The support to succeed

As a LINK business broker, you have access to smart tools, advice and resources:

LINK’s own online training tool, individually adapted for each country and certified through our Franchisor Office. LINK.Academy is a workplace training system and competency-based standards programme, which translates into proven training and operational procedures. These have been documented in easy-to-follow sales manuals, incorporating appropriate policies, protocols and practices. LINK.Academy counts towards five hours of non-verifiable training, approved by the REA.

LINK’s award-winning proprietary appraisal tool offers a detailed, accurate appraisal of a seller’s business, based on global sales data and finely-tuned algorithms. This data is drawn from thousands of business sales, sourced from our own sales records and third parties. Valu.LINK generates a professional report for the broker and the seller.

We developed, and are continuously refining, the world’s most powerful cloud-based business broking CRM system. Designed by brokers for brokers, One.LINK is securely accessible by all LINK brokers.
