Super excited to join the community! I am looking for a CRM list of business brokers in the Great Lakes area (Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio) working with the following industries: Manufacturing, Water treatment, Construction. Would really appreciate if someone could share their experience of finding good brokers and lists.

I haven't seen a good published list but as a first step I built mine through web search, finding similar listings on bizbuysell and checking the listing broker and by using aggregators like X5deals to see if I was missing any of the big ones. Once you get into the more boutique areas it will be more old fashioned networking so be clear with everyone you meet on what you are looking for and why you would be a good buyer and you will be surprised how many people you will be introduced to. Feel free to message me if you would like to discuss.

Hi ^redacted‌, a fellow University of Leeds graduate. It's good to meet you! in Michigan, I can recommend Calder Capital and Haroon Bhatti at Capital Business Brokerage. Greg Light at Bodmer Price is new to the game, but worth meeting too. Let me know if you would like an introduction. Always happy to chat. DM me here or reach out at redacted
