Threaded messaging by listing and deal, with read receipts, file attachments, and NDA-gated access.
Three-tier verification system validating identity, credentials, and financial capacity of all participants.
Opt-in calendar system with Google Calendar, Outlook, and GHL integration for calls, meetings, and tours.
Universal deal pipeline from initial inquiry through closing with automated stage progression.
Every click, view, inquiry, message, and deal stage change is logged and attributed.
A nationwide listing exchange where verified business brokers list businesses for sale, search for acquisition targets, collaborate on deals, and track referral commissions.
Each listing contains two tiers of visibility. The Public Tier is visible to all verified platform users and includes industry category, geographic region, asking price, revenue, SDE, business type, listing broker, and status. The NDA-Gated Tier becomes accessible only after the buyer signs an NDA through the platform, revealing the business name, exact address, financial statements, lease details, employee information, customer concentration data, and the full Confidential Information Memorandum.
Enter criteria — industry, location, price range, revenue, SDE — and receive ranked results sorted by relevance, freshness, and broker response rate.
Save search criteria and receive instant, daily, or weekly notifications when new listings match your parameters.
The platform analyzes buyer profiles and proactively suggests listings. Brokers receive 'Buyer Match' notifications for qualified buyers.
Two brokers formally agree to co-broker a deal with configurable commission splits tracked by the platform.
Opt-in referral system with automatic 25% referral commission tracking. Per-client authorization required.
See which territories have active brokers, listing counts per region, and request introductions to brokers in specific markets.

Business owners list their own business for sale without hiring a listing broker. Self-service channel that feeds into the broader MLS ecosystem.
Verify email and phone, complete a basic identity check. Under 5 minutes.
Guided multi-step form with plain language — no brokerage jargon. Auto-save ensures nothing is lost.
Show business name publicly or keep confidential. Opt into broker network. Enable appointment scheduling.
Listing appears on the FSBO section. If opted in, brokers see it with a 'Broker Commission Available' badge.
Respond, request NDAs, share documents, and schedule appointments — all within the platform.
When a broker finds an FSBO listing matching one of their buyers, they send an inquiry identifying themselves as a verified broker with a qualified buyer. The FSBO owner reviews the broker's profile, can schedule an appointment, and agrees on terms. The standard commission is 6% total (95% to broker, 5% to YBR technology fee). The deal flows through the platform's deal tracker for full protection and documentation.
Includes a 30-minute assessment call with a YBR broker, basic financial document review (P&L, tax returns), and a "Verified by YBR" badge on the listing. The badge indicates a qualified broker has reviewed the basic financial claims and found them within a reasonable range.
| Item | Cost | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Basic FSBO Listing | $100 / first 3 months, then $50/mo | Self-service listing, messaging, inquiry management |
| Verified Listing Badge | $195 one-time | Broker assessment, financial review, trust badge |
| Broker Commission (opt-in) | 6% of sale price | 95% to broker, 5% to YBR tech fee |
| Featured Placement | $75/mo add-on | Top placement in search results |
Every participant must be verified before engaging in transactions. Fast but thorough — brokers in under 24 hours, buyers and sellers in under 10 minutes.
| Tier | Name | Requirements | Capabilities Unlocked |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | Identity Verified | Email + phone verification, government ID upload | Browse listings, save searches, send inquiries |
| Tier 2 | Financially Qualified | Proof of funds or pre-qualification letter; business ownership docs (sellers) | Sign NDAs, access confidential data, schedule appointments |
| Tier 3 | Platform Certified | Professional license verification (brokers); YBR training; financial audit (high-value) | List on MLS, co-broker, referral network, white-label portal |
State Licensing Disclosure: 33 states do not require a specific license to practice business brokerage. For these states, brokers sign a disclosure and agree to the YBR Code of Ethics. For states requiring licensure (including Florida and New York, where YBR holds broker licenses), the platform verifies credentials before activation.
Opt-in calendar system — no participant is required to offer availability, but those who do see significantly higher engagement rates.
Connect your calendar (Google Calendar, Outlook, or GHL) and define available days/hours, meeting duration options (15, 30, or 60 minutes), buffer time, meeting types (phone, video, in-person), and maximum meetings per day. Bidirectional sync ensures external calendar blocks are reflected on the platform.
Verified users see a "Schedule a Call" button on listings and profiles. Select a time slot, add a note, and confirm. Both parties receive email confirmation with .ics file, SMS confirmation, 24-hour and 1-hour reminders, and a post-appointment follow-up prompt.
| Type | Duration | Typical Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Initial Inquiry Call | 15 min | Buyer wants to learn more before signing NDA |
| Broker Consultation | 30 min | FSBO owner discussing working with a broker |
| Financial Review | 60 min | Buyer and seller review financials after NDA |
| Property Tour | Scheduled | Buyer visits the business location (post-NDA) |
| Deal Discussion | 30–60 min | Parties discuss offer terms, due diligence, or closing |
Commercial properties, leasing, and industrial space — all living exclusively on the Business MLS Network with a broker link-through syndication system.
| Type | Description | Key Fields |
|---|---|---|
| Property for Sale | Commercial buildings, retail centers, offices, warehouses | Price, sq ft, cap rate, NOI, zoning |
| Space for Lease | Office suites, retail, restaurant spaces, industrial bays | Rent/sq ft, lease term, NNN/gross, TI allowance |
| Land | Vacant commercial land, development sites | Acreage, zoning, utilities, entitlements |
| Industrial | Manufacturing, distribution, flex space | Clear height, dock doors, power, crane capacity |
Commercial listings on the Business MLS Network support a three-option link-through system that benefits both the platform and participating brokers. All options are tracked with full attribution — every click, inquiry, and deal is recorded.
Listings include a 'View on Broker's Site' button sending traffic to the broker's own website. The buyer discovers listings on the MLS, clicks through to the broker's site — tracked as a referral metric.
Brokers with listings on external platforms create inbound links to the Business MLS Network, gaining exposure to the entire broker network with clear attribution.
Opt-in cross-display: listings appear on other network brokers' white-label portals. A broker in Miami sees Dallas listings and vice versa. Originating broker always gets the lead.
New franchise locations, franchise resales, multi-unit packages, and master franchise rights — integrated with YBR's franchise consulting service.
| Type | Description | Revenue Model |
|---|---|---|
| New Franchise Location | Franchisor selling territory rights | Listing fee + referral commission |
| Franchise Resale | Existing franchisee selling their location | Standard 6% commission |
| Multi-Unit Package | Multiple franchise locations sold together | Standard 6% commission |
| Master Franchise | Regional or national master franchise rights | Negotiated commission |
Franchise Consulting Integration: Buyers who inquire about franchise listings are offered a free consultation with YBR's franchise advisory team. If the buyer engages YBR for franchise consulting ($36K package), the consulting fee is credited against any future transaction commission.
The connective tissue of the entire platform — find brokers, refer deals across territories, track commissions, and build a nationwide practice.
The Broker Client Protection Policy is the cornerstone of the network's trust model. It is written into every Broker Platform Agreement and enforced at the technology level:
No Data Sharing — The platform will never sell, share, or distribute a broker's client data.
No Active Referral — The platform will never redirect a broker's clients to a competing broker.
No Solicitation — The platform will never solicit a broker's clients for competing services.
Complete Data Segregation — Each broker's client data is stored in a logically separated partition.
When a broker refers a deal to another broker, the platform creates a formal referral agreement, tracks the deal through the pipeline, and automatically calculates the referral commission (default 25% of the receiving broker's commission) at closing. Both brokers see the referral status in their dashboards. A broker's clients are never entered into the referral pool without explicit, per-client authorization.
Every transaction flows through a standardized 10-stage pipeline with automated progression, milestone reminders, and document requirements.

