Northern & Central New Jersey  |  Must be New Jersey-based 

Transworld Ascend represents owners of privately held New Jersey companies in selling their businesses. We're adding advisors who want to build a practice, not take a job. 


Commission split: 50% of gross fees on the first $100,000 you generate in a calendar year, 60% on everything above that. The 60% applies to the increment, not retroactively. 


Typical engagements are businesses with $1M–$25M in revenue. Fees are generally 6–12% of transaction value, with a $25,000 minimum. 


Example: a business with $2M in revenue and $500K in seller's discretionary earnings might sell for 3x earnings, or $1,500,000. A 10% fee generates $150,000. If it's your first closing of the year, you take home $80,000: $50,000 on the first $100,000 and $30,000 on the remaining $50,000. Everything after that in the same year is at 60%. 


What it takes to get there. This is a 1099, commission-only practice. First closings typically land 12–18 months out: you have to originate engagements first, and they run 9–12 months from signed listing to close. Advisors who succeed here start with enough personal runway to cover that period and the temperament to build a pipeline from nothing. If that's not your situation right now, we'd rather say so here than four months in. 

The work

Three things at once: originating engagements, positioning businesses for sale, and managing transactions from listing through close. Day-to-day:

• Finding and winning sell-side engagements
• Building referral relationships with CPAs, attorneys, commercial bankers, and wealth advisors
• Meeting with owners, reviewing financials, and working through valuation
• Preparing and confidentially marketing businesses for sale
• Screening and qualifying buyers
• Negotiating terms and deal structure
• Coordinating diligence, financing, and closing

You generate most of your own business. House leads are assigned as available, but they supplement your origination, not substitute for it. Anyone who tells you otherwise about a brokerage role is selling you something.
 

Compensation

1099 independent contractor. No base salary, draw, or benefits. Earnings depend on your production and the size and timing of your closings. We guarantee no level of income.
 

What you get

•  Onboarding and ongoing coaching from experienced advisors
• One week of training at Transworld's Florida headquarters (training and lodging covered; expect about $1,000 of your own for travel and meals)
• Transworld's CRM, transaction management, and valuation tools
• Marketing templates, listing materials, and process documentation
• A national and international network of Transworld brokers and buyers

You set your own schedule and run your practice as your own business.
 

Who tends to do well here

People who have already sold something complicated to a business owner and have a network to call on. Common backgrounds: B2B or consultative sales, commercial banking, wealth management, commercial real estate, accounting, law, consulting, and business ownership or executive leadership.
 
A bachelor's degree is preferred, not required. No real estate or securities license is required for this role in New Jersey.
 
What matters more:

•  You are comfortable prospecting and asking for the business
• You can read a P&L and balance sheet and understand what they say about a company
• You can hold a confidence, without exception
• You can manage several relationships and live transactions at once
• You want to build a practice over years, not close a few deals and move on 

To apply

Send a resume and a short note on why you're interested. If your background fits, we'll set up a conversation to walk through the commission structure, the ramp-up period, and what your first year would realistically look like.
