Become a Business Broker
Get Started
Leaving a business behind can feel like you’re closing a major life chapter. For many seasoned entrepreneurs, to continue their career journey, the next opportunity needs to feel worthwhile. This is where business brokerage with Murphy Business comes in, offering a purposeful life after exit that aligns a meaningful career with profit.
By utilizing their experience of buying and selling a business, former owners carry a unique and seasoned point of view into their brokerage career. They provide a rich understanding of the emotional impact, financial details and considerations of legacy involved when passing on a business to new ownership.
The shift into a career in the business brokerage industry isn’t just a stepping stone. It’s a meaningful opportunity to guide others through a journey they once experienced themselves. And with Murphy Business, this hands-on experience comes at a powerful advantage, helping professionals to have a genuine impact on clients as they support them through one of the most meaningful transitions of their careers.
Murphy Business allows previous owners to merge their career experience and understanding to create an impact on professionals interested in supporting business owners through this transition. Former business owners provide experience, empathy and insight that clients appreciate and benefit from. Rather than just guiding transactions, they’re helping someone protect their legacy, take charge of their financial future and move into their next chapter with confidence and security.
“I greatly appreciate the high ethical standards of the Murphy organization” explains a long time, Georgia-based Murphy Franchise owner, Greg Younts. “[I also appreciate] their passionate interest in seeing their franchisees succeed”.
The Murphy Business model was carefully crafted to provide work-life flexibility with a financial upside. As one Virginia based franchisee put it: “I knew that I wanted to control my own destiny, build my own business, and create something of value, having the Murphy Business team there as that safety net made the decision easy.”
This mentioned “safety net” echoes the way Murphy Business supports franchisees while simultaneously allowing them to build a business on their terms. These values aren’t just for show, they’re a part of the franchise’s DNA and truly connect with entrepreneurs that appreciate impact as much as they do profit.
A life after exit can often bring an itch to give back. As a Regional Developer in Utah and an experienced Murphy Business professional, Marvin Slovacek has built a strong team of like minded individuals who drive the business forward. He exclaims, “I have been here 12 years, still loving it. We have built an amazing team here in Utah!”
With an MBA from Harvard and years of real estate and strategic planning experience under his belt, Slovacek’s background gives him great credibility to help advise on serious transactions.
Another seasoned business broker and M&A advisor, Jennifer Smith Broeckling, highlights how Murphy Business allows her to merge her finance experience with her passion for connection:
“We renewed our franchise agreement with Murphy in 2022 after a wonderful 10-year run” Broeckling says. “One of the best decisions we’ve made and one that aligns with our values. We wouldn’t be anywhere else!”
This story perfectly encapsulates how a post-exit career can still provide profit and fulfillment.
From a financial standpoint, the Murphy Business model is attractive. With relatively low overhead, many brokers are able to operate their business from home, avoiding significant upfront costs. Without the need for inventory or large investments, more of your income will come from transactions and relationships with clients.
Additionally, with Murphy Business Sales, there’s an unlimited potential to earn with zero cap on commissions. As you create a community of buy- and sell-side clients, your revenue has the potential to grow at a significant rate. Your post-exit career can have real scale, activating both your business experience and your relationship building skills.
One of the most impactful parts of joining Murphy Business is that you won’t have to take the important steps alone. The franchise network of experienced professionals is a positive and collaborative space.
Owners have the chance to share referrals and to build each other up. From a professional who has already built and sold a business, this network also offers connection and camaraderie. Even more than that, you continue making an impact post-exit.
If you’ve found yourself exiting a business and you’re in search of a next chapter that has impact, Murphy Business offers an incredible opportunity. You’ll be able to harness your experience, credibility and draw to add value. Murphy Business brings the training, support and an ethical helping hand to create a brokerage practice that matters.
