Is there a curated list of SMB databases that new searchers can use to kick off the search process? In the same vein, any recommendations on finding brokers who can support deal discovery for searchers?

I would suggest starting with Bizbuysell.com which has the largest # of listings of for sale businesses brokered by business brokers and fsbo. I would look through either a) the sectors you are interested in or b) the locations you are interested in. You can see who posted the deal and I find this is a good way to find active brokers in your sector and/or location that are worth having follow-ups to.

Bizbuysell is the common starting point, from there, I've found brokers in areas of interest and then explored their specific websites and/or got in touch with them directly.
Equire.co is another similar site to bizbuysell, but paywalled.
