    Let’s Make Some Money!

    If you’ve ever wanted to run your own business brokerage and work with world-class brand credibility, training, and four distinct deal pipelines — this is your opportunity.

    Join the franchise that sells both digital and brick-and-mortar companies.

    Join Website Closers.

    Own a Franchise That Fully Supports & Certifies You

    The Website Closers Franchise System gives entrepreneurs the chance to build a professional business brokerage that represents company owners across industries, valuations, and geographies. Our brokers help founders sell their businesses — from high-growth eCommerce brands to manufacturing companies to regional service firms … and everything in between.

    Unlike traditional franchise systems that rarely perform any marketing services for their brokers, Website Closers Franchisees operate under a multi-brand umbrella, giving them a unique advantage in the marketplace and consistent new lead flow. This in return brings both local and global leads right to your doorstep. Our mission as a Franchisor is to empower our brokers with lead flow. This is not the focus of any other brokerage, which makes us stand out because normally brokers are required to market themselves, and expensive and difficult process, especially if it isn’t your strength.

    Our system also builds your knowledgebase through an extensive certification course. The certification process is 3 weeks and intensive, not only educating on how to become a business broker that closes, but more importantly, running mock deals where you get to actually interact as buyer, seller and broker to see all 3 approaches to a deal … all before you receive your first live lead. That way, when your first lead come in, you’re in a position to be successful immediately. Certification must be earned – we only want closers at this firm so if you’re unable to be certified, you may have to retake the certification process, do remedial training, or lose the opportunity to represent our firm at market. M&A is a very difficult process where many fail – our certification process builds you up, teaching you exactly what you need to do to succeed, so as long as you’re dedicated and work hard, there is no reason for you to not pass our certification.

    But the most exciting thing about this franchise opportunity is that Website Closers actively markets for you so that you don’t have to worry about lead flow – you’ll see local leads in your territory as well as digital leads spread throughout the world.

    Website Closers provides every franchise owner with a fully integrated Back-Office Support System. From NDA management and Offering Memorandum (OM) creation to individual broker web pages, lead generation, and listing syndication, our corporate team handles the heavy lifting. Franchisees don’t need to design pitch decks, write listings, market transactions, or manage compliance files — it’s all done for you. This allows each franchise owner to focus on what truly drives income: building relationships and closing deals.

    Four Deal Pipelines, One Powerful Franchise

    Together, these four brands create a complete M&A ecosystem that produces consistent lead flow across all sectors — digital, hybrid, and physical.

    Website Closers

    The world’s largest Tech, Internet, and Digital Business Brokerage. Specializing in eCommerce, Amazon, SaaS, Agencies, Apps, and online service companies.

    ValleyBiggs

    Lower to Middle-market M&A firm representing enterprise-level digital and technology transactions.

    Seller Force

    Small business brokerage specializing in Main Street companies across multiple industries.

    Deal Pipe

    The newest brand focusing exclusively on traditional, brick-and-mortar business transactions, including business services, manufacturing, healthcare, and so much more.

    Finance Your Franchise

    A Low-Barrier-to-Entry into a High-Income Industry

    Website Closers has structured one of the most accessible franchise investment models in the M&A and Business Brokerage sector. The total initial franchise fee is $55,000, which grants franchisees the full rights to operate under the Website Closers brand, access to our proprietary systems, and enrollment in Website Closers University, our comprehensive training and certification program.

    Financing Designed to Help You Launch with Confidence

    To make ownership attainable for qualified professionals, Website Closers has partnered with multiple lending institutions to offer franchise financing packages that can fund not only the franchise fee but also additional working capital for your early months of operation. These loan programs are designed specifically for new franchisees and often require little or no collateral, with competitive interest rates and flexible repayment options.

    This means you can begin building your deal pipeline immediately—without the financial strain of covering startup or living costs out of pocket. Many of our franchisees use these funds to cover several months of personal expenses, giving them the freedom to focus fully on sourcing clients, building relationships, and managing deals from day one.

