by a searcher from University of Texas at Austin in Dallas, TX, USA
Looking to break into M&A, private equity, or entrepreneurship through acquisition? Want real-world experience that directly drives deals?
Legacy Mainstreet — a boutique business brokerage helping blue-collar business owners retire and sell their companies — is looking for a motivated, self-starting intern to support our deal origination efforts.
Your Role:
You’ll be cold calling business owners to gauge interest in a potential exit. If we end up selling a business you sourced, you’ll earn a commission on the closed deal. This is an unpaid internship with real upside and meaningful exposure to small business M&A.
Ideal for:
1. Aspiring searchers or ETA operators
2. Undergrad or MBA students interested in private equity, brokerage, or dealmaking
3. Hustlers who aren’t afraid of the phone and know how to build rapport
What You’ll Gain:
– Hands-on experience sourcing and qualifying leads
– Scripts, tools, and training from experienced brokers
– Real-world exposure to business acquisition deals
– Commission checks if your cold calls lead to signed clients and closed deals
About Us:
Legacy Mainstreet helps retiring blue-collar entrepreneurs exit their businesses to qualified buyers.
If you're looking for a foot in the door and want to prove yourself in the world of small business acquisitions, we want to hear from you.
