Can I sell my business without a broker?

Yes. Built Equity provides the tools, templates, and structured process to run a professional business sale without a broker. You manage NDAs, buyer screening, due diligence, and negotiations directly — with guidance at every stage — at a flat fee rather than an 8-12% commission.

What is a flat fee business broker alternative?

A flat fee business exit platform like Built Equity charges a fixed fee regardless of your sale price — starting at $5,950 — instead of a percentage commission. You keep the difference compared to a typical 8-12% broker commission.

Q: How much does a business broker charge?

Traditional business brokers typically charge 8-12% commission on the final sale price, with minimum fees of $10,000-$15,000 on smaller transactions. On a $2M sale, that is $160,000-$240,000. Built Equity charges a flat fee starting at $5,950 with zero commission — saving most sellers $150,000 or more.

How Selling With a Broker Usually Works

Broker takes over the relationship

Limited visibility into buyer conversations

Broker controls the timeline

You're dependent on their effort and attention

You give up control, transparency, and a significant portion of your proceeds.
