Advice on this Business/Luxury Item Brokering Model Please...
Some advice please. I've been kicking around a business brokering-type concept for a while, but am stuck on an aspect of it and would like some advice please.
Here's the model:
1) Find a business/boat/helicopter that is on sale (not difficult). Phone them up and offer to refer potential buyers to them, for a percentage of the sale - as long as they still get their desired asking price as a minimum.
2) Place ads for the business/luxury item in various places (ebay/gumtree etc), for a price above the original price, allowing me to make a cut while still making sure the seller gets his minimum asking price.
3) Go back and forth between the seller and buyer with any questions buyers may have.
4) Potential buyer goes to visit the business/check equipment/test drive luxury item, etc (he's not going to buy without checking what he's buying first obviously).
5) Buyer agrees to buy the business/item and we use escrow account to take/send money between buyer and seller, making sure I get my cut before sending payment to seller.
The problem I foresee is when the buyer goes to visit the premises (if there is one), or checks the equipment, or test drives the item, etc. There is all likelihood the buyer will come face-to-face with the seller, and they will strike up a better deal between them, cutting me out of the equation - even though I referred the buyer to the seller.
Can anyone see a better way around this?
Cheers.
Happy new Year 2019
