Main Street Dealmakers: How to Broker Business Sales (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798996702916)

The Silver Tsunami Is Here. Over 4.5 Million Businesses Will Change Hands This Decade. Advisors are needed to guide those transactions. Will You Answer the Call?

Every small business is eventually bought, sold, or shut down. With millions of Baby Boomer owners retiring-more than $10 trillion in business value on the move-most of these companies will close their doors instead of selling, unless a skilled business broker steps in. Main Street Dealmakers is the hands-on guide to how to sell a business, how to become a business broker, and build a lucrative career in mergers and acquisitions. Written for beginners who want a real roadmap, not Wall Street theory.

Business schools teach billion-dollar mergers and leveraged buyouts. Almost no one teaches the craft behind the $500,000 to $25 million Main Street deals: the cafés, CPA firms, roofing companies, and small manufacturers that are the backbone of the economy. Daniel Talbott wrote the book he couldn't find when he entered the field. No MBA. No decade in investment banking. In a single year he earned $409,800 in success fees, with $19.5 million in transactions originated over 2 years-proof this work is meaningful, lucrative, and attainable.

Inside, You'll Learn How To:

• Find sellers through proven prospecting and a repeatable sales process
• Value a small business and build a marketing package that attracts serious buyers
• Vet buyers and run a professional sell-side process from start to finish
• Negotiate offers, LOIs, and deal structure-where deals are won or lost
• Navigate due diligence, contracts, closing, and transition without losing the deal
• Earn success fees and retainers on both the buy side and sell side
• Replace feast-or-famine income with systems that create predictable deal-flow

This isn't an academic textbook written from a corner office, it's a field guide from the trenches of Main Street M&A. Whether you're an aspiring business broker, M&A advisor, fractional CFO, accountant, attorney, financial advisor, real estate agent, enterprise sales pro or entrepreneur looking for your next chapter, you'll learn how dealmakers actually think, structure their practices, and turn one refined skillset into exponential, compounding income.

Because you're paid for judgment, not hours, a single deal can outperform years in any other profession. One strong year can change your family's financial trajectory for generations.

If you're the natural connector who "has a guy" for every situation, you already have what it takes. The rest is just learning the process. Scroll up and grab your copy of Main Street Dealmakers today.
