What are the differences between M&A Advisors and Business Brokers?

Business brokerage focuses on smaller, simpler transactions involving businesses with revenues typically ranging from a few hundred thousand to several million dollars and often involving individual buyers or small investment groups. Brokers handle the entire process, including valuation, marketing, and negotiations. In contrast, M&A advisory deals with larger, more complex transactions involving middle-market or large businesses, often with revenues in the tens of millions. M&A advisors provide strategic consulting, assist with deal structuring, and work with institutional buyers like private equity firms. These negotiations are typically more complex.
