Q. Does Dearborn West charge any up-front fees to the purchaser?
A. No. You never pay us for any of our work, before or after the purchase. Our income is earned through commissions paid to us by the sellers of the businesses.

Q. Does Dearborn West offer training, advice, or counsel?
A. No. We leave that to the professionals. We are careful to represent only the highest quality businesses and we carefully research any business before adding it to our listings. We also recommend that you seek advice from a qualified attorney or CPA before making a major business purchase decision.

Q. How does Dearborn West differ from a standard business brokerage?
A. A business brokerage lists and sells existing businesses, often including real estate and leases in the sale. Usually these are local businesses run by local owners and are frequently overpriced or lack sufficient bookkeeping controls. Dearborn West represents only new business opportunities.

Q. Why should I buy a franchised business?
A. There are many reasons, increasing your odds for success is chief among them. Additionally, landlords love franchises because of a very stable track record, a proven system, and an effective business model. Last year, 42% of all retail goods and services were sold through franchised outlets. You are in business for yourself, but never by yourself.
