Find the arrangement that works for your business.

Request a written explanation of the proposed arrangement. Ask what is included, what is optional, what is charged separately and when amounts become payable. Clarify any transaction charges, technology costs, brand-related charges, workspace costs and other items that apply.

Look at a quieter year, your expected year and a stronger year. Think about cash flow as well as annual totals. An arrangement should make sense for how your business operates and the stage you are at.

Consider the tasks you handle yourself, the outside services you already pay for and where you need guidance. Ask how brokerage staff, marketing resources, technology and training could fit into that picture. Specific examples help you judge whether the support will be useful to you.

Your priorities may shift as you grow, start a team or change the way you work. Ask what flexibility is available, what conditions apply and how changes to an arrangement are handled.

A split option is available, and we can discuss how it fits your business alongside the support you want to use. Bring your questions and your goals. We will walk through the details so you can decide whether it is the right fit.
