Who Should
Become a Business Broker.
You already have what this needs. Your fastest path to a first mandate is the experience you already have. The session turns it into a written plan.
You spent 15–20 years inside an industry. Your network has owners who trust your judgment about business.
You speak their language because you came from their world. That domain credibility is the edge no cold-calling broker has in your niche.
You already close complex, multi-month, high-ticket deals. The skill set for brokerage is the same.
The commission is entirely yours. No employer controls your territory or your percentage. One deal can beat a quarter of a typical annual OTE.
You have sold or run a business. You understand how buyers think and what an exit feels like.
That experience is your edge. Position as the calm adult who has been through it — and get paid for it.
Meet Your Mentor —
A Practising Business Broker.
Den is an international business broker and exit adviser with 18+ years of direct P&L experience across 50+ business types and 12 markets. He has advised on transactions across 4 continents.
He built this session because he kept seeing the same failure: smart professionals spend months studying the business broker career and never sign a single mandate. The fix is not more theory. It is one plan, built on the network you already have, with someone who has done it sitting across the table.

Three people. Three first commissions. Full deal breakdowns.
Real Business Broker
First Commissions
A mid-level commercial property agent already talking to gym, clinic, and café owners daily. One gym owner said: "I'm exhausted. I don't want to renew this lease." That is not a property question — that is an exit signal. She ran the exit-clarity conversation from the script. Calm. No promises. The owner signed at 10% two weeks later. A local operator bought the gym.
An ex-founder who had built and sold a marketing services company. A friend — owner of a specialist B2B services firm — said: "I can't do this any more. I just want clean numbers and to be done." The seller wanted fantasy money. Price was anchored against recurring contracts and trained staff. Engagement signed at 10% with a minimum fee floor. Three targeted acquirers identified. One moved fast.
Small-practice accountant. Long relationships with ageing clients. Zero sales background. High trust. One client in his late 50s said: "My daughter doesn't want this. I don't want to do another 5 years. What do I do?" Positioned as a discreet exit adviser. Engagement letter signed. Five-figure fee locked in writing before the first buyer meeting.
Results vary with your access to motivated sellers, your market, and the specific deal. $15K+ typical first commission based on an 8–12% fee on $150K–$5M main street transactions. Anyone without a signed engagement earned $0. Documented outcomes, not projections.
