There will be some who are more comfortable with handling acquisitions while there may be others who prefer to deal with mergers. For example, there are brokers who are specialists at dealing with business mergers, while others are experts at acquiring new businesses.

In addition to charging a fixed fee, most brokers will also charge a commission fee. This commission amount may be calculated on the selling or purchase price of the business. However if you are going into an industry that you are not familiar with, or sellers or buyers that you don't know, or dealing with very large businesses then you will be better of using the services of a good and experienced business broker.
