Main Street Matters More Than Ever

From local bakeries to HVAC services, small businesses shape the economy, culture, and stability of America’s communities. As baby boomers retire and new entrepreneurs rise, a historic transfer of business ownership is underway — and Transworld franchisees are helping ensure Main Street continues to thrive.

A $10 Trillion Opportunity for Community Impact

Over 4.5 million small businesses in the U.S. are owned by baby boomers. According to the Exit Planning Institute, these businesses could account for more than $10 trillion in transferred assets in the next decade.

Yet many owners lack succession plans and exit strategies. Without guidance, thriving companies may shut down unnecessarily. Transworld franchisees play a vital role by:

– Providing accurate business valuations

– Guiding owners through the sale process

– Connecting sellers with qualified local buyers

This is more than business brokerage — it’s economic continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many business brokers are there in the United States?

Industry estimates place the number of active business brokers at roughly 18,000 across the country. With approximately 33 million small businesses operating in the U.S., that ratio leaves significant room for additional brokers in most markets. Compare that to real estate, where the agent-to-homeowner ratio is dramatically higher.

Why is demand for business brokers increasing?

The primary driver is the retirement of baby boomer business owners, who own a large share of the country’s small and mid-sized companies. Combined with growing interest from younger buyers looking to acquire rather than start businesses, and the increasing complexity of business transactions, the need for qualified brokers continues to grow.

Is it hard to break into business brokerage as a new broker?

The learning curve is real, and building a client base takes time in any relationship-driven profession. However, the barrier to entry is low compared to many other professional careers. Training programs, franchise systems, and industry certifications can accelerate the process significantly. The brokers who commit to building their networks and learning the craft tend to see results within their first year.

Does joining a franchise help in a competitive market?

Yes. Franchise systems provide training, brand recognition, technology, and referral networks that independent brokers typically spend years developing on their own. Transworld Business Advisors franchisees also benefit from multiple revenue streams and access to a global network of over 1,000 brokers. To learn more about the opportunity, request information here.
