FINDER
finder. 1. An intermediary who brings together parties for a business opportunity, such as two
companies for a merger, a borrower and a financial institution, an issuer and an underwriter of
securities, or a seller and a buyer of real estate. • A finder differs from a broker-dealer because the
finder merely brings two parties together to make their own contract, while a broker-dealer usu.
participates in the negotiations. See INTERMEDIARY. 2. A person who discovers an object, often
a lost or mislaid chattel.[Blacks Law 8th]
