Business Brokerage is an In-Demand, Recession Resistant Industry for Prospective Business Owners

PRLog (Press Release) - Mar 20, 2009 -
The current economic climate is prompting many people to reevaluate their careers. Rather than waiting for the job market to improve, an increasing number of recently displaced workers are embarking on business ownership for the first time. Simultaneously, millions of baby boomers who own their own companies are selling their businesses as they prepare to retire. These factors have created tremendous demand for the business buying and selling services that business brokers provide.

Business brokers (http://www.franchisesolutions.com/consulting_franchises.cfm) that bring business buyers and sellers together and facilitate successful transactions are in high demand and the need for their services is expected to continue to increase. Approximately 20% of the country’s 25 million businesses change hands every year. Economist Robert Avery of Cornell University estimates that $10 trillion of assets and over 12 million privately held companies will be transferred as baby boomers start to retire.

Franchise opportunities in the business brokerage industry offer prospective franchisees the chance to own an in-demand, professional, recession-resistant business. Business brokerage franchisees take satisfaction in helping business buyers and sellers accomplish their goals. Would-be business brokers often don’t need to have previous industry experience as many of the business brokerage franchise concepts provide comprehensive training and support.