    A Strategic Bridge to Your First Closings

    While the M&A business model offers exceptional earning potential, deal cycles often take several months from listing to close. The operating capital available through our lending partners provides a strategic financial runway, allowing you to sustain focus and momentum as your first transactions move toward completion. It’s a bridge between launch and profitability—designed to give you stability while you establish your market presence.

    Your Business, Fully Equipped from Day One

    Financing proceeds can be used not only for living expenses but also for essential business items such as marketing, travel, CRM setup, professional memberships, and continuing education. The goal is to ensure that every new Website Closers franchise owner launches fully equipped, fully trained, and financially prepared to succeed.

    Empowering Professionals to Transition into Ownership

    Whether you’re an executive transitioning out of corporate life, a consultant seeking a new platform, or an entrepreneur ready to take control of your income, this financing program is designed to make your entry into business ownership both practical and powerful. With low upfront costs and the ability to secure startup capital through trusted lenders, Website Closers removes the typical financial barriers to starting an M&A firm—while giving you access to the most recognized brand in digital business brokerage.

    Why This Franchise Is Different

    Owning a Website Closers Franchise means operating at the intersection of technology, entrepreneurship, and financial independence. Franchisees benefit from:

    • Four exclusive deal pipelines for maximum lead potential
    • Established brand recognition trusted by millions of business owners and buyers

    FAQs –
    Everything You Need to Know

    Choose a Category
    What is a Website Closers Franchise?

    A professional services franchise for business brokerage specializing in technology, internet, eCommerce, SaaS, Amazon FBA, and other digital-first companies, as well as traditional brick and mortar companies, all backed by the Website Closers family of brands.

    How does the franchise model work?

    You operate a local brokerage under the Website Closers brand, receive leads from Website Closers, source leads yourself as preferred, follow a proven sales process that we teach you, and earn success fees at closing. Training, systems, and ongoing operational support are all provided. We also have lending set up for interested parties to pay for the franchise fee as well as some upfront working capital until transactions start closing.

    What makes this franchise different from other brokerage franchises?

    Website Closers stands apart for its deep specialization in digital and traditional businesses through its multi-brand ecosystem. But even more important is the lead flow – no other brokerage provides leads so that the broker can focus on what matters most: closing. But even better, we will show you how to generate your own leads should you want more leads than what we give you.

    In addition, Website Closers University provides credibility and structured training tailored to modern M&A. And back-office support is a done-for-you resource, all included in your franchise. Other than the franchise fee, the only other fees we take from you are the splits from commissions as more fully outlined in the Franchise Offering Disclosure, available upon request.

    No other brokerage spends the time, money, and resources on developing you as a broker. As long as you want to learn and want to work hard, there’s millions to be made.

    Do I need prior M&A experience to qualify?

    No. Strong business or sales experience helps, but our training covers valuation, packaging, marketing, buyer screening, negotiation, and closing from the ground up. What you do need is persistence, hard work, an unbreakable ethic, and a drive to make money. With these central tenets, you can thrive and make millions annually.

    How do Website Closers, ValleyBiggs, Seller Force, and Deal Pipe work together?

    They’re sister brands serving different segments: Website Closers and ValleyBiggs lead sell-side for digital and mid-market companies; Seller Force serves small business and main-street deals; Deal Pipe focuses on local businesses within franchise owner territories.

    What types of businesses can I sell?

    We will market to business owners in the territory you purchase, plus digital transactions from around the world. If territories in your area are unsold, you may get leads from those territories as well (until they are sold).

    Is this a full-time or part-time opportunity?

    This is 100% full time. Business brokering cannot be done on the side, especially with our firm. Because we have 1.4 Million Buyers from around the globe, when a business is listed for sale … it gets busy real fast. Doing this part time will result in failure 100% of the time.

    Can I operate from home?

    Yes. This is a home-based professional services model; a traditional office is optional but certainly not necessary. If you want to meet with a client, we recommend a shared model like Regus.

    Is this franchise available in all states?

    Most U.S. markets are open, subject to franchise registration and current territory availability.

    How long does it take to launch after signing?

