The Emerging Opportunity in Business Funding
In an industry dominated by traditional career paths like real estate, a new frontier is emerging: business funding agencies. While real estate remains a respected profession, the numbers tell an interesting story about where the next big opportunity lies.
Last year, just over 4 million homes were sold in America. What's striking is that there are more than 3 million licensed real estate agents competing for these transactions. That's nearly a one-to-one ratio, creating an intensely competitive environment for both newcomers and established agents.
