M&A Advisor Business Broker
First Choice Business Brokers – Hudson Valley, NY
About the Opportunity
First Choice Business Brokers of the Hudson Valley is expanding and selectively recruiting experienced, motivated professionals to join our team as M&A Advisors / Business Brokers.
This is not a traditional sales or real estate agent role. Our advisors work directly with business owners on high-stakes life events — preparing, valuing, marketing, negotiating, and closing the sale of privately held businesses.
If you want ownership of your pipeline, seven-figure commission potential, and to operate as a true advisor — not a listing taker — this role may be a strong fit.
Why This Role Is Different
- Advisor mindset, not agent mindset – consultative, analytical, and relationship-driven
- Build your own book of business in a protected New York territory
- Six-figure commissions with no cap
- Direct relationships with business owners — not internet leads or priced-out buyers
- Training, valuation tools, deal support, and structure while you ramp
- Collaborative culture — brokers share expertise, not compete internally
Important: This role is commission-only and has a long ramp period. Candidates must have sufficient savings or another income stream while building their pipeline.
What You’ll Do
- Originate and manage relationships with business owners and qualified buyers
- Advise sellers on exit planning, valuation, timing, and deal structure
- Prepare confidential business valuations and financial analyses
- Market businesses for sale using approved channels and buyer networks
- Manage buyers through qualification, diligence, and negotiations
- Coordinate with attorneys, accountants, lenders, and other professionals
- Guide transactions from listing through closing
- Collaborate with other brokers on complex or shared deals
Who We’re Looking For
- Proven success in commission-based roles (business brokerage, real estate, lending, insurance, consulting, sales, advisory, etc.)
- Entrepreneurs, former business owners, or operators strongly encouraged
- Comfortable with longer sales cycles and high-ticket commissions
- Strong financial aptitude — able to read and discuss financial statements
- Excellent communication, follow-up, and relationship-building skills
- Self-directed, organized, and accountable
- New York real estate license preferred but not required (required if you want to participate in real estate transaction commissions)
What We Provide
- Business valuation tools and deal support
- Structured onboarding and broker training
- Protected territory within New York
- Collaborative deal execution
- Partner and referral-fee protection
- A company culture that is completely collaborative and friendly
If you want autonomy, meaningful work, and the opportunity to build a long-term advisory practice — we’d like to speak with you.
Flexible work from home options available.
