Talk:Business broker

message: :The article references that Oregon requires a license to operate as a business broker.  However, through several calls to Oregon's licensing offices came up dry - no specific license seems to be required.  Does anyone have contrary concrete information?
::I do not have contrary information, but supportive. I am a business broker in Oregon, and I spoke the the licensing department of the Oregon Real Agency, Phone: 503-378-4170, http://www.oregon.gov/REA/about_us.shtml. They stated that a real estate license for business brokering was not necessary when real estate was not involved in the transaction.
:::What you say is True. Oregon does not require a Real Estate Licence to sell a business, when real estate was not involved in the transaction. But they also say that in such a case where real estate interest in not involved is Atypical. That means only home-based businesses and new franchises are excluded.http://faqs.rea.state.or.us/absolutefm/?f=110 Be aware many Real Estate commissions don't understand the administration rules well enough to correctly inform business brokers on exemptions, I've talked to several who at first said you didn't need a license; only to back peddle when I explained exactly what business brokers do.http://www.bizology.com/businessforum/licensing.html Buyer beware of any contract that would exclude a seller from guaranteeing a lease or the sale of property at the location the business currently occupies. Who would want to buy a business and then get kicked out; often losing the equipment because the landlord claims it's a fixture or the equipment  was in the lease agreement? Why do business brokers need a Real estate license? Simple, there is or should be a "contingent" ownership change of the real estate interest that is involved with the business; whether just a lease or the physical property.
:::To the business broker above and to anyone else who wants to do business brokering get a real estate licence!!! do it right and protect everyone involved. There is a new movement that is slowly sweeping the country, Arizona and Florida started it; these states require not just a real estate license but 24 hours of additional education in business brokerage and registration for a BB (business broker) designation to the real estate licence to sell businesses. photodude 07:21, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: License requirements references

message: "Business Brokers offering a "No sale, No fee" often provide a more realistic figure..." is an opinion. Irrespective of what you say in the comments to each edit you are seeking to influence readers against up-front fee brokers. If you wish to pursue that line provide authorative references. Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:NPOV_tutorial. I am reverting. Poweroid 14:31, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
