(Part-Time | Deal Origination Only | No License Required)
Location: Flexible / Remote
Firm: Transworld Business Advisors (via independent referral arrangement)
Transworld is the world’s largest business brokerage with over 300 locations in more than 15 countries. Most businesses we help sell are under $20M in valuation, but we also support businesses up to $100M in valuation.
Role Overview
We are seeking experienced, well-connected professionals to join us as M&A Strategic Advisors / Origination Partners. This is a part-time, referral-based role focused exclusively on sourcing and introducing qualified business sale opportunities to our Transworld M&A team.
This role is not a business broker position, does not require a real estate or broker license, and does not involve executing transactions, valuations, or deal management.
Think of this role as the M&A equivalent of a Venture Partner for Venture Capital Firms — relationship-driven, senior, and origination-focused.
Key Responsibilities
• Source and introduce qualified business owners interested in selling their companies
• Leverage personal, professional, and industry networks to generate deal flow
• Make warm introductions between sellers and the Transworld brokerage team
• Help position opportunities at a high level (no pricing, negotiation, or execution)
• Act as a trusted connector and relationship ambassador
What This Role Does NOT Include
• No deal execution or transaction management
• No negotiations or buyer/seller representation
• No valuations or listing agreements
All transaction execution is handled exclusively by licensed Transworld Business Advisors.
Ideal Background
This role is a strong fit for:
• Former or current executives, founders, operators
• Investors, family office advisors, PE/VC professionals
• Industry executives with deep sector relationships
• Business consultants, attorneys, CPAs, or senior advisors (where permitted)
You should be comfortable opening doors, not running deals.
Compensation
• Commission-based referral compensation
• 10%–15% of gross deal fees, depending on deal size
• Paid upon successful closing of referred transactions
• No cap on earnings
Why This Role
• Flexible, part-time structure
• No licensing or regulatory burden
• Leverage your network without operational overhead
• Work alongside a nationally recognized M&A platform
• Attractive upside with minimal time commitment
Engagement Structure
• Independent contractor / referral partner relationship
• No equity, employment, or ownership implied
