a ledger and a balance by the window

      Get your free valuation

      See your range with no email, built from what similar businesses sold for.

    2. An advisor in a quiet library offering the empty chair across the desk

      Talk it through

      On a free call we'll quote your fee. You get it in writing and sign with one click.

    3. Hands placing the last folder into a box of papers and photos

      We prepare and sell

      Your advisor builds the materials, finds buyers and handles every offer.

    4. The owner hands the keys to the buyer over a signed agreement

      Paid at closing

      Our fee comes from escrow or the buyer's closing funds, when you're paid.

    The success fee

    Success fee only. Paid only at closing.

    Our fee is set for each business. We'll quote yours on our first call and put it in writing before you sign.

    • Set for each business

      Every sale is different, so we set the fee for each one. We'll quote yours on our first call.

    • Paid only at closing

      It's paid from the sale, when you're paid. If your business doesn't sell, you owe us nothing.

    • No retainer or upfront fee

      No listing fee, no marketing charges and no monthly bills.

    • In writing before you sign

      Your engagement letter states the fee before any work starts.

    Questions

    Fair questions, plain answers.

    Anything else? Write to legend@bridgebook.io.

    Why don't you publish a rate?
    Every sale is different, so we set the fee for each business. We'll quote yours on our first call, and your engagement letter states it before any work starts.
    What if my business doesn't sell?
    You owe us nothing. The fee is due only when a sale closes.
    When and how is the fee paid?
    At closing, from escrow or the buyer's closing funds, at the same time you're paid. You don't write us a check later.
    Are there other costs in a sale?
    Your own lawyer and accountant, or a quality of earnings review (an outside check of your numbers) if you choose one, are paid to them, not to us.
    Do buyers pay you?
    Not to use the marketplace. Browsing, the NDA and the deal book are free. If you want us to find a business for you, buy-side advisory is a separate paid service.Buy-side advisory
    Do you pay for referrals?
    Yes. Introduce a seller or a buyer and earn 20% of the success fee we collect on their first closed deal. Free to join.Referral program
