Small Business Exchange, Inc. (SBX) introduces a new kind of brokerage for the sale and purchase of SME’s (Small and Medium Sized Enterprises)

Why are we different?

* We sell businesses for the lowest commission rates in Austin, Texas with no upfront fees. You pay us this commission when your business is sold.

* We are more than an internet presence – if you’re interested in what we have to offer – simply give us a call. If we think we can help, we’ll come visit you at your place of business and explain how we operate – with no obligation.

* We specialize in small business because our brokers have owned them – we appreciate their special needs and respect their owners as entrepreneurs who represent the lifeblood of the U.S. economy.

* We don’t necessarily list every business for sale that we encounter. Unlike our competitors, the quality of our individual listings is far more important than filling up our webpage with a large quantity of listings that only languish there.

* We also value and respect our buyers. We’ve been there – it takes a lot of courage and determination to buy a business. We do our utmost to help our buyers find the best business for them and to negotiate a successful agreement that allows everyone to succeed. Please feel free to call us for an appointment and we’ll be happy to sit down and chat with you.

* We thoroughly screen our registered buyers before we introduce them to our sellers to ensure that no one’s time is wasted.

* We are not into scare tactics. We are reasonably certain that sellers are aware of the consequences if they are unable to sell on their own. We hope to earn our commissions through hard work and professionalism.

* We actively network in the Austin Business Community, generating leads from potential buyers and investors.

* Our mission is to earn our fees by matching the right buyer to the right seller . We would prefer to enjoy a long term reputation in the growing Austin Area small business community.

The President of Small Business Exchange, Inc., Julie A. Barnes, is a serial entrepreneur who has started and managed businesses in such diverse industries as horse transportation (Louisville, Kentucky), software development (Austin, Texas), and magazine publishing (Austin, Texas). She also served as a member of the first Peace Corps contingency to include only business professionals in Russia – where she consulted for four years to small businesses and taught “capitalism” to university students. Her first love is horses, her second, helping small businesses to flourish.

After working as a senior business broker for an Austin based brokerage for a year – booking just over $1.6 million in listings (about 60% of the firm’s total), she decided to found her own brokerage - Small Business Exchange, Inc. (SBX) is the upshot.
Ms. Barnes brings a wealth of experience and professionalism to the table as a graduate of the University of Texas in Marketing, and a veteran of many startups. She understands both the pressures of making payroll and the exhilaration of a successful sale.
