Curious about your experience starting a business brokerage franchise. Are the provided processes, software, and listing platform worth the 70-90k startup cost? What do you wish you knew before buying that you know now?

Hi ^redacted‌ - nice to meet you. We can help with financing a franchise startup especially if its listed in the SBA Franchise Directory. We have a lot experience financing various companies via the SBA. If you ever need help reviewing a deal, I am happy to help. We work with all the major SBA lenders. The bank pay us after your loan closes, so this is a 100% free service for you. You can email me directly at redacted or schedule a meeting with me: https://cal.com/francodeguzman/30min.

As a business broker I will say a franchise can be a good way to start. When I first got into the business I worked with a broker that owned a business brokerage franchise and worked with him a year before buying him out as he retired. I gave up the franchise years ago and have been on my own ever since.
