I was in aircraft sales for a few years and owned a brokerage myself. It is tough work and a very unregulated industry. You wouldn't believe the lengths people will go through to try and get around paying you a commission. We sold mostly retired airliners and the money was good but the ulcers weren't.

If you want to get into the business, definitely try to get in to an established firm. There are a few very big guys out there that buy their inventory so they don't have the problems the standard broker has. It is extremely difficult to gain credibility and get folks to deal with you. Several companies will pay on a draw schedule but some are straight commission.

Do lots of research and know biz jets and turbo props inside and out then go talk to the guys and show motivation.

Good luck!
