Business Listing Agreement Template

A business listing agreement is between a business owner seeking to sell and an agent who pays a commission based on the final sales price. The agent is hired to market the business to achieve the highest sales price possible. The sale may include equipment, property interest (such as real estate or a lease in place), training, and other assets.

Average Commission (%)

Business brokers generally charge a higher rate than standard real estate agents due to businesses being more difficult to sell. According to ExitPromise, a business broker will commonly charge up to 10% for and/or a  minimum fee (between $5,000 to $10,000). For larger businesses, upfront fees (retainer) may be charged due to the amount of financial work and verification.
