Thoughts on broker businesses?

RFPs for industrial supplies from large scale buyers, import/export, etc. I’ve been seeing a few that do very well, but it’s very tied up in the owners relationships. Not a ton of hard sellable assets, most seem hard to scale. Anyone have experience with these or a POV for how to approach?

Although not the type of brokerage you are asking about, ^redacted‌ does discuss the relationship based nature of buying an insurance brokerage in his interview. https://www.searchfunder.com/article/viewarticle/1374 Perhaps, it is analogous?

And sorry to clarify I’m not referring to “business brokers” as a lead source...I’m referring to targets who have a broker business
