A business broker directory is a curated list of business brokers and M&A advisors that helps owners and buyers find the right professional by industry, state, and deal type.

Both. Many brokers focus on a home state or region, while others operate nationally (especially for specialized industries or larger deals). Use the state list if geography is most important, and use the industry list if specialization matters most.
Fees vary, but many brokers earn a success fee at closing based on total deal value. Some transactions also include an engagement fee, especially for larger deals or when heavy marketing and buyer outreach is required.
