Part of the metro, in a different state
Edwardsville is a short drive from the Missouri side, and many companies here serve customers on both banks of the river. Buyers often come from either state.
Because Illinois has its own tax and filing rules, an Edwardsville sale is not the same as a Missouri one. Our Missouri guides are written for Missouri companies, so Illinois owners should work with a CPA and attorney who handle Illinois filings.
Who buys here
Buyers include local operators, larger companies from the St. Louis side and investors seeking steady earnings. A university and a growing healthcare presence support contractors, shops and service companies.
Read how a business broker gets paid before you interview brokers who cover both states.
What lifts the price
Provable earnings, repeat customers and managers who can run the company. If customers on both sides of the river buy from you, document where the sales come from.
What buyers will ask
After an NDA and proof of funds, expect requests for tax returns, bank statements and a lease. A buyer will ask why you are selling.
