Business Brokers Network was founded in 1981. The company
headquarters is located at 9330 LBJ Freeway, Suite 740, Dallas,
Texas 75243. There are more than twenty staff members at this
location involved in various aspects of business brokerage,
merger & acquisitions, deal structuring, and other professional
services provided to affiliates, business owners and prospective
buyers.
Over
the years, we have grown to more than four hundred and fifty
affiliates covering all fifty states and Canada, the largest
business brokerage network in the world. Though independently
owned and operated, each office operates under a standardized
system. Each BBN Affiliate Broker is able to list a business
anywhere in the country and that business can be presented, in
person, to potential buyers anywhere in the country. This allows
business owners to have more than just the services of a local
business broker who normally only markets the business on a local
or, at best, regional basis. With BBN business owners have the
advantage of each of the nationwide network offices.
Due to
BBN's expansion, clients are no longer geographically restricted
to the local or regional services offered by most "neighborhood"
brokers. When utilizing the largest brokerage network in the
world, business owners have the distinct advantage and
availability of a nationwide web of accessible offices.
Business Brokers Network takes pride in being an active
participant in professional, business, and trade organizations and
associations.