    After completing training, and proving full compliance with insurance and regulator requirements (which can be completed during training), most franchisees begin receiving leads immediately after training.

    How much does it cost to buy a Website Closers Franchise? is a Website Closers Franchise?

    The franchise fee is $55,000. Your FDD provides additional information as it relates to a few additional items necessary to operate, like a Zoom account and CRM. Software for this business is less than $30/month in most cases. You will also have costs associated with maintaining a real estate license and E&O insurance per company standards.

    What does the $55,000 investment include?

    The initial franchise fee covers brand rights, comprehensive training, onboarding, access to proprietary systems, launch support and initial marketing in your particular territory.

    Are there ongoing royalties or fees?

    Yes. Franchisees pay ongoing royalties via a split of commissions when companies are sold. No other fees or expenses are necessary. These fees contribute to brand marketing, back-office support and company operations, as detailed in the FDD.

    Is financing available for the franchise fee?

    Yes, third-party financing may be available for qualified candidates through approved lenders.

    Are there any hidden costs or required office expenses?

    All required expenses are disclosed in the FDD. You may incur standard items such as E&O insurance, marketing costs, and working capital, but there are no hidden fees.

    Can I start small and scale over time?

    Yes. Many owners start lean and add Associate Brokers or staff as deal flow and revenue increase.

    How does Website Closers generate leads for franchisees?

    Corporate marketing—brand websites, SEO, paid media, sales initiatives and a number of other proprietary methods are used to drive lead flow. Plus, as a leader in the space, there is continued inbound visibility through massive deal flow.

    Franchisees also build local networks and prospect directly for new clients.

    What kind of ROI can I expect?

    Earnings depend on personal effort, market conditions, and deal volume. The franchisor does not make performance guarantees beyond what’s disclosed in the FDD. But in general, as with anything else, the harder you work and ask for help as needed, the more likely you will see success.

    Are there recurring costs for marketing or technology?

    No cost of marketing, but there are modest recurring costs for technology tools and CRM systems.

    Can I sell my franchise later if I choose to exit?

    Yes. Franchises are transferable with franchisor approval and compliance with the transfer terms outlined in the FDD.

    What kind of training do franchisees receive?

    Franchisees attend comprehensive, multi-day training through Website Closers University, covering valuations, packaging, marketing, buyer screening, negotiations, mock deals, and closings.

    Who provides ongoing support after launch?

    Corporate leadership and the franchise support team provide continuous guidance, marketing resources, and deal advisory support. You can also be partnered with other brokers at the beginning of your tenure to help facilitate a smoother transition into this work flow and improve on your success rate. Two highly qualified brokers can manage much more deal flow and learn from each other, closing after closing.

    What tools and technology are included?

    Franchisees use various CRMs and conference lines, but Website Closers provides templates, valuation tools, and a number of internal methods and systems designed for deal management.

    Will I receive leads directly from the corporate team?

    Yes, you will receive leads directly from corporate. We do not provide guarantees of leads given that lead flow ebbs and flows over time and generally you will start out at smaller deal pools at the beginning while you are learning (see Franchise Disclosure Document for more on this.

    Note that if you prove incapable of closing and/or are unprofessional in the services you provide to our clients, leads will be cut off and you may be required to attend remedial training and/or barred from ongoing work. Additionally, you are required to meet certain sales parameters in order to maintain control of your territory, which will be outlined for you in the Franchise Agreement.

    How are territories defined?

    Territories and minimum sales performance requirements per territory are outlined in the franchise agreement, ensuring fair market coverage and balanced opportunity among franchisees.

    How many deals can a broker handle at one time?

    It depends on deal complexity and staffing. Many brokers manage 5+ listings simultaneously with the help of the brand’s systems and support resources.

    Is this franchise remote or location-based?

    The model is remote and home-based. Most communication is handled by phone, email, and video conferencing.

    Are there networking or annual franchise events?

    Yes. The brand hosts training sessions, online roundtables, and networking events to share best practices and strengthen collaboration.

