Why Your Business Broker is the Quarterback of the Sale.

When it comes to selling a business, your broker isn’t just there to find buyers—they’re the quarterback, the linchpin holding the entire process together. From calling the plays and coordinating with attorneys, accountants, and lenders, to strategically marketing your business and vetting prospects, a skilled broker steers the transaction from kickoff to closing.

An experienced broker understands the nuances of business valuations, market trends, and buyer psychology. They know how to position your business to attract serious, qualified buyers who appreciate its true value. But beyond technical expertise, your broker should be someone you trust and feel comfortable communicating with.

Selling a business can be an emotional roller coaster. Having a steady, grounded advisor in your corner helps keep things on track and ensures you have the support you need every step of the way.

Thinking about selling? Make sure you have the right quarterback leading your team.

What Does Your Perfect Exit Look Like?

Whether your dream is to sell to a strategic buyer, pass your business to the next generation, or partner with private equity, your endgame will shape every decision you make along the way.

Too often, business owners put off planning for their exit—thinking there’s always more time. But the truth is, the most successful transitions start years in advance. Early planning gives you the power to maximize value, minimize surprises, and ensure your legacy lives on.

Don’t wait to take these necessary steps. Start the conversation, seek out the right advisors, and arm yourself with knowledge. Your future self—and your business—will thank you.

Knowledge is power. What does your perfect exit look like?

Ever thought about your business exit strategy? 🏁

Whether you’re just starting out or have been at it for years, it’s never too early to think about how you’ll eventually step away from your business. Why? Because (spoiler alert!) everyone exits their business one day—planned or not.

Here are a few of the most common reasons business owners exit:
- Retirement (the dream scenario! 🏖️)
- Selling to a new owner
- Passing it on to family
- Health issues
- Burnout
- Unexpected life events

Here’s the kicker: Retirement is the only one you get to choose on your own terms. The rest? Well, life happens!

That’s why planning for your exit—especially if you want to retire on your own timeline—is so important. A little planning now can mean a smoother transition, more options, and a better outcome for you, your team, and your legacy.

So, what’s your plan? If you don’t have one yet, it’s never too late (or too early) to start the conversation!

Don’t Let SBA Rule Changes Stall Your Sale: Choose a Broker Who Knows the Ropes

Thinking about selling your business?

Now more than ever, it’s critical to work with a broker who truly understands the ins and outs of SBA financing. The right broker will know how to navigate the latest SBA rule changes—and help you get your deal financed and closed.

Here’s what’s shaking up the market:

Starting June 1, 2025, the SBA is rolling out big changes to how seller notes can be used as part of a buyer’s equity injection in SBA 7(a) loans. Here’s the quick rundown:

Full Standby Required:

Seller notes used for equity must now be on full standby (no principal or interest payments) for the entire SBA loan term—not just 24 months.

50% Limit: Seller notes can only make up half of the required equity injection. For example, if a buyer needs to inject 20%, only 10% can be a seller note on standby.

No Payments Allowed: No interest-only payments during the standby period. The seller note gets paid only after the SBA loan is fully repaid.

What does this mean for you?

Buyers will need to bring more cash to the table, and sellers may have to wait up to 10 years to get paid on a note. These changes make it more important than ever to have a broker who understands the nuances and can guide you through creative deal structures.

At Trinity Business Brokers, we’re on top of every detail—including SBA guidelines and programs like the Finance Authority of Maine. We’re proactive, experienced, and ready to help you navigate these new rules with confidence.

If you’re thinking about selling, make sure you’re interviewing brokers who can truly help you get your deal financed and done in this new landscape.
