How can we help you?

You can browse hundreds of listings by using the search bar on our homepage or the Businesses page. Filter by category (restaurant, franchise, e-commerce, etc.), location (state, country), price range, and revenue. You can also save your searches and set up email alerts for new listings matching your criteria.

Yes. To protect both buyers and sellers from spam and fraud, you must register for a free buyer account to send inquiries, view seller contact information, and save favorite listings. Registration is quick and only requires a valid email address.

While we encourage sellers to provide accurate information and we actively monitor for suspicious activity, we do not independently verify every listing. Buyers are strongly advised to perform their own due diligence — including reviewing financial statements, legal documents, leases, and speaking with the seller — before purchasing any business. We recommend hiring a professional business broker, attorney, or accountant to assist.

Business-Sale.biz is a marketplace that connects buyers and sellers. We do not handle transactions or payments directly. Once you contact a seller through our platform, you will negotiate directly with them. We recommend using escrow services, signing a formal purchase agreement, and involving legal professionals to finalize the sale.

Many listings include basic financial information such as asking price, annual revenue, and cash flow. For detailed financials (tax returns, profit & loss statements, asset lists), sellers may require you to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) first. You can request this information by contacting the seller through the platform.

Click on the "List Business" button at the top of the page. Choose a listing plan (Basic is free, Premium and Featured are paid), fill out the listing form with details about your business — including location, category, asking price, revenue, and description — and upload photos. Once submitted, your listing will be reviewed and typically published within 24 hours.

We offer a Free Basic membership that includes one active listing. For additional visibility, we offer Premium Listings (starting at $29.99/month) and Featured Listings (starting at $79.99/month) that appear at the top of search results and on our homepage. Brokers and volume sellers can also purchase annual memberships. All paid fees are non-refundable.

Timelines vary significantly depending on the business type, price, location, and market conditions. On average, small to medium-sized businesses take 6 to 12 months to sell. To increase your chances, we recommend setting a realistic price, providing complete financial disclosures, and responding quickly to buyer inquiries.

Yes. Log in to your seller dashboard, find your listing, and click "Edit" to update information, change the price, or modify photos. You can also mark the listing as "Sold" or "Pending" at any time. If you wish to remove the listing entirely, you can delete it from the dashboard.

We provide a free business valuation estimator tool that gives you a ballpark range based on industry multiples and revenue. However, for an official valuation (required for serious buyers or financing), we recommend hiring a certified business appraiser or using a professional valuation service.

We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover) and PayPal. Annual subscriptions can also be paid via bank transfer for enterprise customers. All payments are processed securely through Stripe.

No hidden fees and no success commissions. Business-Sale.biz charges only for listing upgrades and premium memberships. We do not take a percentage of your final sale price. The Free Basic listing remains free forever.

Absolutely. From your seller dashboard, you can upgrade any active listing to a Premium or Featured plan. The upgrade fee will be prorated based on the remaining days of your current listing period. Upgraded listings get priority placement, email alerts to buyers, and a "verified" badge.

Due to the nature of digital services, listing fees are generally non-refundable. However, if your listing is rejected by our moderation team for violating our policies, you will receive a full refund. For technical errors or duplicate charges, please contact support within 14 days.

Click on "Sign in" and then "Forgot password?" below the login form. Enter the email address associated with your account, and we'll send you a password reset link. If you don't receive the email within 5 minutes, check your spam folder or contact support.

You can request account deletion by emailing privacy@business-sale.biz from your registered email address. Please note that active listings must be removed or marked as sold before account deletion. We will erase your personal data within 30 days, subject to legal retention requirements (e.g., for tax or fraud investigation purposes).

We take data protection seriously. All connections are encrypted with SSL, and we never sell your personal information to third parties. Your contact details are only shared with other users when you initiate an inquiry about a listing. For more details, please review our Privacy Policy.

If you suspect a scam, phishing attempt, or fraudulent behavior, please report the user immediately by forwarding the message to abuse@business-sale.biz or using the "Report" button on the message thread. Never share personal financial information, send money to strangers, or click on suspicious links. Legitimate buyers will never ask you to pay upfront fees to "release funds."

We do not directly provide escrow services, but we strongly recommend using a reputable third-party escrow company for all business transactions. Escrow protects both the buyer and seller by holding funds until all conditions of the sale are met. Never wire money directly to a seller without verified protections.

If you believe a listing contains false or misleading information, please report it using the "Report Listing" button. We will investigate and may remove the listing or suspend the seller's account. However, Business-Sale.biz is not a party to your transaction and cannot mediate disputes. Buyers should always conduct due diligence and include representations and warranties in their purchase agreement.

Franchise resales and new franchise opportunities are listed in the Franchises section. The listing process is the same, but we require franchise sellers to disclose the franchisor name, initial investment range, and royalty fees. Buyers should always review the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) before purchasing.

Yes! Business-Sale.biz accepts listings and buyers from over 42 countries. You can filter by country and region. Please note that cross-border transactions may have additional legal and tax implications; we recommend consulting local professionals.
