Meet Our Team
Seattle, Washington
As experienced business facilitators, there is not much we have not seen when it comes to facilitating business transactions. We would like to put that experience to work for you.
We can make the sometimes overwhelming, complicated, and cumbersome process of selling......manageable. Sharp Business Brokers continues to have great success with "Upper Main Street - Lower Middle Market" business opportunities. Defined as businesses with $500,000 to $10,000,000 in revenues, our passion is to work with business owners as they prepare to sell or transfer their business either through a family or employee buy-out or selling their business to a third party. Each transaction takes on a life of its own and we become personally connected to the business community that we serve.
