their financial commitment requirements (industry, location, dimension, cost variety,
earnings requirement). While the majority of economic brokers signify the company
seller who is responsible for paying their fee and who the agent has a lawful and
fiduciary duty, customer representation has become more popular where a little business
agent will provide a variety of exclusive customer related solutions to either an
entrepreneur, corporation, or Private Equity Group (PEG) on either a fee or commission
basis.

due persistence. Therefore, having a little business broker engaged will often save the
