Grace Chang, M&A Business Broker
Getting to know Washington’s leading M&A Business Broker.
ABOUT GRACE
I specialize in representing business owners in Seattle and across Western Washington who are seeking strategic exit opportunities. Selling a business is a major milestone, and I take pride in guiding my clients through this complex process with expertise, integrity, and a commitment to their success.
As an expert in business valuation, I ensure that enterprises are priced appropriately to attract the right buyers while maximizing value. With a vast network of qualified buyers and strong negotiation skills, I help sellers navigate sales with confidence—structuring deals that align with their goals and implementing smooth transitions to new ownership.
Before becoming a business broker, I was a small business owner myself. I went through the process of selling my own company and learned firsthand the challenges, nuances, and potential pitfalls of business transitions. That experience led me to this career, where I now use my knowledge to help other entrepreneurs avoid common mistakes and achieve successful exits.
When you work with me, you get more than a broker—you get a knowledgeable, ethical, and well-connected partner who truly understands the emotional and financial complexities of selling a business. My goal is to ensure that your transition is seamless, rewarding, and aligned with your vision for the future.
LIFE AT HOME ON THE FARM
When I’m not at work, you can catch me at home with my family on the farm. I have a passion for nature and animals, which I’m lucky enough to be able to play out every day with my husband, children, and farm animals.
WHAT SETS ME APART FROM OTHER BROKERS?
When it comes to selling a business, experience, strategy, and trust matter. As a business broker affiliated with IBA, I bring a thoughtful, results-oriented approach to every transaction, helping business owners navigate the complexities of selling with confidence and clarity.
✓ Expert Guidance from Start to Finish
Selling a business is not just about finding a buyer—it’s about structuring a deal that protects your interests and meets your financial goals. I guide my clients through every step of the process, from valuation and marketing to negotiation and closing, ensuring a smooth and successful transaction.
✓ Comprehensive Business & Real Estate Representation
Unlike many business brokers, I hold a Washington State real estate license, allowing me to facilitate both business sales and real estate transactions. I can seamlessly manage the sale, purchase, or lease of commercial properties tied to a business transaction. This integrated approach eliminates the need for an additional real estate professional, reducing costs, streamlining negotiations, and ensuring alignment between business and real estate interests.
✓ A Market-Smart Approach
Understanding what buyers are looking for and how to position your business is key to maximizing value. I provide honest, data-backed insights into market trends and fair pricing, so you can make informed decisions and attract the right buyers.
✓ Confidential and Professional Representation
Discretion is essential in any business sale. Whether you’re exploring a potential exit or actively engaging with buyers, I handle every conversation with the highest level of confidentiality, protecting your business’s reputation and stability.
✓ Negotiation Expertise That Works for You
The right terms can make or break a deal. With a deep understanding of deal structures, financing, and legal considerations, I work to secure favorable terms that align with your long-term goals. My job is to anticipate challenges before they arise and find solutions that keep deals moving forward.
✓ Committed to Your Success
Every business is unique, and so is every transaction. I take a hands-on, personalized approach, working closely with my clients to create tailored strategies that set them up for success—whether that means transitioning smoothly to retirement, moving on to a new venture, or maximizing their financial return.
