What Is Business Brokering?
Business brokers help entrepreneurs buy and sell businesses—not real estate.
Most business owners lease their locations, so your job isn’t about square footage. It’s about helping them:
Understand what their business is worth
Prepare a confidential listing
Find serious buyers
Negotiate a win-win deal
The best part? You can earn up to 15% commission on each transaction. That’s often $15,000 to $85,000 per sale.
Why Start in Your City?
You don’t need to live in a major metro to thrive as a broker.
In fact, starting locally gives you a massive advantage:
You already know the business owners
You understand the local economy
There’s little to no competition in most areas
Your community trusts local service providers
All it takes is one conversation to unlock a listing worth thousands in commission.
