The first shared broker network in Australia. Keep 100% of your commissions. Keep your brand. Get the national buyer pool, the shared comparables database, and the world's most advanced deal execution platform.
Illustrative splits based on industry norms. BBNA charges a fixed annual membership; the network takes no percentage of any deal, ever.
A side-by-side look at what you actually get — and what you give up — under each model.
| Attribute | Option 1 National Franchise | Option 2 Independent, Alone | Option 3 BBNA Member |
|---|---|---|---|
| Commission kept | 50–65% | 100% | 100% |
| Your brand on the door | Their brand | Your brand | Your brand |
| Buyer pool | Franchise-controlled | Yours alone | 20,000+ shared national pool |
| Live comparables database | Limited to franchise deals | None — build your own | Every settled network deal |
| Deal-execution platform | Basic CRM, generic tools | Whatever you build yourself | CIM-PRO included |
| Peer network | Same-franchise brokers only | You’re on your own | National community + annual Exchange |
| Group-negotiated rates (PI/AML/portals/AIBB) | Set by head office | You pay retail | Wholesale, negotiated by BBNA |
| Ownership of your book | Franchise owns mandates + data | You own everything | You own everything |
| If you leave | Restraint clauses, buy-out fees, territory reverts | Nothing to leave | Walk any year after Year 1. Everything stays yours. |
| Typical annual cost | $80,000–$150,000 (as % of GCI) | $10,000–$25,000 (your own tools) | $15,000 flat (+ GST, no per-deal cut) |
Franchise cost estimates based on 40–50% GCI splits on a $450K broker book. Independent tool costs based on CIM-PRO, HubSpot, Pipedrive, and DealCloud published rates. BBNA membership is fixed and includes The Platform, the network, negotiated group rates, and a reserved seat at the annual Exchange.
Every buyer who signs an NDA on any BBNA listing is instantly registered in the network pool. The AI continuously matches every active listing against every buyer — by sector, size, geography, deal structure. Buyers you'd never have found on your own arrive in your CRM in seconds, not weeks.
Your sellers stay 100% yours. BBNA never sees, contacts, or owns your seller relationships — during your membership, or if you ever leave. What flows across the network is buyer intelligence and settled-deal data. You don't share buyers. The network does.
Every BBNA member operates under their own brand. Not ours. Your reputation is the thing you've spent years building — we're not going to paint over it.
Every listing, every referral, every satisfied client compounds under your business name — not ours. When you sell your business one day, you sell what you built. Not a franchise territory that reverts back.
Franchises put their name on everything — your signage, your shirts, your emails, your reputation. BBNA appears as a considered “member of” endorsement on your listing advertising and buyer enquiry pages so buyers know their details enter the shared network. Never louder than your own brand.
Keep the domain you own. Drop BBNA's live listings iframe into your existing site — your "Businesses for Sale" page, powered by The Platform, on your URL. No migration. No rebrand. No compromise.
You spent years earning your reputation.
BBNA amplifies it. Never replaces it.
Think “Intel Inside” or “Powered by AWS.” A considered mark that adds credibility without competing for attention. One consistent endorsement: “Powered by BBNA” across every touchpoint — signage, email signatures, website footers, listings. Your brand leads everywhere. BBNA sits quietly below — as endorsement, and as the plain-English disclosure to buyers that their enquiry enters the shared national buyer pool.
One consistent endorsement across every touchpoint. The BBNA mark tells buyers their enquiry enters the shared national buyer pool — a disclosure requirement, not a marketing one. Your brand always leads.
Salesforce was built for selling software subscriptions. HubSpot was built for marketing agencies. CIM-PRO was built for one thing: closing deals faster, with less admin and full visibility across every mandate. Every BBNA member gets full access.
60-second walkthrough. Buyer contact details in the AI-matching demo are blurred for privacy — the network runs on real data.
One platform replaces multiple systems, spreadsheets, and documents. Automate tasks and manage your deals and pipeline in one place with unmatched efficiency and control.
Stand out and build trust with secure, cutting-edge, web-based appraisals, proposals, and CIMs powered by advanced valuation tools and live market insights.
Live buyer insights, AI-powered buyer matching, automated workflows, and interactive media-rich CIMs that convert seamlessly into secure integrated VDRs.
Handle more listings, more buyers, more deals with the same team. Admin bottlenecks are gone — so you can grow revenue, not payroll.
CIM-PRO's AI intelligently surfaces the right buyers for each listing — drawing on deal criteria, acquisition history, and engagement signals to rank your buyer universe by fit and readiness. Every buyer who signs an NDA on any BBNA listing joins the network pool. The AI tells you exactly who to call next — and why. Every settled deal feeds BBNA Comparables. Intelligence that compounds every day.
Four proven methodologies — Multiple of Earnings, Multiple of Revenue, Asset + Earnings, DCF. Normalized balance sheet, business risk calculator, stock-sale vs. business-sale comparisons. AI-generated commentary. One click to convert into a CIM.
Web-based, media-rich CIMs with embedded video, satellite mapping, and photo galleries. AI generates industry overviews and SWOT analysis. Buyers submit offers inside the CIM. Track who viewed what, in real time.
Buyer/seller pipelines purpose-built for dealflow. Live engagement tracking on every CIM open, VDR view, and document download. Complete contact history and mandate visibility.
The VDR auto-populates from the CIM — no double handling. Structured file requests, tiered permissions, instant access revocation, and a full Data Room Index Report audit trail at closing.
Automatically send NDAs, approvals, buyer updates, reminders and follow-ups via email and SMS. Your process runs itself — while you focus on negotiations.
Every buyer action — CIM opens, VDR access, document views, time spent — feeds the contact record in real time. CIM-PRO replaces guesswork with data. Rank your buyer universe by engagement. Focus your day on the ones who are actually reading the CIM.
Jade has been exceptionally helpful. The onboarding was smoother than any platform I've used.
CIM-PRO transformed the way our engagements are presented to the market.
Excellent feedback from clients — the CIMs really stand out.
"We don't franchise. We don't take equity in your book. We don't dilute your brand.
We negotiate the best deals from the market, and we give them to our members. Every rebate we earn is disclosed. Every supplier relationship is terminable. Our members come first — because without them, there is no network.
And every month, on behalf of every member, we give — to B1G1 projects worldwide. Because a network is more than deals; it's what the deals make possible."
The room where the next decade of Australian broking gets written.
For twenty years the country's best independent brokers have worked alone. Different states. Different brands. Same problems solved twenty different ways.
In October 2027, for the first time, the whole network is in one room. Three days on the Gold Coast. Peers who’ve closed the deals you’re working on now. Live deal reviews with the brokers who ran them. Buyer-side panels with the actual acquirers writing the cheques. Comparables reviewed line by line by the people who set the price.
No hotel-ballroom trade show. No sponsor speeches. No PowerPoint parade. A working room of operators — talking directly, without the franchise script.
You’ll leave with deals in progress.
Referrals you couldn’t have engineered.
And the twenty-year story of what happens next — written in the room.
