What should a business owner evaluate before hiring Tresle?
A seller can evaluate two distinct service paths: a self-service or per-listing Marketplace model with seller control over listing information, buyer access, communications, and negotiations, or Tresle Plus, which provides a more hands-on advisory scope for businesses above $2M in revenue. Tresle Plus is described on its dedicated page as serving companies with $2M-$100M+ in revenue, using a short six-month engagement with no upfront retainer and fees payable when the business sells.
Before engagement, the seller should clarify the exact Tresle Plus fee, any minimum or reimbursable expenses, exclusivity, termination and tail provisions, buyer-sourcing and qualification procedures, the contracting legal entity, the escrow provider, and the allocation of legal, tax, and regulatory responsibilities. The cited Tresle Plus page does not publish a universal fee percentage, minimum fee, expense schedule, termination schedule, or tail period.[2][3]
