How to Buy a Business Without a Broker

Lucas and Luna explore the world of buying a business directly from the owner, without a broker. They break down the pros, the risks, and the actual search process — from sourcing off-market deals to negotiating directly with sellers. The episode centers on a real case: a $2 million manufacturing company bought by a first-time buyer who found the deal through a trade association. Lucas explains why broker-exclusive listings often carry a premium, and how buyers can tap into networks of retiring owners who'd rather skip the 10% fee. Luna pushes back on the time cost of going solo, and the hosts walk through the legal and financial steps a buyer can't skip. A concrete guide for anyone considering a private acquisition without a middleman. #Business #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #PrivateSale #BusinessBroker #OffMarketDeal #DirectBuy #MergersAndAcquisitions #SmallBusiness #BuyingABusiness #ExitPlanning #OwnerFinancing #ConfidentialityAgreement #LetterOfIntent #DueDiligence #TradeAssociation #ManufacturingCompany #Negotiation Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
