Frequently Asked Questions

What should Illinois owners handle before a sale can close?

Two things routinely surprise Illinois sellers. Buyers' attorneys typically request a bulk sales release from the Illinois Department of Revenue so the buyer isn't held responsible for unpaid sales or withholding tax, and licenses — contractor, roofing, liquor, professional — generally do not transfer automatically with the business. We flag both early, and your attorney and CPA confirm the specifics, so neither stalls your closing at the last minute.

How long does it take to sell a business in Illinois?

Six to twelve months from listing to closing is typical, and an SBA-financed deal adds roughly 45 to 90 days for the lender's underwriting on top of the time it takes to find the buyer. Businesses with clean, current financials move fastest; the single biggest source of delay is a seller who starts assembling records after a buyer is already at the table.

Which parts of Illinois does Tangent Brokerage cover?

We work throughout Chicagoland and the collar counties — Cook, DuPage, Kane, Will, McHenry, Kendall, and Lake — plus Grundy, Kankakee, LaSalle, Lee, Livingston, and Ogle counties and the Rockford market. Our office is in Glen Ellyn, so most of Illinois is a same-day drive for an in-person meeting at your business, after hours if that keeps things discreet.
