Why December Is a Power Month for Buying and Selling a Business
Most people think December is when things slow down.
In reality?
For businesses for sale and CRE deals, it’s exactly the opposite.
Here’s why this season is so powerful:
– Owners are thinking about retirement, lifestyle, and next chapters.
– Buyers want to deploy capital before year-end or position themselves for Q1.
– Lenders, CPAs, and attorneys are geared up to close deals and plan for taxes.
That combination creates one thing: motivation on both sides of the table.
And when you combine motivated buyers and sellers with a seasoned brokerage team, you get what we’re seeing right now at B3:
Real conversations. Real offers. Real closings.

Why Work With a Business Broker (Instead of Going It Alone)?
Buying or selling a business or CRE isn’t like buying a house or a car.
There are:
– Confidentiality concerns
– Complex financials to evaluate
– Staff, leases, contracts, and licenses to navigate
– Banks and SBA lenders to coordinate
– Emotions on both sides that need real management
Doing this on your own can be overwhelming. In some cases, it can be impossible.
That’s why smart entrepreneurs, investors, and owners partner with a business broker:
– We screen buyers and protect confidentiality.
– We help price businesses realistically based on the market.
– We coordinate with attorneys, CPAs, lenders, and landlords.
– We keep deals moving, because time kills deals.
At B3, our brokers don’t get paid to hang a listing on a website.
We get paid to close business deals.

How We Maximize Exposure for Your Business or CRE
If you’re a seller, you want one thing: qualified buyers at a strong price, in a reasonable time frame.
To get there, we combine:
1. Marketing That Actually Works
We use:
– Facebook – for reach and local buzz
– LinkedIn – for professional and investor attention
– X – for timely updates and market insight
– Instagram – for visual storytelling and behind-the-scenes content
Every post is a digital handshake that reminds the market:
“We have serious businesses for sale and CRE opportunities in Georgia and South Carolina.”
Visibility → Conversations → Offers → Closings.
2. In‑Person Networking That Builds Trust
Digital marketing opens the door. Relationships close the deal.
You’ll find B3 brokers at:
– Chamber of Commerce events
– Business and networking socials
– Coffee meetings with past clients
– Lunches with CPAs, attorneys, bankers, and referral partners
Those relationships bring us quality buyers and sellers.
You benefit from that network every time we market your listing.
3. A True Team Approach
When you list your business or CRE with B3:
– You’re not getting one person making a few calls.
– You’re getting a team of brokers talking to their buyers, their contacts, and their networks about your opportunity.
We collaborate behind the scenes so your listing isn’t “just another listing.”
It becomes a priority.
The Questions You’re Already Asking
To help you get clear, here are some of the questions we hear most often—and straightforward answers:
“Is now really a good time to buy a business?”
Yes. We’re seeing:
– Motivated sellers (retiring, relocating, repositioning)
– Solid financing options still available
– Strong demand in coastal and metro markets like Savannah, Atlanta, Macon, and Charleston
If you have capital, financing, or retirement plan funds (via ROBS structures, for example) ready to deploy, this is a strong window.
“What about selling my business—should I wait until next year?”
In many cases, waiting costs more than it helps.
Here’s why:
– Buyer demand is high right now.
– You can capture year-end financial performance cleanly.
– Serious buyers want to start 2026 in control of a new asset.
If you’re thinking about selling in the next 6–18 months, this is the time to start the conversation and get a valuation estimate.
“Where can I see all your businesses for sale?”
Every active listing we can publicly market is right here:
From there, you can:
– Review high-level financials
– See asking prices
– Submit a confidentiality agreement (NDA)
– Get more detailed information from a broker
“How do I know I’m not overpaying (or underpricing) my business?”
That’s where our valuation experience comes in.
We use:
– Market comps from similar closed transactions
– Industry multiples
– Cash flow and SDE/EBITDA analysis
– Asset and real estate considerations, when applicable
You can start here:
Then we’ll walk you through the numbers in plain English.
