How much does it cost to use Exit Clue as my business broker?

Zero upfront fees. We work on a success-based commission of 5–10% of the final sale price (with a $15,000 minimum) — paid only at closing.

How long does it take to sell a business in San Diego?

Most San Diego business sales close in 3–9 months from listing. Clean financials, realistic pricing, and SBA pre-qualification can shorten the timeline significantly.

How do you keep the sale of my business confidential?

We use blind listings (no business name, no exact address), require NDAs from every prospective buyer, and only release identifying details after pre-qualification.

What size businesses do you broker?

Exit Clue specializes in San Diego businesses with $500K–$10M in annual revenue and at least $50K+ in EBITDA — the lower-middle market sweet spot for individual buyers and small private equity.

Will my business qualify for SBA financing?

Most profitable businesses with 3+ years of clean tax returns qualify for SBA 7(a) loans. We pre-qualify your business before listing so buyers can move fast.

Do you offer free business valuations?

Yes. We provide a no-obligation valuation based on your financials, industry-specific multiples, and current San Diego market conditions — free and confidential.

Do I need to keep my restaurant profitable while selling?

Yes — buyers value trailing-twelve-months performance heavily. A revenue dip during the sale process can drop your offer by 20% or more. Stay focused on operations.

Will my staff find out I'm selling?

Not from us. We use blind teasers, NDAs, and structured site visits posed as 'consultants' or 'investors' so the team only learns at closing on your terms.

What about the liquor license?

California ABC licenses transfer with the business but require buyer approval and a 30–60 day escrow. We handle the timing so the license stays active through close.

What does Exit Clue charge?

Zero upfront fees. We work on a success-based commission of 5–10% of the final sale price (with a $15,000 minimum) — paid only at closing.

How do you keep the sale confidential?

Blind listings, NDAs from every prospective buyer, and we only release identifying details after pre-qualification. Your team never finds out.
