Legacy Handoff is a business brokerage firm that helps small business owners sell their companies. We guide sellers through valuation, marketing, and negotiations to ensure a smooth handoff of their legacy — all with a focus on maximizing value and maintaining confidentiality.

Unlike most brokers, we do not believe in getting paid for listing, but only for closings. We operate on a success-based model, meaning there are no upfront fees for our services. Legacy Handoff only gets paid when your business is successfully sold. Many brokers will take a retainer fee or charge clients on an hourly basis, before the transaction is even closed. We don't do that. Our compensation comes in the form of a commission on the final sales price and is taken at closing (similar to a real estate transaction). Our commission is competitive and tailored to the size and complexity of the deal—contact us for a free consultation to discuss specifics.

Legacy Handoff works with small to medium-sized businesses across a wide range of industries. Whether you own a service-based company, a subscription business, or a traditional retail operation, we have the expertise to help you hand off your legacy to the right buyer.

The timeline to sell a business can vary widely depending on factors like industry, business size, financial health, and asking price. On average, it can take anywhere from 6 to 12 months to find the right buyer and close the deal. However, businesses in highly sought-after industries or with strong financials may sell more quickly, while others may take longer.

Absolutely. At Legacy Handoff, confidentiality is a top priority. We use discreet marketing strategies and require buyers to sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) before accessing sensitive information, ensuring your business sale remains private until the handoff is complete.

Legacy Handoff leverages our nationwide network of pre-qualified buyers, including investors and operators actively seeking acquisition opportunities. We also employ targeted marketing strategies to attract the right fit for your business, ensuring a seamless and successful handoff.

Legacy Handoff stands out with our legacy-focused approach, combining entrepreneurial experience with a deep commitment to your success. We offer free valuations, no upfront fees, and a personalized process designed to honor your hard work while securing the best possible outcome for your business handoff.

Legacy Handoff brings expertise, market knowledge, and negotiation skills to the process, making the sale smoother and more efficient. We can accurately value your business, market it confidentially to qualified buyers, and help you navigate the complex legal and financial steps involved in the sale. This increases the chances of getting the best possible deal while allowing you to focus on running your business.

We use various valuation methods to determine your business's worth, including comparing it to similar businesses that have sold, assessing current market conditions, and analyzing financial performance (revenue, profit margins, assets, etc.). We may also consider factors like growth potential, industry trends, and any unique aspects of your business that add value.
