Story 01 · Commercial Property Agent
$28,000
Mandate: 2 weeks · Cheque: ~10 weeks
A mid-level commercial property agent already talking to gym owners, clinic owners, and café operators 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.
Engagement letter signed on first ask using the template — 22 minutes of actual work.

Story 02 · Ex-Founder
$42,000
Mandate: 10 days · Cheque: ~3.5 months
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 anchored against recurring contracts and trained staff. Engagement signed at 10% with a minimum fee floor. Three targeted acquirers identified using the buyer pipeline. One moved fast.
SDE recast model produced a lender-ready valuation that held through due diligence.

Story 03 · Accountant
5-Fig. locked
Mandate: 3 weeks · Closing in progress
Small-practice accountant. Long-term relationship 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?" Succession anxiety. Positioned as discreet exit adviser. Engagement letter signed. Five-figure fee locked in writing before the first buyer meeting.

Results vary based on access to motivated sellers, your market, and the specific deal. $15K–$300K typical first commission based on 8–12% fee on $150K–$5M main street transactions. Anyone without a signed engagement earned $0. Documented outcomes from programme graduates, not projections.
The Investment Case
One deal pays for this system ten times over.
Based on real numbers from real transactions — not projections.
You need 10% of one deal to break even.
Your entry investment$9,000Fixed. One-time. Covers the complete operating system — training, mentorship, network access, all tools, and the guarantee extension if needed.
Typical first commission$15,000 – $300,000Based on 8–12% success fee on a $150K–$5M main street exit. Not a projection — these are the numbers from the three graduates above.
Your break-even point10% of one dealOn a $900K business at 10% commission = $90,000. You need 10% of one closing to return your entire investment. Every commission after that is 100% profit.
What the alternative costs$50K–$200K
The cost of entering through a business broker franchise — including franchise fees, territory costs, and mandatory systems. That is the established market rate to start in this profession. This programme costs $9,000.
Franchise entry costs from publicly available FDD filings (US). Ranges from ~$50,000 to $200,000+ depending on territory. Source: FDD filings, IBBA industry data.
Timeline to first chequeMonth 3–6
Signed mandate typically lands Weeks 2–4 with an existing owner relationship. Commission clears after due diligence and closing. A legitimate $15K–$300K cheque in 90–150 days is realistic.
Here is what your week looks like once the system is running. A typical active week is 15–35 hours of focused work. One or two owner meetings, one buyer qualification call, some document review.
You do not need a team. You do not need an office. You need one trusted owner, one signed engagement letter, and one motivated buyer — and you have a $15K–$300K event. That is the entire business.
No office required15–35 hrs / week2–4 active mandates$15K–$300K per closing1:1 MentorshipNo team needed
📅
Monday: Owner meeting (coffee, 45 min)
Discovery conversation with a café owner who mentioned to a mutual contact she is "thinking about her next chapter." You run the exit-clarity script. No pitch. No commitment requested yet.
📄
Wednesday: Engagement letter signed (remote)
Your active mandate #2 signs via DocuSign. 10% success fee, 12-month tail, fee-protected on any buyer introduced. Template from the kit — 22 minutes of actual work.
📞
Thursday: Buyer qualification call (30 min)
A regional operator from the UNGLIN buyer network has seen your blind teaser. NDA first. Then qualify proof of funds, strategic fit, and timeline. One of three buyers being run in parallel.
💰
Friday: Commission arrives (bank transfer)
Your mandate #1 — the gym exit from 10 weeks ago — clears. $28,000 wired. Four months of occasional evenings and two owner meetings. One cheque.
The UNGLIN Exit Advisor Network
Your first buyer may already be in the system.
Every certified UNGLIN advisor shares access to the same buyer database. When you list a deal, qualified buyers already vetted by other advisors in the network are notified immediately. This is the structural advantage a solo broker never has — and what separates this system from any training course.
🗄️
Shared Infrastructure
Live buyer database
A shared pool of qualified acquirers — operators, private buyers, and strategic acquirers — vetted across the advisor network. Your deal is visible to buyers your network would never reach independently.
🔄
Deal Referrals
Inbound deal referrals
Mandates that come into the UNGLIN system above or below a certified advisor's typical deal size are referred within the network. You receive referrals. You refer up when the deal outgrows your scope.
📡
Monthly Live Session
Group deal call with Den
Every active certified advisor can join. Live deal questions, pricing disputes, buyer objections, stalled mandates. Den works the room. No time limit per question — if the deal is real, it gets solved.
Who This Is For
You already have what this needs.
The fastest path to your first mandate is through relationships you already have. The system is built for people who already sit near motivated sellers — and need the framework, tools, and network to get paid for it.
Property / Commercial AgentPrimary ICP
You talk to business owners every day. Exit conversations are already happening — you are just not being paid for them.
One gym owner saying "I'm too tired to renew this lease" is an exit signal worth $28,000. That is the conversation that produced Story 01 above.
Accountant / Finance ProfessionalPrimary ICP
Your retiring clients ask "what do I do with this?" You are already the most trusted person in the room.
The hardest part of brokerage — being trusted about money — is already solved. The system adds the framework to convert that trust into a signed mandate and a fee.
Ex-Founder / Operator
You have sold or operated a business. You understand how buyers think, how financials work, and what the emotional weight of an exit feels like.
That experience is your unfair advantage. Position as the calm adult who has been through this — and get paid for it.
Wealth Manager / Private Banking
You hear "I want to exit in the next 2 years" before the market does. Business brokerage is a natural adjacent income stream.
The system covers conflict-of-interest framing, engagement letter structure, and how to introduce buyers without creating liability.
Trusted Connector (Lawyer / Consultant)
You are already the "discreet fixer" in your network. Owners come to you when they want to do something quietly.
The gap between being consulted and being paid is a signed engagement letter. The system solves that gap in Week 2.
High-Network Adult, New to Brokerage
You are calm under pressure and want a high-ticket advisory role without building a large team.
If you have existing relationships with business owners — regardless of background — the system gives you the operating infrastructure to monetise them.

