Why Choose Website Closers?
Own a Franchise That Fully Supports & Certifies You
The Website Closers Franchise System gives entrepreneurs the chance to build a professional business brokerage that represents company owners across industries, valuations, and geographies. Our brokers help founders sell their businesses — from high-growth eCommerce brands to manufacturing companies to regional service firms … and everything in between.
Unlike traditional franchise systems that rarely perform any marketing services for their brokers, Website Closers Franchisees operate under a multi-brand umbrella, giving them a unique advantage in the marketplace and consistent new lead flow. This in return brings both local and global leads right to your doorstep. Our mission as a Franchisor is to empower our brokers with lead flow. This is not the focus of any other brokerage, which makes us stand out because normally brokers are required to market themselves, and expensive and difficult process, especially if it isn’t your strength.
Our system also builds your knowledgebase through an extensive certification course. The certification process is 3 weeks and intensive, not only educating on how to become a business broker that closes, but more importantly, running mock deals where you get to actually interact as buyer, seller and broker to see all 3 approaches to a deal … all before you receive your first live lead. That way, when your first lead come in, you’re in a position to be successful immediately. Certification must be earned – we only want closers at this firm so if you’re unable to be certified, you may have to retake the certification process, do remedial training, or lose the opportunity to represent our firm at market. M&A is a very difficult process where many fail – our certification process builds you up, teaching you exactly what you need to do to succeed, so as long as you’re dedicated and work hard, there is no reason for you to not pass our certification.
But the most exciting thing about this franchise opportunity is that Website Closers actively markets for you so that you don’t have to worry about lead flow – you’ll see local leads in your territory as well as digital leads spread throughout the world.
Website Closers provides every franchise owner with a fully integrated Back-Office Support System. From NDA management and Offering Memorandum (OM) creation to individual broker web pages, lead generation, and listing syndication, our corporate team handles the heavy lifting. Franchisees don’t need to design pitch decks, write listings, market transactions, or manage compliance files — it’s all done for you. This allows each franchise owner to focus on what truly drives income: building relationships and closing deals.
Why This Franchise Is Different
Owning a Website Closers Franchise means operating at the intersection of technology, entrepreneurship, and financial independence. Franchisees benefit from:
- Four exclusive deal pipelines for maximum lead potential
- Established brand recognition trusted by millions of business owners and buyers
- Back-End Support for CIMs, NDAs and other administrative work
- Comprehensive training & mentorship directly from experienced dealmakers
- Scalable, low-overhead business model with remote work flexibility
- Built-in credibility from operating under the #1 brokerage for digital businesses
- Team Atmosphere to work as a collective, rather than in a silo
- Leadership from ownership, always available to assist deal teams in transaction matters
This is more than a franchise — it’s a professional pathway into M&A that no other firm on the planet offers.

History
Website Closers is the Globe’s Largest Tech & Internet Business Brokerage – Why Even Consider Anybody Else?
Our team has been working on digital business transactions since the early days of the Internet. Beginning in 1998, our Founders and the team members behind them began honing their skills in M&A. In addition, they built, purchased, and sold a vast number of Technology & Internet companies throughout all these years. They have taken that operational and transactional experience and built the largest, and by far, most tech-focused business brokerage anywhere, which is now a Global Franchise – the only one in this space.
Today, Website Closers is known for its massive volume of deal flow along with the quality of their listings and brokers. This is evident from the thousands of customer reviews built up over the years. The company runs transactions as small as $1 Million and up to $1 Billion, with brokers in place to handle all digital business types and deal sizes.
Today, the definition of a “digital business” has changed dramatically from the early years. While the core of the company is eCommerce, Amazon, SaaS, Digital Marketing, Websites, eLearning, Affiliate and so much more, the truth is that Website Closers represents virtually any business, worldwide, as long as it touches the digital space in some fashion. For instance, a 3PL that moves eCommerce Goods, a Podcast Production Company, an Influencer Network, and so much more. The digital business model is now inherent in just about any type of business, so we recommend that you have a conversation with us to see if your business falls within our competency. And if it doesn’t, we have firms under common ownership that also operate in the Bricks & Mortar space – so no matter the type of company you have – we can help.
Selling an Online Business, or any other business in the Digital Space, can be a highly exciting, but also stressful, process. We encourage you to seek out the best when selling your company because with all of the time and energy poured into the business over time, don’t risk a less experienced broker that may turn an easy process into a nightmare. This does happen – just review our video testimonials or listen to our Deal Closers Podcast – there you will hear the experiences of our clients, many of whom failed with other brokerages and ultimately closed with us.
Ideal Candidate
Who We’re Looking For
You don’t need prior M&A experience — only motivation, communication skills, and a desire to help business owners achieve successful exits. Our system allows you to work yourself up, from lower deal pools into large multi-million dollar transactions. As long as you’re hungry and like to work hard, this is a tremendous opportunity to not only earn an excellent living, but also build a team under you of Associate Brokers that you manage.
And the goal in the end is to build your own franchise team and then sell that business down the road.
