Job description

Work From Home or Our Office. Flexible Schedule. Big CommissionsBuild a High-Income Career Helping Business Owners Buy and Sell Businesses

Can you sell a free appointment with a business owner or buyer?

Can you earn a business owner’s trust, listen carefully, take good notes, and convince them to sign a listing agreement with no upfront cost?

Can you prepare compelling information about a business, follow up with buyers, arrange meetings, help negotiate offers, and keep a transaction moving toward closing?

If so, you may have what it takes to become a Transworld Business Advisor.

Successful Business Advisors, often called Business Brokers, earn substantial commissions. Good advisors typically earn at least $100,000 in gross commissions. Last year, Transworld’s top advisor earned more than $3 million, and many others exceeded $1 million. Results vary based on effort, experience, market conditions, and closed transactions.

A real estate license is not required to sell businesses, but our team members are licensed to also serve commercial real estate through Coldwell Banker Commercial.

You’ll have the independence to build your own practice with support from an established brokerage network.

Why Join Transworld?

• Flexible schedule with the option to work from home or our office
• Uncapped, performance-based income
• Access to house leads and proven prospecting systems

Compensation

• A scalable, long-term career path

About the Opportunity

As a Business Broker or M&A Advisor, you’ll guide small and midsized business owners through the sale or acquisition of a company. You’ll manage client relationships, buyer activity, negotiations, due diligence, and transaction coordination from listing through closing.

What You’ll Do

• Build relationships with business owners and buyers
• Secure business listing agreements
• Market businesses confidentially and professionally
• Advise clients through sale and acquisition processes
• Facilitate negotiations and deal structure
• Coordinate due diligence and closing activities

Who We’re Looking For

The most important skill is consultative sales ability. You must be able to earn trust, ask good questions, sell appointments, secure signatures, follow up consistently, and help people make major business decisions without high-pressure tactics. Many advisors come from backgrounds including sales, banking, financial services, commercial real estate, insurance, business ownership, executive leadership, accounting, legal services, and consulting – and from many other backgrounds. Ideal candidates have strong communication, time management, networking, and relationship-building skills. They are self‑motivated, ethical, comfortable with technology, able to maintain confidentiality, and committed to learning.

Professional Requirements

Relevant professional experience is highly valued. A bachelor’s degree is preferred but not required. A real estate license is not required.
