For Sellers
How do I list my business for sale?
To list your business, simply create an account and complete our seller questionnaire. This will guide you through the information needed to create an effective listing. You can then review your listing before publishing it on our marketplace.
How much does it cost to list my business?
We offer several subscription plans to meet different needs. Our basic plan allows you to create a simple listing for free, while premium plans offer enhanced visibility, multiple listings, and additional tools. Visit our Subscriptions page for details on current pricing.
How is my business information protected?
We take confidentiality seriously. Your sensitive business information is only shared with verified buyers who express specific interest in your listing. You control how much detail to include in your public listing, and our messaging system allows you to qualify buyers before revealing additional information.
For Buyers
Do I need an account to browse listings?
No, you can browse business and franchise listings without creating an account. However, to contact sellers or save favorite listings, you'll need to create a free account.
How do I contact a business seller?
Once you've found a business that interests you, simply click on the "Contact Seller" button on the listing page. You'll need to be logged in to send a message. Our secure messaging system protects both parties' privacy until you're ready to communicate directly.
What should I look for when evaluating a business?
Key factors to consider include financial performance (revenue, profit, growth trends), assets included in the sale, reasons for selling, customer concentration, market trends, and potential growth opportunities. We recommend conducting thorough due diligence before making any purchase decisions.
Business Valuation
How does the business valuation tool work?
Our business valuation tool uses industry-standard methods to provide an estimated value range for your business. By entering information about your revenue, profits, assets, industry, and other factors, you'll receive a comprehensive report that explains how we arrived at the valuation range.
How accurate is the business valuation?
Our valuation tool provides a reasonable estimate based on the information provided and industry benchmarks. However, many factors can affect a business's actual market value, including intangible assets, market conditions, and buyer demand. We recommend using the valuation as a starting point and considering professional advice for important decisions.
