Hiring a Broker
What Does “TIE” Mean To You When Selling or Buying a Business?
When you think of “TIE” most will assume it’s something a man wears with a suit, or it could mean a game of football or baseball ends with the same score. It can also have the meaning of a family tie. I could go on and on about thoughts of what “TIE” means, however, the Webster dictionary definition has several meanings too:
- To fasten, attach or close by means of a tie
- To form a knot or bow in
- To bring together firmly: unite
When you’re working with a Sunbelt Business Broker like Bill Nicholson from Sunbelt Dallas Metro, a leading business brokerage and M&A advisory firm in Dallas, Texas, to buy or sell a business, the “TIE” are the core values he upholds firmly.

When a business owner or potential business owner is looking to invest in or sell an established business these are the traits an individual should look for. Does the business broker you’re working with have these traits? If not, it may be time to investigate a new business broker to help you.
Sometimes finding a business broker that matches your life goals with selling or buying a business can be daunting. Not all brokerage firms offer these core values. Do these values match yours? We hope they do!
The new year always brings big goals and aspirations. It may be to buy a new business that you have always been dreaming about. Or it may be time to live the good life and sell the already established business. Whatever the reason it is, today is the day to start that process.