Buyer signs NDA for confidential access
Buyer reviews Confidential Info Memorandum

Mandatory Platform Tracking: All deal flow must pass through the platform to ensure the 3% technology fee is properly calculated and billed. This is a non-negotiable requirement of the Broker Platform Agreement. Deals that fall through are recorded with the reason, and the listing returns to active status.
Property management companies list their inventory, set broker commission rates, and track activity — all from a dedicated portfolio dashboard.
Management companies own or operate commercial properties, business locations, and multi-unit portfolios. Instead of hiring individual listing brokers for each property, they list their entire portfolio on the Business MLS Network and let the broker network compete for the deals. The management company sets the commission rate, and brokers who bring qualified buyers or tenants earn that commission — tracked and paid through the platform.
List and manage all properties from a single dashboard. Bulk upload, status tracking, and performance metrics per property.
Set custom commission rates per property or portfolio-wide. Offer bonus commissions for priority listings to incentivize faster closings.
See which brokers are viewing, inquiring, and showing your properties. Track engagement metrics and conversion rates per broker.
Message brokers directly through the platform. Respond to inquiries, negotiate terms, and schedule property tours.
Enable brokers to book property tours and meetings directly. Calendar integration with Google, Outlook, and GHL.
Upload property docs (leases, financials, floor plans) to a secure vault. Control which documents require NDA access.
| Scenario | Commission Rate | Who Sets It | Platform Fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Listing | Configurable (typically 3–6%) | Management company | 3% tech fee on closed deals |
| Priority / Bonus Listing | Higher rate (e.g., 8%) | Management company | 3% tech fee on closed deals |
| Lease Transaction | Configurable (typically 4–6% of annual rent) | Management company | 3% tech fee |
| Portfolio Package Deal | Negotiated bulk rate | Management company + YBR | 3% tech fee |
List your entire portfolio, set your own commission rates, and let the broker network bring you qualified buyers and tenants. Full visibility into every interaction — no surprises, no hidden fees. You control the terms.
Browse management company portfolios, see commission rates upfront before you invest time, and earn commissions on properties you close. Priority listings with bonus commissions are flagged in search results.
Verification Required: Management companies must complete Tier 2 verification (entity documentation, proof of property ownership or management authority) before listing. All properties are reviewed by YBR before going live on the network.
Brokers get their own branded website powered by YBR technology, with full access to the Business MLS Network search and listing database.
