How to Make Money as a Business Broker (Even If You’re New)
Think real estate is the only way to earn big commissions? Think again.
Becoming a business broker is one of the most overlooked ways to earn $15,000 to $85,000 per deal — without needing a special license or prior experience.
At BizBroker+, we’ve seen new brokers go from zero to multiple closings in just a few months.

💰 So, How Do You Actually Make Money?
Business brokers earn commission when they help a business owner sell.
At BizBroker+, our standard commission is 15% of the sale price. That means:
| Sale Price | Commission (15%) |
|---|---|
| $100,000 | $15,000 |
| $250,000 | $37,500 |
| $500,000 | $75,000 |
| $750,000 | $112,500 |
Most deals on our platform fall in the $15K to $85K commission range — and some brokers close more than one deal per month.
🏆 Why Anyone Can Do This (Yes, Even You)
Unlike real estate, you don’t need a special license to be a business broker in most states.
That means anyone — teachers, real estate agents, corporate employees, stay-at-home parents — can step in and earn.
What you do need:
A willingness to learn
Basic communication skills
Consistency
The right training (which we give you inside Legacy Broker Academy)
👀 Perfect Side Hustle for Real Estate Agents
If you’re already in real estate, becoming a business broker is a natural next step.
Less competition
No showings or open houses
Bigger commissions
Repeat clients (many business owners buy/sell multiple times)
You can even refer deals you don’t want to handle and still get paid.
