Can Someone With No Experience Make Money Selling Businesses?

Checklist 10 Things You Should Have Ready Before Selling Your Business

Let’s be honest: selling businesses sounds complicated. Legal documents, valuations, negotiations—it feels like a game for lawyers or Wall Street pros.

But here’s the truth no one tells you:
You don’t need a license, an MBA, or 10 years of experience to become a successful business broker.

In fact, some of the most successful brokers in the BizBroker+ network started with zero experience.

So if you’re asking, “Can someone like me actually make money selling businesses?”—the answer is yes. And here’s why.

 No License Required

Unlike real estate, you don’t need a special license in most states to sell businesses.
That’s a major advantage—and a huge barrier removed.

What really matters is:

  • Learning the basics of deal-making

  • Understanding how to talk to business owners

  • Having the right tools and support behind you

That’s exactly what we teach at BizBroker+ through our training and platform.

It’s Not About What You Know, It’s Who You Help

When you become a business broker, your job isn’t to be the smartest person in the room.
It’s to help business owners:

  • Understand the value of what they built

  • Find serious buyers

  • Navigate the sale process confidently

And guess what? They’re grateful to pay you for that.

Most brokers earn 10–15% of the sale price, which means helping one small business owner exit can earn you $10,000 to $50,000+—even as a beginner.

 You Don’t Need Inventory—Just Listings

One of the biggest advantages? You don’t have to invest in real estate, buy inventory, or build a product.

You just need listings.

That’s why BizBroker+ lets brokers list businesses for free on our platform—
and it’s also free for business owners, making it incredibly easy to get started.
