BUSINESS BROKERAGE

High-Quality, Client-Centric Business Brokerage Services

At CRS, we work with business owners throughout the life cycle of their business, helping them buy and sell commercial real estate as they grow. An integral part of that life cycle involves helping businesses and CEOs plan their exit, especially when it comes to selling their business or real estate as they transition to retirement. With over 25 years of experience, CRS is among the best local business brokers in Central Minnesota and is well equipped to represent our clients throughout the entire real estate process—from scouting until the deal is closed.

How Business Brokerage Works

After an initial consultation, we provide our clients with a detailed valuation of their business and real estate, as well as a comprehensive marketing strategy designed to maximize their business’ exposure to the active pool of potential buyers. 

Once a buyer is procured, CRS works diligently on our client’s behalf to negotiate the terms of the deal and ensure our client gets the best possible price for their assets. Throughout the entire process, CRS stays with our client to ensure all business transactions are closed quickly and without issue.

When Should You Meet with a Business Broker?

It’s best to start the brokerage process early. Clients should begin planning to sell their business between two and five years before they’re hoping to sell. During that three-year window, business owners can take steps to improve their position at the negotiation table, including organizing the necessary paperwork and bolstering revenue streams.

“We give our clients the information they need to make an informed decision on their next step.  There can be a lot that goes into preparing a business for sale and having a trusted advisor that has been through the process numerous times is invaluable.”
