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.

How long until I can fully retire after selling?

Private practice sales typically require a 60–180 day transition. DSO deals often require 2–5 years of post-close clinical work. We match the deal to your retirement timeline.

Most San Diego dental sales include key staff retention. Buyers expect to keep your hygienists and front-desk lead — they're a big part of the goodwill being purchased.

How long will my sale take?

Most San Diego deals close in 3–9 months from listing. Clean books, realistic pricing, and SBA pre-qualification can compress that window.

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.
