A business opportunity (or bizopp) involves the sale or lease of any product, service, equipment, etc. that will enable the purchaser-licensee to begin a business. The licensor or seller of a business opportunity usually declares that it will secure or assist the buyer in finding a suitable location or provide the product to the purchaser-licensee. This is different from the sale of an independent business, in which there is no continued relationship required by the seller.

Concept

The use of a toll-free telephone number makes it difficult for customers to immediately identify the company's geographical location. Moreover, a company can own many 1-800 numbers, using a different one for each area in which it advertises. In the event of consumer complaints, this thwarts investigators from recognizing the connection between biz-ops listings in various newspapers.

A common type of business opportunity involves a company that sells bulk vending machines and promises to secure suitable locations for the machines. The purchaser is counting on the company to find locations where sales will be high enough to enable him to recoup his expenses and make a profit. Because of the many cases of fraudulent biz-ops in which companies have not followed through on their promises, or in which profits were much less than what the company led the investor to believe, governments closely regulate these operations.

Multi-level marketing is often presented as a business opportunity, such as the phrase, "Let me tell you about an incredible ground-level business opportunity."

In the United States, the Federal Trade Commission receives complaints and helps coordinate enforcement action against fraudulent business opportunities.

Is buying an insurance brokerage a good business opportunity?
Q. Where does running an insurance brokerage rank amongst the many business opportunities out there?
Asked by samikesd - Mon Mar 10 15:41:55 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The answer depends upon the opportunity presented to you. In addition to the total cost and and how the pay off would be structured there are lots of other considerations. Here are a few things to think about: How long has the brokerage been in business? What is the reputation in the community? Is the brokerage a life insurance agency? Or is the brokerage primarily property & casualty? What insurance companies does the brokerage represent? How many customers does the brokerage have? How long will the owners stay to help with the transition? Are there any employees? Will they stay on? Are there any large accounts that might be lost due to the change in ownership? Is the brokerage profitable?
