Career At ROI
A career in Business Brokerage and/or Commercial Real Estate Sales at ROI could be the best move you ever make!
Brokerage of businesses is now recognized as a Growth Industry for the 21st Century, and has been identified as one of the best small business opportunities. According to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, there are over eleven million privately owned businesses in the United States. Approximately one in five businesses will experience change of ownership during the next year. This will result in the transfer of ownership involving more than two million businesses this year or ten trillion dollars of business value transferred over the next 10 years. That is a staggering opportunity! And currently approximately only 10% of those will use the services of a business broker.
What income does a broker earn? The Entrepreneurial Studies Department of Babson College, Wellesley, Massachusetts conducted a national survey of business brokers. The average annual commissions were $253,000.00. Earnings are produced from an average of ten sales annually. The survey also points to additional annual revenue of $60,000 from fees collected for marketing and valuation reports and in the case of ROI, commercial real estate services.
