Selling a salon business can be difficult, because it’s such a niche market.

It may be tempting to approach other hair stylists you know, but it’s recommended to seek help from a professional business broker who can advertise your salon to relevant buyers and facilitate the sale. Are you ready to leave behind your scissors and hairdryer? Hilton Smythe has successfully sold hundreds of hair salons nationwide and is in a good position to find a suitable buyer.

Are you aware how much it costs to sell a business? When choosing a business broker don’t forget to compare fees, which can vary greatly between agents. You’ll likely have to pay for advertising, financial advice and legal services separately unless they are included in the overall fee.