The Real Comparison
Three ways in. One clear winner.
Every person who finds this page has considered at least one alternative. Here is the honest side-by-side.
Going It Alone
$0
Upfront. But the real cost is time and mistakes.
—No engagement letter → commission unenforceable. You help for free.
—Wrong valuation → deal collapses in due diligence. 3 months wasted.
—No buyer network → you chase cold lists. Mandates sit unsold.
—No scripts → you pitch instead of listen. Owners disengage.
—No support → one bad decision ends the deal. No one to call.
Franchise Entry
$50K–$200K
Plus 6–10% royalty on every commission you earn.
—$55,000 franchise fee before you see your first client.
—Territory restrictions — locked to one geography.
—Months of onboarding before your first mandate.
—Royalties on every deal for the life of the franchise.
—Brand owned by the franchisor. Not yours.

Who Built This
Den UnglinSystem Architect · Programme Mentor
The system is built on live mandates.
Den is a practising business broker & 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 and maintains relationships with a global network of PE and family offices.
Every template, script, and model in this system was built on a real deal — not reconstructed for teaching purposes. The engagement letter, the SDE recast model, the buyer targeting logic, the valuation conversation script: Den used every one of them on a live mandate before putting it in the system.
The 35-day programme was built because Den has seen the same failure pattern repeatedly: people spend months studying brokerage and never secure a signed mandate. The system solves that by forcing execution with direct support at every step — and a buyer network that removes the coldest part of the problem.
Den reviews every application personally. The programme is selective because the network only works when every certified advisor meets the standard. One poor result affects every advisor in the system.
We will likely accept you
→You already know at least one owner who is tired, retiring, or ready to exit. You do not need 100 leads. You need one real conversation.
→You can talk calmly about money. If you can sit with a 58-year-old and discuss retirement money without flinching, you belong here.
→You want to act now, not study for 9 months. The 35-day system is for people who want to move, not consume information.
→You understand this is a real profession, not a side hustle. You are advising an owner on the biggest financial event of their life.
→You are willing to invest in ads or active networking to build your pipeline. The system handles everything else — you supply the deal flow effort.
We will likely reject you
✕You want passive income with zero human contact. This role requires calm, direct conversations about money. No humans = no commission.
✕You think cold-emailing strangers "want to sell?" is a strategy. That destroys trust immediately and damages the network.
✕You need $50,000 in 35 days. Month 3–6 for the first cheque is realistic. Anyone promising immediate income is selling a fantasy.
✕You plan to help for free and invoice later. No signature = no enforceable commission. You will end with $0.
