BusinessesForSale.com is an international platform that connects buyers and sellers of businesses, helping entrepreneurs to make their next move.
We provide sellers of businesses (both private sellers and brokers) with a powerful platform to reach an audience of more than 1 million monthly visitors. They can create a listing in less than ten minutes, and easily manage any enquiries they receive from our database of dedicated buyers.
Business buyers can browse more than 56,000 businesses across 27 countries. These can be filtered for asking price, location, industry, turnover and much more. A range of businesses are available, from brick-and-mortar high street businesses to flexible, online e-commerce operations.
We are also a platform with deep roots in the franchise community. Thousands of franchisors use BusinessesForSale.com to find their next investor, creating dynamic listing pages with detailed financial information, testimonials from existing franchisees, news, video and much more. They can list their franchise resales on the website, helping find new owners for existing franchise territories. We are a regular presence at franchise industry trade shows, helping connect entrepreneurs face to face as well as online.
BusinessesForSale.com is run by brothers Andrew and Marcus Markou since 1996. After starting out as a printed directory of fish and chip shops for sale in Birmingham, the business expanded rapidly during the internet boom of the early 2000s. It is now a global business with offices in the UK, US, Australia, India and Mexico, connecting entrepreneurs to international business, franchise and property investment opportunities.
BusinessesForSale.com provides powerful services to franchisors to help them recruit franchisees – both in new territories and in franchise resales. We specialize in providing high-intent, dedicated buyers who franchisors can filter by location and access to capital, helping them find the perfect investor.
The website also offers a powerful valuation tool which private sellers, brokers and accountants can use to accurately value their business, ensuring they set a realistic asking price. ValueRight is free to use and can provide a quick valuation in less than five minutes – or provide a detailed breakdown of a business’ value with further information.
As well as this, there is a dedicated Resources section with articles and guides that walk both experienced and first-time entrepreneurs through the process of buying or selling. We break down the complexities of finding a business, negotiation, due diligence and much more, helping them move past these common stumbling blocks with ease.
We provide a bespoke service for high-value businesses to list discreetly, M&A Vault, where a dedicated Account Manager will work closely with the business owner to find out exactly what kind of buyer they are looking for. We will then match these sellers with high-value buyers that match their specifications in our database, helping both parties move the deal forwards where necessary.
Sellers of business can work alongside us to create promotional newsletters than target our extensive database, choosing to target a certain region, industry or demographic for the best returns. They can also opt in to listing boosts that provide their business with extra visibility on the BusinessesForSale.com website.
