Looking for a good M&A advisor or business broker that can help find a business to buy without charging a retainer or up front costs. Any recommendations?

Most retainers are in the $5-$15k side and free up a good amount of time. They will often rebate the retainer as part of their total deal fee.

Should be such a small % of the total search costs (over a two year) period that I wouldn't sweat it if you value the time the broker saves you over $5-$15k (assuming you can redeploy that time in more value added activities).

Likely tough to get quality buyside M&A advisory without a retainer. I'd reach out to business brokers, letting them know what you're looking for, and they will bring things your way if they fit your criteria.
