Selling a business in Boston starts with understanding what you have built and what you want from the sale. Synergy Business Brokers works with owners of profitable companies with annual revenue of $700,000 to $250 million or more. We offer a free, confidential consultation and a business valuation to help you consider your options.
Our experience includes construction, manufacturing, distribution, healthcare, technology, services, transportation, and engineering. We consider your financial performance, customer relationships, team, and growth opportunities when recommending a potential asking price.
If our approach and valuation align with your goals, we can move forward with confidential marketing. There are no upfront brokerage fees, and our brokerage commission is earned when your company sells.
Synergy has been selling businesses since 2002. Our Massachusetts-based Vice President of M&A, Lincoln Taylor, brings more than 20 years of business brokerage experience and works with owners throughout New England.
Our database of more than 40,000 potential buyers gives us a broad starting point, while targeted outreach helps us find prospects suited to your particular business. We look beyond interest alone to assess financial resources, industry experience, and the buyer’s plans for the company.
Massachusetts engineering business seller Don Frydryk described his experience working with Lincoln:
“It was a pleasure working with you and your guidance was greatly appreciated.”
— Don Frydryk, business seller

A typical sale can take around six to ten months, including finding the right buyer, negotiating an offer, completing due diligence, and closing. Some transactions move more quickly, while others require additional time for financing, approvals, or resolving questions about the business.
We prepare marketing materials that describe the opportunity without publicly naming your company. Prospective buyers sign confidentiality agreements and go through our qualification process before receiving identifying information. We then arrange introductions so you and the interested buyers can discuss the business and determine whether there is a good fit.
As offers develop, we help you compare the purchase price, financing arrangements, transition expectations, and other terms. During due diligence, we coordinate with the buyer and your advisers to address outstanding questions and keep the process moving. Our 15-step sales process explains each stage.
Caring R Us, LLC is one example of our completed sales in Greater Boston. The adult foster care and healthcare staffing business generated over $5 million in annual revenue and served approximately 250 clients. Its services included nurses, home health aides, therapists, and other licensed professionals supporting adult foster care homes, hospitals, and medical offices.
Synergy obtained a full-price offer within one month of beginning the marketing process. Lincoln Taylor handled the transaction, and the business was ultimately acquired by a diversified healthcare company backed by private equity.
The sale illustrates the value of reaching an established industry buyer with the resources to pursue an acquisition. The one-month milestone was the offer, with due diligence and closing following later.
