The industry of Business Brokerage plays a vital role in helping facilitate the transfer of business ownership across the U.S. and internationally. The franchise industry alone is a $4 trillion dollar industry annually, representing 3% of the U.S. GDP in the year 2016. Business Brokerage is playing a critical role in facilitating the process of ownership transfers. Currently, there are over 75 million baby boomers, millions of whom are business owners looking to sell their businesses so they may pursue retirement. Additionally millions of baby boomers are looking to sell their existing businesses and buy another business where they can have a part time to absentee ownership role.
