[quote=Squash1]I have a friend who is looking to leave EDJ, and was curious about different B/Ds. He took a look at LPL and was wondering what else there is out there. I came up with RJ,Commonwealth and mine(not disclosing).

Cambridge

Yeah - mine (but like you, not disclosing).    Or, I guess you could have just mentioned the b/d name and NOT disclosed it was YOUR b/d, but what the heck …

More seriously, asking such a general question is akin to asking which car is best for your friend. 

If you want more helpful feedback, provide more useful information.  Better yet, have your friend actually do due dilligence on several prospective b/ds.  That out to satisfy his “curiousity.” 

Otherwise, check out the gazillions of articles in the many magazines you both receive for free that itemize in exhausting detail the stats on hundreds of b/ds.   Check out the mag that is the sponsor of this forum, as well as the others - they are all filled with information (i.e. marketing) on b/ds.  Hardly surprising, if you follow the money.

There used to be a website that, had a breakdown, of all b/ds: average production, average payouts, average ticket charges, technology etc… But can’t seem to find that anymore.
