How do I find an agent to help me sell my business?

You will want to find a business broker licensed to do so. Often you can get a great referral from any commercial broker in your area.

I would look for an agent who sells commercial property.

Ask family, friends and/or business associates who have sold a business in the past. They may know a realtor they had with a positive experience. Google realtors who specialize in selling businesses in your industry or niche. Interview a few potential realtors sto discuss their experience, marketing strategies and fees.

It really depends on what type of business. For example, is the business dependent on the location? Or could the business be sold without the buyer also taking possession of the property? While a commercial real estate broker may be your best bet, if the business is "one with" the property, and the property also includes a dwelling, a residential real estate broker may be a better option.
