As oilyfan said, you should use a business broker but picking the right one is important. We sold our business in Calgary a year and a half ago. Our first broker had it for about three years then we listed with another and he sold it in 4 months.
One thing we were surprised at is how little they do to help sell it. It's not like what realtors do at all. They would bring prospective buyers to our business and we would have to do the selling because we knew the business better than the broker. It's common that a broker won't even accompany the buyer to your business for the meeting.
If you are OK with having your staff and customers and competition know you are selling then I guess you can do it on your own but if not, find a good broker. Most of them aren't good.
