About Us

Founded in 1978, Vermont Business Brokers is currently being operated by the principal broker helping clients successfully purchase and sell Vermont businesses. Having represented clients since 1994 VBB understands the needs of both buyers and sellers. This understanding is the cornerstone of our continued success in getting to closings. The transfer of business ownership is a complex and detailed process that requires experience of a seasoned professional.

Trying to manage a business while juggling potential buyers can be very difficult. Filtering through potential buyers, answering questions and sharing information with the qualified individuals is just one of the tasks faced when marketing a business. VBB takes pride in having most of the answers required to make sure that sellers can focus on what they do best, running their business.

Consideration of confidentiality is of utmost importance to both the buyers and sellers. VBB takes the time to qualify buyers and sellers before the release of any confidential information.

VBB is happy to offer consultations regarding business in Vermont. Additionally, VBB can refer you to a number of local professionals who can advise you on legal, financial, and tax-related matters.

If, VBB does not have the particular type of business listed for which you are searching, a search can be conducted for you. Our network is still growing after 43 years and VBB can reach down many paths in knocking on doors of businesses we have worked with in the past and which may not be for sale at this time. Please don’t hesitate to contact us regarding your interests.
