Recently while attending the International Business Brokers Association our leader, Jim King, got to shake the hand of yet one more of his heros, Mr. Tom Smith, the undisputed “GURU” of the Business Brokerage profession in the United States. Tom Smith is the President of Business Brokerage Press and publishes the Business Reference Guide. The annually published Business Guide has become the bible of business brokers all around the country for valueing small businesses.

BUSINESS BROKERS WANTED

We have openings for Business Brokers all over the mid-atlantic region. You do not need a real estate license to sell businesses, nor are there any other regulatory requirements placed on Business Brokers. If you have never bought or sold a business before we can teach you how the entire process works from start to finish and have you up and running in a very short time. This is a great second career type of job, you get to work at your own pace, you are your own boss.

LISTING FINDERS WANTED

Not sure whether or not you want to jump into the whole Business Broker thing just yet but still want to make some great money? If so, you can start out as a LISTING FINDER. LF’s work 2-3 hours a day, 2-3 days a week out in the field placing business cards on the doors of businesses in areas around their city/home. Business owners will find those cards and call the finder to ask questions about selling ther business. The LF ’s goal is to turn that call into an appointment for one of the brokers to do a listing presentation for the business. If we list, and then sell a business from your business card distribution efforts you will receive a finders fee after settlement equal to 10% of the gross brokerage fee or $1,000 which ever is greater.

There are very few business owners that would welcome this sign in front of their business. There is a huge difference between what business brokers do and what real estate agents do.

Selling businesses is very different from selling residential or investment property. When selling a business confidentiality is almost always a significant and material issue. In almost all cases when a business is to be sold neither the employees, the competitors, the vendors, nor the landlord will know the business is for sale. This makes marketing a going concern business a much more difficult task and sets it apart from selling residential and investment properties. In order to market your business we must first prepare a “Confidential Business Review or Abstract” and then place the listing on several local, nationwide/worldwide business listing services. Buyers are required to submit a signed Confidentiality Agreement before any business specific information is exchanged. Your broker’s objective is to get your business sold to the best qualified buyer at the highest possible price as soon as possible. Your broker will manage every phase of the sales process to maximize our promotional efforts, represent your best interests, and to use his/her experience and best practices to make the transaction go smoothly.
