About the Company
Business Brokerage Advisors (BBA) is a lower middle market M&A advisory firm serving closely held, family-owned, and founder-led businesses generally valued between $2 million and $25 million in enterprise value. We provide sell-side and buy-side advisory, business valuations, and exit planning across the broader Midwest.
BBA was founded by Brian Allen — a Certified Business Intermediary and career operator who has built, bought, run, and sold businesses himself. That's our difference: we've sat in the owner's chair, so we understand what's at stake, financially and personally, and we advise accordingly. We run a confidential, disciplined, advisory-led process — backed by a dedicated deal team, financial analysts, and research group — and it shows from the very first conversation: thorough preparation, straight answers, and a team that treats your outcome like its own.
Broker Biography
Introduction
BBA was founded because we've owned businesses just like yours, and we know how hard it is to keep running your company while trying to take your largest asset to market. The traditional brokerage experience in the small business arena is often tough — unprofessional, short on real advice, and prone to leaving you feeling like a number instead of a valued client. We built BBA to fix that.
We work with business owners like you every day to guide the transition of your business to its next owner. From the first engagement call to the closing dinner, you get hands-on M&A expertise, market and industry insight, and a disciplined, advisory-led process built around your outcome.
