Business brokers also often referred to as business intermediaries meet with the business owner, understand the business up for sale, review the financial information, market the business, attract buyers and also vet them. Although, business brokers may have a real estate license they are not active practitioners, this is where real estate agents benefit from aligning with business brokers because real estate agents are practitioners.
