BBN Brokers?? http://www.bbnbrokers.com/
Business Brokers Network
We all know I am still actively searching for my next opportunity, while trying to make the "best" of unemployment. But I was just contacted by this group, and am curious if there is anyone out there that has used them, is affiliated with them, or have a working knowledge of the group.
I get the concept of it, timing seems wrong IMO pertaining to buying and purchasing a business even though there are great deals to be had. You essentailly pay 5% to them as a service fee on the commissions made, and a one time sign-up fee of $16k to be apart of them. Then you operate as a your own company, with their network behind you. Sounds interesting, but I don't want to waste my time or theirs for that matter in the second part of the interview. I must have passed the first part... here are basically the questions:
Are you interested in being an employee or in business for yourself. (I said either, depening on opportuntities, not knowing truly who they were, but is how I feel.)
Does this sound intriguiing to you? (THe BBN info he shared) I said yes.
There is a one time non-recurring fee of $16k to be apart of the BBN network... are you in a financial position to be able to do that? I said yes. He then mentions it is only after I get down to Dallas to meet the principals of the company to make sure we are a match.
Voila, I am on two round two. Basically not sure how I felt about the conversation, so immediate red flags for me. ANyone have any thoughts??
