Some of them require intense seller attention and input, but some don’t. I’ve had sellers wonder if there’s nothing going on with their opportunity when they don’t hear from our office daily. - [Your Broker’s Most Powerful Tools](https://www.myfloridabusinessbroker.com/a-brokers-most-powerful-tools/): When you’re ready to list your business for sale, you need an expert partner on your team to secure the best price, the best terms, and the  smoothest, fastest possible closing.

Even if you’re busy right now, one step that takes just a couple of minutes could provide enormous value as you head into the new year. - [Trust Can Make or Break a Deal](https://www.myfloridabusinessbroker.com/trust-can-make-or-break-a-deal/): Business brokers will tell you that trust is the most important intangible in a deal.

Either the math works for the buyer, or they’ll move on to the next opportunity. But numbers alone don’t really tell the story of what happened in your company over the last three to five years (the usual period a lender and buyer will examine and base an offer on). - [Add Updating Software to your Pre-Sale Checklist](https://www.myfloridabusinessbroker.com/add-updating-software-to-your-pre-sale-checklist/): I’ve encountered this issue a couple of times in the past few weeks, so it’s worth addressing here.

Here’s the math on that: a 10X multiple of zero is zero. - [We Both Want the Best Price for Your Business](https://www.myfloridabusinessbroker.com/we-both-want-the-best-price-for-your-business/): Every seller has this conversation with their broker: What’s the top price we can list my business for?
