About BizBrokerMatch
The un-bought match.
Selling a business is likely the largest transaction of an owner's life. Most owners do it once, with no reference point and no way to know which broker is actually right for their deal. BizBrokerMatch exists to fix that. We give sellers a free valuation, a personalized Exit Intel Report, and 3 broker matches — ranked on fit and track record, never on who paid us.
The thesis
Brokers can't pay to be your match.
Every other broker directory is funded by brokers — through paid placement, featured listings, or profile upgrades that push some names to the top regardless of fit. When the platform's revenue depends on broker spend, the ranking is compromised. Sellers have no way to know whose results they're actually seeing.
We took a different position: sellers trust our results because brokers cannot buy their way into them. A broker's willingness to pay us has zero effect on where they appear in a seller's results.
We do offer a clearly-labeled Featured placement that sits separately from match results and has no effect on a seller's top 3. That's how we make money. We say so plainly.
The vetting method
How we score 3,075 brokers.
Our database combines IBBA membership records, state licensing data, and public professional records — then applies a scoring model that weights the factors that actually correlate with a good transaction outcome.
Verified transactions
Closed deals in declared industries. Self-reported listings don't count.
Client review quality
Transaction-verified reviews confirmed by both buyer and seller.
Industry specialization
Brokers who declare and demonstrate a vertical vs. generalists.
Responsiveness
Response time to introductions. Non-responsive brokers rank lower automatically.
The beachhead
Texas first. Then everywhere.
Texas has 281 active IBBA-member brokers, a high density of service businesses in the $500K–$10M range, and no state income tax — which simplifies deal structuring conversations. We know this market, we have relationships here, and we're proving the model here before expanding nationally.
BizBrokerMatch is built with data on all 50 states and matches sellers everywhere. Texas is where we're recruiting brokers, building track record, and learning what pre-qualified sellers actually need from their advisor.
The evidence behind the pitch
“Owners who sell with the right advisor realize 6–25% higher valuations.”
On a $5M sale, that range is $300K–$1.25M. The difference between the right broker and the wrong one isn't marginal — it's the single highest-leverage decision in the entire exit process.
