About the Position

Sunbelt Business Brokers is expanding its presence in South Alabama, and we are looking for motivated professionals to join our team as Business Brokers serving Mobile and Baldwin Counties.

Business Brokers work with business owners who are preparing to sell or currently selling their businesses, as well as buyers looking for the right business opportunity. This is a relationship-driven profession that requires good people skills, business awareness, organization, and the ability to guide people through important financial decisions.

A successful Business Broker keeps both buyers and sellers comfortable throughout the transaction by staying informed, communicating effectively, solving problems, and providing leadership throughout the process.

No previous business brokerage experience is required. We provide comprehensive training.

Income Potential and Compensation

This is a commission-only position with significant earning potential.

• Expected annual earnings: $50,000–$200,000, depending on performance and transactions completed.
• Business Brokers earn commissions when transactions successfully close.
• Typical business brokerage commissions are approximately 10% of the transaction value, subject to the applicable listing agreement.
• The minimum commission on a transaction is typically $10,000.

Important: Business sales involve longer sales cycles. You should anticipate approximately 3–6 months before receiving your first commission check. Candidates must have sufficient financial resources to support themselves during this initial period. This is an opportunity for someone with business experience to become a successful Business Broker, with the training and backing of the Sunbelt network.

• Excellent communication and people skills.
• The highest levels of integrity and character.
• A desire to earn money based on performance.

Licensing Requirements

A Real Estate License is not required to become a Business Broker. However, if a transaction includes real estate, a Real Estate License will be required to receive commission on the real estate portion of the transaction.

Application Requirements – Please Read Carefully

Only complete applications will be considered.

To be considered for this position, your cover letter MUST include the following statement:

"I understand business broker positions are commission-only positions and that due to the length of a sales cycle, it is normal to take up to 3–6 months before I complete my first transaction. I have sufficient resources to offset the delay in receiving my first commissions."

Applications without a cover letter containing this statement will not be contacted or considered.
