We used Dan to sell our business. He was professional, responsive, and quickly managed a flood of potential buyers—setting up calls and in-person visits right away. We accepted an offer in under a week. If we had another business to sell, we’d use him again.

I have known Dan for decades and he has successfully represented hundreds of business owners in their quest to sell their businesses through the past 20 years. I would highly recommend him to anyone thinking of selling their business

I’m not happy to write this review, but I want to provide honest feedback about my experience.
After reaching out and submitting all requested documents, including a financial and personal profile, I scheduled a call with Dan Long to proceed further. Dan answered the call and began by stating my age and location, and then immediately said that these factors discounted my ability to be a good fit for the business.
Despite what felt like a condescending tone and judgment, I did my best to share my business background, my current financial capabilities, and my direct experience related to the business in question, including my willingness to relocate before closing. Even after explaining all of this, Dan continued to strongly discourage me from pursuing the opportunity.
When I asked for clarification about what other buyer profiles have or what I was lacking to be considered, Dan said he had to get off the phone.
If you have business listings with an unspoken age requirement or a policy of excluding buyers who are willing to relocate pre-close, I hope you will state this clearly in your listing descriptions going forward. It would have saved me several hours of due diligence before the call. I also think it is unfair to sellers to discourage potentially qualified buyers based on arbitrary criteria.
This feedback is based solely on my email and phone interactions with Dan over a few days.

Cincinnati Business brokers sold our business in 6 months at 96% of our asking price. Dan’s expertise and guidance thru the process was impeccable.

2 main things I care about when it's time to sell a business: valuating my business, and finding buyers,
They have a long list of potential buyers in their system, which really speeds up the process.
I'm impressed by how Dan knows how to dive into financials to evaluate a valuations and what we can get in the market.
Not to mention, the nicest people on earth.
Highly recommend!

After waiting a week to hear back from Dan Long. He sent me a rejection email. He did not even have the courtesy to call me and discuss it over the phone. I've worked with other business brokers. Color me not impressed.

Dan Long sold our family business. He was always available, professional and on top of things. The transition went smoothly and everyone was happy with the outcome. Highly recommend him and his company!

Tried selling business for months with no results. Contacted Dan and he got the ball rolling. Had the business sold quickly and very profitably. Would highly recommend working with Dan Long if you are trying to sell a business.

had a fender bender in 2021and I had to do all the work. Then it came time to renew and it went up substantially, which I understood it would go up. Nick never contacted me, I had to call him and ask why so much. Now it's 2023 renewal and yet again to is going up. Not waiting on Nick to call, because it seems he doesn't want my business. I will go to someone who does. Stay away from this company. They send you lots of emails but never services your account.

Dan Long Long facilitated the sale of my business in May of 2022. The entire process could not have gone better. Dan was there to walk the buyer and me through all the complex steps to complete the transaction. A win win for everyone. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dan to anyone buying or selling a business.

We have worked with CBB regarding multiple transactions on the buy-side and sell-side over the years. Our most recent experience, specifically working with Mike was a timely and successful transaction. He managed the emotions of what can sometimes be a turbulent process by providing valuable suggestions at crucial points. His skill-set was extremely helpful in on-going communications. We look forward to working together on more successful transactions in the future!

Listed my business with Dan Long at Cincinnati Business Brokers. Mr Dan Long could have sold my business to dozens of buyers. Dan is professional, knowledgeable, responsive and reliable. My wife and I would highly recommend him to be your business brokers. He is definitely a 10 stars broker.

Dan is apparently worthless.My client inquired on a list of equipment being sold with one of his listings and he refused to provide it...or maybe was clueless about it?I understand confidentiality and NDAs, but complete information on what is included in the listing should NOT be confidential and he's NOT someone our team will deal with to buy or sell.The owner of the Hamilton County food packaging company should find a different broker if they really want to retire.
