Definition
A middleman is someone who acts as an intermediary between producers and consumers, or between any two parties in a transaction. Think of them as the connector in a game of telephone, relaying information and facilitating deals. 📞 They don't produce anything themselves, but they help to distribute goods or services. They might be retailers, wholesalers, brokers, or agents. Their role is to streamline the process, making it easier for buyers and sellers to connect. Sometimes they take a cut, sometimes they provide added value.
