• Paragraph 1 – What it means to work with a broker/benefits of working with a broker – mention how they are involved with both buying and selling a business.
  • Aim the focus of these articles toward business owners who are looking to sell.  Avoid focusing on individuals who are trying to buy a business.
  • While it is ok to mention using a broker for buying, the content should NOT be buyer-focused.
