Why Business Brokerage?
There has never been a more exciting time to be a business broker. A large percentage of the wealth in this and other countries is represented by small to medium-sized businesses. As our country matures and the “Baby Boom” generation moves into retirement, we will witness the greatest transfer of wealth the world has ever seen. The opportunity for the business brokerage community is unparalleled as small to medium-size business owners will require competent and professional assistance in the transfer of their most valuable assets to interested parties.
Research shows:
- $1.2 Trillion in Business Assets are poised to change hands in Canada by 2010.
- the rate of Canadians retiring is on the rise - 7.5% annually - which has doubled since 1990.
- 30% or Canada's Small & Mid Size Business Owners are poised to retire and over 33% are currently over the age of 65.
- over 50% of Small Business Owners in Canada to retire by 2020.
When you sum it all it up, it’s a great time to join the growing business brokerage industry.
Why Buy a Sunbelt Franchise?
As a Sunbelt franchisee, you are in business for yourself, but not by yourself. The main reason people buy a franchise, as opposed to starting a new non-franchised business, is to reduce risk while simultaneously maximizing the chance of success. At Sunbelt, our franchise system has been successfully growing for nearly 15 years. We teach you everything you need to know to open your Sunbelt office, get busy and start helping people to buy and sell businesses.
