“The Great American Dream”…
 

Owning your own business brokerage agency can be a fascinating, rewarding career. Business brokers are instrumental in helping business buyers and sellers participate in free enterprise, commonly referred to as “The Great American Dream”. Business brokers not only list and sell businesses and franchises (much like Realtors list and sell real estate); business brokers also assist business buyers and sellers with all aspects of the acquisition process.

It is estimated that over 1,000,000 different businesses experience a change in ownership every year nationwide, in towns and cities large and small, and business brokers are commonly involved in many of those transactions, for which the broker receives an attractive fee and/or commission.  For more information on owning your own business brokerage, please register with this site.

During that time, our principals have worked as commissioned agents and have listed and sold thousands of different businesses.

EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS

 

FNBC grants exclusive rights to the use of our systems in a given town/city/territory/state, depending on the size territory an owner is interested in controlling.

 

OPINION OF IMPROVEMENTS/COMPATABILITY/INTEGRATION PLAN

Owners of established agencies, who wish to join the FNBCTM network may request a comprehensive analysis of your agency by qualified FNBCTM professionals, to determine a plan for the integration of your agency into the FNBCTM brokerage system. This analysis is optional, and is not required, but is highly recommended, as a useful tool to confirm the ways FNBC'sTM systems may improve your listing inventory, sales, income, in-place systems, and/or closing ratios.

 

FACTS TO CONSIDER

• Surveys of business brokerage offices show that most of the non-FNBCTM agencies in the USA actually sell about 20% of their listings annually, due to inadequate packaging and/or unrealistic pricing, and/or ineffective/un-aggressive marketing and/or weak advertising of their listings.
    

• FNBC'sTM high-compliance offices have an over 20 year history of successfully selling 60% or more of the listings we’ve listed over the years, based on our unique, detail oriented, “full disclosure” professional  packaging, “market reality” pricing, aggressive advertising and positive, energetic marketing systems.
    

• FNBCTM licensed offices have specialized for decades in being ultra effective arrangers of financing for the acquisitions we broker. We know that our dedication to making sure that our agents and agencies are “financing experts”, highly trained in all the nuances of financing basics, is a huge contributor to our superior closing ratios.
    

• FNBCTM agents have arranged over $500,000,000 in small business loans to date for buyers who acquired businesses listed with our licensed offices.
    

• We are proud of our reputation, in all the cities in which we have licensed offices, of having an absence of complaints with the Better Business Bureaus  and a spotless record with the various real estate commissions in every state where we operate.
    

• The FNBCTM “Comprehensive Agent Training Program”, consisting of 4 ½ days of in-person training in listing, selling and financing businesses and franchises, which each agent in every licensed office is urged to attend, is without equal as a training system in the business brokerage industry.
   

• In addition, FNBCTM provides year round advisories on every aspect of listing, selling and financing businesses and franchises, and on managing/owning a successful business brokerage office.
