Business brokers are the go to people when you want to sell or purchase a small to midsize business. Some business brokers or business firms call themselves that, business brokers, while others use terms like business intermediary, business transfer specialist or transaction adviser.

Perhaps one of the biggest services provided by these professionals is the ability to allow owners to stay focused on running their business during the sale process. They handle the exposure that is required to attract prospective buyers, screen buyers, and coordinate negotiations, advise and maintain confidentiality through this process.

Business Consultants provide organizational change, management assistance, development of coaching skills, technology implementation, strategy development, or operational improvement services. Business Consultants are now often referred to as Management Consultants, and generally bring their own proprietary methodologies or frameworks to guide the identification of problems, and to serve as the basis for recommendations for more effective or efficient ways of performing business tasks.
