experienced Business Brokers act as intermediaries between Buyers and Sellers of businesses, and work in helping all parties complete the sale. A business broker is similar to a real estate broker to the extent that they try to put buyers and sellers together. Instead of real estate being sold, they focus on businesses. The criteria to become a business broker varies from country to country and their individual training, history, specialty and area of expertise are things that you must investigate.
Business Brokers work on commission and if you do not ultimately buy a business then any work that they have done for you is not compensated. Brokers prefer to work with knowledgeable buyers and if they have to spend their time educating you then they cannot make money. They can be an effective tool for you to use if you can provide them with a clear mandate of what it is that you are looking to buy. Avoid generalities; explain your strengths, weaknesses and objectives and never mislead them.
