Although working in a traditional office space is becoming less and less common, many businesses still haven’t embraced the changing trends in the workforce. Everything is going digital, and Transworld is assisting the movement. Becoming a business broker and owning a Transworld franchise does not necessarily mean having a store in order to be successful.

If owning a franchise seems like a lot to manage along with home obligations, whatever they may be, Transworld offers a solution to those who can’t seem to do both: working from home. If you can maintain the same level of professionalism and communication in your own home as in an office, working from home can work for you.

Here are some facts about owning a Transworld franchise and how working from home works to run a Transworld business.

Lower Cost

Because Transworld doesn’t require a storefront or an office, that means there isn’t necessarily a cost for equipment, rent, and other expenses offices entail. The franchise can also be run by a single owner, which eliminates paying employees. All that is a mandatory amount is the investment and franchise fee, and Transworld offers assistance if needed.

Working from home opens up a lot of freedoms, and although not required, many franchisees do invest in private offices to maintain professionalism for clients. Creating a professional space will make working from home as a franchisee much more apt for success.

Same Training and Support

Regardless of if you work from home or have an office, Transworld offers the same training and support for all their franchisees. Our two-week program has extensive hands-on training in an actual Transworld and we offer our franchisees unwavering support throughout their franchise’s entire life.

Schedule Flexibility

Transworld franchises allow flexibility in time, schedule, and location for franchisees. We allow family to come first, as well as other obligations outside of business brokerage. Transworld has embraced the evolving digital world and we clearly outline that all that is minimally required for a franchise is a phone and a computer for online communications.

Transworld has made working from home possible. Although not every business has converted to creating a business model that is feasible to work from home, we are paving the way by allowing franchisees the opportunity and flexibility to adapt a business to their own lives. As long as the same level of professionalism can be upheld in your home as in an office, Transworld supports you being a franchisee without the hassle of a traditional office.

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.
