What business brokerage means at Mava
A business broker guides owners through the sale or purchase of a company, handling the parts that protect value and confidentiality: pricing, marketing, buyer screening, negotiation and closing. At Mava Business Advisors we represent owners selling established, owner-operated businesses, and buyers searching for the right acquisition, throughout the tri-state area.
Every engagement starts with a clear, defensible price and a process built to keep your business running while it is on the market. Most of our fee is success-based and paid at closing, so our incentives are aligned with your outcome from day one.
What is included
- A confidential business valuation grounded in EBITDA multiples and market comparables
- Professional marketing that never reveals your identity or location without a signed NDA
- Access to a vetted network of qualified, funded buyers
- Buyer screening, offer management and deal structuring
- Coordination of due diligence and closing logistics
- Optional real estate handled together with the business through our Brix partnership
How the process works
Consultation
A free, confidential conversation about your goals, timing and the business.
Valuation & prep
We price the business and package it to present at its best.
Marketing & matching
We reach vetted buyers under NDA and field qualified interest.
Negotiate & close
We structure the deal and manage it through to a clean closing.
Why it matters
Selling a business is one of the largest financial events of an owner's life, and most owners only do it once. A broker protects you from the common mistakes: pricing on a guess, tipping off staff and competitors, or negotiating against an experienced buyer without representation. The right process can mean a materially better price and far less risk to the business while it sells.
Why choose Mava for business brokerage
Confidentiality first
We market without exposing your identity, and gate every detail behind an NDA.
A real buyer network
Qualified, funded buyers, ready to move on the right opportunity.
Business and real estate together
One team and one closing for the company and the property, via Brix.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to sell my business?
Most brokerage engagements are success-based, meaning the majority of our fee is paid only at closing. We walk through the full structure in your first, no-cost consultation.
How long does it take to sell a business?
It varies by industry, size and financials, but many sales run several months from listing to close. We give you a realistic timeline after the initial valuation.
Will my employees or competitors find out?
Not through us. We market confidentially and require signed non-disclosure agreements before sharing any identifying details with a buyer.
How do you decide what my business is worth?
We combine EBITDA or SDE multiples, discounted cash flow and comparable sales. Start with our valuation calculator for an instant estimate.
Do you help buyers too?
Yes. We represent buyers searching for acquisitions and can guide you through due diligence and M&A on the buy side.
