Broker Income Report

What Top Business Brokers Actually Earn

The Opportunity Right Now: We're in the middle of the biggest wealth transfer in history. Baby boomers own 2.3 million businesses. They're retiring. And there aren't enough brokers to handle the volume.

At HedgeStone, we're selling so many businesses right now that we need more brokers. This report breaks down exactly what top performers earn.

How Business Brokers Get Paid

Commission Structure
5-10%
of the sale price per transaction

The percentage varies based on deal size:

Sale Price Commission Rate Your Earnings
$150,000 8% $12,000
$350,000 8% $28,000
$500,000 7% $35,000
$1,000,000 6% $60,000
$2,500,000 5% $125,000

One deal can equal a year's salary at many jobs.

What Top Performers Close

At HedgeStone, our active brokers work deals ranging from $65,000 to $12 million.

Deal Volume by Experience:

A broker closing 6 deals at $500K average = $150,000 - $200,000/year

The Math on Your First Year

Conservative scenario for a new broker:

Year One Earnings Projection

Deals closed 3
Average sale price $400,000
Average commission 7%
Gross per deal $28,000
Year 1 Earnings $0

This is part-time for some, full-time for others. Many brokers maintain other work while building their deal flow.

Who Does Well as a Broker

Background in sales, real estate, finance, or small business ownership helps but isn't required.
