About Us

Business Brokers Plus services the $2MM- $50MM market segment focusing on Healthcare, Education & Daycare, Manufacturing & Distribution and Services industries.

Mike Janis founded NJ Brokers Plus, a boutique business brokerage firm, in 2016. The mission of this company is to serve “main street” NJ & NY business owners and assist them in the sale of their businesses, as well as help buyers purchase profitable businesses.

As the company and team grew, there was also increasing demand to offer similar services to middle market companies. Business Brokers Plus was created to concentrate on the middle market space.

There are many business brokerage firms in the NY metropolitan area and it’s a highly competitive space. The success of both companies is attributed to the team’s commitment to quick response time. Answering phone calls, responding to voice mails, texts and e-mails within a few hours is the norm.

About Mike: Since 1982, Mike founded 5 companies (3 Software Companies, NJ Brokers Plus and Business Brokers Plus).

Each company operated under 4 basic Business Principles:

Never lose a valued client
Never lose a valued employee
Deliver what is promised
Be #1 in all we do

We welcome the opportunity to be of service to you and your business. Contact us today to discuss how we can help you sell your business.
