Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Do I possess the skill to conduct myself as a business broker?

A.  The ideal candidate will have mid level to senior level management experience, sales, financial skills or would have owned a business in the past. While this is no guarantee that you will be successful, our goal is to only offer our franchisee program to people who have the skills necessary to be successful.

Q. Will I be required to travel often, work long hours including nights and weekends like I did in my corporate job?

A. Generally a business broker is meeting with buyers and sellers during normal business hours. Sometimes we meet with clients after hours or on weekends due to the need to maintain confidentiality or for the convenience of all parties. This is the exception rather than the rule. Travel is generally limited to your local area with the exception of industry conferences and occasionally a business transaction.

Q. Can I compete with more established brokers?

A. In addition to extensive training and support you will be part of one of the largest and most successful network of business brokers in the nation. The reputation and success that other have had will give you a leg up on the competition. We have thousands of completed transactions and a reputation for professional and ethical service to our clients. Support and advice is always available to you on both a regional and national level.

A. We currently offer an extensive one-week training program. You will receive a great deal of reference materials, which will be used in doing business. It is our stated company philosophy to offer continuous training to our associates. You will have access to electronic training media, web based seminars and conferences.

Q. Are the royalties and monthly service fees justified?

A. Royalties and service fees allow us to provide you with first class training, support, marketing programs and materials. Our system offers a lot more in the way of support with both regional and national offices to assist you. Our system is designed to eliminate most of the “back office duties”, which other business brokers must do themselves. We believe that our affiliates need to do what they do best, “spend mot of their time with their clients instead of doing administrative tasks”.
