It sounds like you don't need a broker yet but someone to brain storm the idea with. If you go to a broker now, you will be offered JUST what that broker knows and not other options that might be on the table. As someone who gave legal support for a lot of companies, I was also very often the CEO/ Chairperson's "shrink" as well and we discussed such issues thinking what are their best options to move forward/exit. You can give me a call so we can have a quick chat to see if this is relevant in your case as well.
