Knowing your first step can be difficult. You first need to decide how serious you are and how much you know already. If you're not sure exactly what the job requires or need to know more before making that leap of faith, we suggest attending a few NEBBA meetings and networking with NEBBA members.  You can make meeting reservations online. 

You can also purchase the Complete Guide to Business Brokerage from one of our members, Tom West of Business Brokerage Press. This book is ideal for those looking to enter the industry and to seasoned professionals who need a refresher course on the basics of business brokerage.

Another first step would be to give any NEBBA board member a call and let him or her walk you through the lifestyle and duties of the profession. We can help you discern whether the profession is right for you and if so how you should enter it.

You can enter the profession in three ways: you can go on your own, buy a franchise, or go work for another broker. We can help steer you on the right course.

Once you have made the decision to go into the business we can show you the the tools and provide you with the education you will need to get started and operate either your own firm, franchise, or make you a productive agent for another broker. We hope you will join one of the most exciting and rewarding industries there are. 

Remember, we are always here to help.