    How does the closing process work for each deal?

    Each deal follows a structured flow: engagement, valuation, packaging, marketing, buyer screening, LOI, due diligence, and closing—culminating in your success fee.

    What kind of marketing materials do I receive?

    Franchisees gain access to approved marketing templates, pitch decks, ads, and corporate collateral, all aligned with brand standards.

    Who is the ideal Website Closers franchisee?

    A current business broker with another firm, a relationship-driven professional with strong sales or executive experience, business acumen, and a genuine interest in entrepreneurship and deal-making, an entrepreneur who has built and sold companies, and upper level management in companies.

    Can consultants or financial advisors join?

    Yes. Those with consulting, finance, or advisory backgrounds often excel in this model.

    Is this opportunity good for executives or professionals over 40?

    Yes. Experienced operators and executives leverage their networks and credibility to win clients and close deals. However, age does not matter in this business. Ability to close is our focus.

    Do I need a business degree or license?

    No degree is required. Certain states may require a business brokerage or real estate license—your support team will help you verify local regulations.

    Can women or minority entrepreneurs apply?

    Absolutely. The franchise welcomes qualified candidates from all backgrounds.

    Can this be run as a family business?

    Yes. Many franchisees involve spouses or family members as the business grows, with franchisor approval.

    What personality traits make successful brokers?

    Persistence, empathy, professionalism, and strong communication skills—combined with a consultative, solutions-oriented approach.

    How important is sales experience?

    It’s very helpful. Sales discipline and client relationship management are key to building listings and guiding deals to close.

    What are the daily activities of a franchise owner?

    Meeting with business owners, valuing companies, qualifying buyers, negotiating, and managing active deals. Back-Office Support and Marketing are handled for you. You may also market on your own in order to make even more money. And once you are seasoned, you can hire Assistant Brokers to build your team and mentor them through their deals.

    How long before I close my first deal?

    Timeframes vary. Building your first pipeline may take a few months, with most M&A transactions completing several months after engagement. However, we could never provide an accurate timeline on this as it is impossible to know who will be good at this – for example, we get to know each new franchisee during our 3 weeks of intense training, but even so, we are often surprised at who excels in M&A. It’s impossible to know – some immediately begin closing and others have a harder time meeting with success.

    Does this franchise only sell online businesses?

    No. While digital businesses are the specialty for 2 of our brands, the omni-present platform also supports many traditional industries.

    Can I represent traditional, brick-and-mortar businesses?

    Yes. Through the broader family of brands, you can represent both online and offline companies. We will market in your territory and most of those leads will be B&M in nature.

    What’s the difference between Website Closers and Deal Pipe?

    All firms we operate focus on Sell-Side representation. Website Closers focuses on Digital Transactions, and Deal Pipe focuses on Traditional Transactions. Together, they create a balanced ecosystem of deal flow.

    How do digital and physical business deals differ?

    Digital deals emphasize metrics like traffic, conversion, and scalability; physical deals focus on location, employees, and tangible assets. The brokerage process remains similar.

    hat are examples of digital companies sold by the brand?

    Amazon FBA brands, SaaS platforms, eCommerce retailers, digital agencies, robotics and AI companies, MSP and IT businesses, subscription companies and so much more.

    What are examples of traditional companies sold?

    Professional services firms, manufacturers, local retailers, and main-street businesses through Seller Force.

    How do franchisees attract both types of clients?

    By combining online marketing, local networking, and referral development—supported by the brand’s national visibility and reputation.

    Do I get access to all four brand lead sources?

    Franchisees benefit from the collective exposure of the Website Closers network. Lead distribution depends on fit and opportunity type.

    How does the franchise manage digital deal marketing?

    Confidential marketing packages are listed across the brand’s deal platforms and promoted to a curated global buyer database under NDA.

    What makes Website Closers the best business broker franchise in 2025?

    Unmatched digital expertise, full back-office support to its franchise owners, a multi-brand ecosystem, world-class training, and a global buyer network make Website Closers the most trusted and scalable brokerage franchise in modern M&A.
