Finders

• Term

  Main definition

• Finders

  The persons or firms who, by merely identifying and introducing one or more potential investors to a fund-seeking company, sometimes help to arrange an investment transaction for some compensation. However, the term finder is to be distinguished from the term unlicensed broker, which is any person doing any actual selling, promoting, negotiating, messaging or intervening at all. If one or more of these are done by a person who considered themselves a finder for compensation, the person is required to have a securities broker or dealer license in many circumstances.
