Has anyone here been a business broker ?

[chrisbiz4444]

I have heard being a Real estate agent is not all that lucrative unless you sell high volume and or you are in Luxury RE. However I have just learned of something new called *business brokering*. I think this could be beneficial and a huge learning curve as I am very interested In buying business's as a personal investment. It also seems like a very nice way to raise some personal investment capital. However I cannot find much info on the web about this and the info I have found seems pretty contradicting. So I am hear asking if anyone has past experience in the field. If so could you tell me if it is worthwhile and if it can be lucrative? More importantly, is there a useful learning curve here?

Is this a better career then Real estate? It seems that you can learn many useful fast-lane skills though being a Business broker. Any feedback or advice would be great.

Business brokers are no different than real estate brokers. You're selling something in exchange for a commission. There's a couple business broker offices in my town. It would seem to me that there's not much money in them. Listings are few, commissions are low. I would think it would be easier to make money on real estate. I would think it would be easier to sell a house than someones Quiznos franchise that's not making any money.

We sort of talked about that in this thread.
