Sell a Business in Phoenix & Arizona with Confidence
Whether you own a restaurant in Phoenix, a contracting company in Scottsdale, a professional services firm in Tucson, or a retail business in Mesa, CGK Business Sales is the Arizona business broker you can trust to get the job done right.
Selling a business is one of the most significant financial decisions you’ll ever make. Most Arizona business owners have never sold a business before — and that’s exactly why working with an experienced business broker matters. We handle everything from valuation and marketing to buyer qualification, negotiations, and closing — so you can stay focused on running your business while we find the right buyer at the right price.
What Is Your Phoenix Business Worth?
Every Phoenix business valuation we perform considers your financial statements, market position, customer concentration, growth trajectory, and current buyer demand in the Arizona market. Unlike automated valuation tools, our process accounts for the intangible factors that drive real deal value — your reputation, your team, your customer relationships, and your competitive position in the Phoenix metro.
A CGK business valuation is completely free and confidential. There is no obligation to list your business, and many owners use our valuation as a planning tool years before they are ready to sell.
Phoenix Business Broker FAQ
How long does it take to sell a Phoenix business?
Most Phoenix businesses sell within 6–12 months. Timing depends on industry, asking price accuracy, and how prepared your financials are when we go to market.
Will my employees or competitors find out?
No. Confidentiality is central to everything we do. Buyers sign NDAs before receiving any identifying information, and we never disclose your business publicly.
What does a business broker charge?
CGK works on a success-fee basis — we only earn a commission when your business sells. There are no upfront fees and no retainers.
What size businesses does CGK represent?
We work with business owners generating $1.5 million to $100 million in annual revenue and $300,000 to $10 million in owner’s profit.
