Start with the brokers at the top of this list — they are the most active in the Retail & E-commerce category right now, so they tend to have the freshest supply and the deepest sector knowledge. Reach out to two or three, share your budget and target state, and ask what Retail & E-commerce deals they have coming to market.

Many do. Some brokers work across all industries while others focus on Retail & E-commerce specifically, which usually means better valuation benchmarks, a stronger buyer network, and smoother due diligence for that sector. This directory surfaces the brokers with the most recent Retail & E-commerce activity so you can tell who actually works in the category.

Fees follow the national norm regardless of industry: most brokers charge the seller a success fee of 8–12% of the sale price for small businesses (often around 10%), usually with a minimum fee of $10,000–$15,000. Larger deals often use a tiered "Double Lehman" structure. Buyers generally do not pay the broker directly.
