Your role is to help business owners sell their business or acquire businesses. As a business broker, you will have a window into the wonderful world of small business ownership and transactions like no other profession can provide. This brokerage is being offered at the same price as a new brokerage, yet it provides momentum as an active brokerage that a startup brokerage does not. This includes a database of business owners, an established Google profile with great reviews, a seasoned website that has been active for almost five years for better searchability and SEO, activity that will make it easier to get new listings, established name and credibility in the area.
For the transition, the current owner will offer 10% of the commission on any listings that are active as of the closing date. This means you will allow the current owner to handle those listings and use them to train you - so you can earn while you learn!
This is not a consistent cash flow business. The revenue and cash flow are representative and it is possible for an owner to do better or worse. The ideal candidate should have financial staying power in the form of savings or another income source. Qualified buyers should have $75,000 in available funds to invest, to ensure a runway on top of the $52,500 investment. Expect expenses to run between $1500 and $2000 per month depending on marketing. Low-cost effective marketing channels include networking groups like BNI, email drip campaigns, LinkedIn marketing, direct mail, and networking with CPAs or other professionals. This will not work for someone who has a full time job.

From the Owner: I will provide a transparent view of business brokering since overhyping serves no-one. This is a great field to be in, but only for those at a certain stage in their career. I am interested in your success for you, me, and the franchisor who are very supportive and respected by franchise owners. Therefore, I am offering this business at a fair price with a structure that helps ensure a smooth transition for the new owner.
