When you open a business brokerage franchise with Transworld, you’re opening yourself up to a new world of opportunities. Our franchisees enjoy lots of perks: they’re often able to work from home, they provide in-demand services, and they enjoy the support of a dedicated team behind them. It’s a great time to invest in the business brokerage industry, and Transworld is ready to help you get your new business started.

So, with all of those benefits, what does it take to become a franchisee? You might be surprised at how flexible the requirements are.

You’re Serious About Starting a New Business

Many of our franchisees are coming from corporate jobs where they didn’t have much flexibility. They want to work for themselves so they can enjoy some independence: setting their own schedule is often a high priority.

Transworld franchisees do enjoy a good deal of flexibility. This freedom to shift your schedule makes it much easier to: manage school pickups and drop-offs, take sick days, and go on vacation. Nevertheless, there’s work to be done, and our franchisees need to be serious about growing their business.

Our franchisees should be ready to

Fully participate in our comprehensive training program
Travel to clients’ locations to meet with them
Make the time to give every client’s case the attention it deserves
Implement and monitor ongoing marketing campaigns
Work with our team to stay up-to-date on best practices and growth strategies

These are just a few examples of the responsibilities you should expect as a Transworld franchisee. If you’re serious about growing a successful business and are ready to put work into tasks like these, you could be a good fit for Transworld.

You’re Ready to Make the Investment in Opening a Business Brokerage Franchise

We estimate that it will cost around $100K to open a business brokerage franchise with Transworld. That’s significantly less than it costs to open many other businesses. We’re able to keep our costs so low because our franchisees don’t necessarily need to invest in commercial real estate, employee salaries, or inventory. Along these lines, their overhead expenses are typically low throughout the life of their business.

If you’re ready to invest about $100K, you could be a good fit for Transworld. If you don’t have that level of liquid capital on-hand, many of our franchisees opt to seek financing such as a Small Business Administration (SBA) loan. Transworld is a well-established brand with a time-tested business model that makes our prospective franchisees especially attractive to lenders.

No Experience Necessary

One thing it doesn’t take to open a business brokerage franchise? Business brokerage experience. You’ll take part in a comprehensive training program designed to teach you how to provide the in-demand services our customers need. So don’t let your lack of business brokerage knowledge prevent you from taking advantage of this great opportunity.

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.
