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.
