I had a lot of very good responses. I sold my business within three weeks of posting. I will definitely use your service again and highly recommend this to anyone looking to sell their business. Keep up the good work and you will have my loyal business.

 

Nina Nguyen, Tanning Salon in Upscale Naples Location, Naples, Florida, USA

 
 
 

I advertised a bakery and coffee shop last year and received good leads. The best thing about BusinessesForSale.com is the site is really easy to use.

 

Chuck Stanko, Beach Real Estate Busy Coffee Bake Shop, Milford, Delaware, USA

 
 
 

I have received some good leads even though things are slow at the moment. The advert on BusinessesForSale.com does seem to bring in people who are truly interested in buying a business. Therefore, I am pleased with the service.

 

Colleen Brossard, Home With Two Half Acres And Licensed Kennel, Bradenton, Florida, USA

 
 
 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your fantastic networking. I have had 13 definite buyers and have successfully sold my business within 6 weeks. You can take my advert off the website.

 

Mariette Kennedy, Successful and Growing Potential Lighting Manufacturing Business, Alberton, Gauteng, SA

 
 
 

I want to THANK YOU for your web site and your help! We sold our family business and received a number of hits and actual qualified buyers. The web site gave me the ability to personalize our site with a bunch of information. Thanks again, we sold after 6 months!

 

Vince and Elaine Barone, Carvel Ice Cream Business, Keller, Texas, USA

 
 
 

Put the business on in November, had a good response in December and completed the sale beginning of April. Possibly the best £100 I've ever spent!

 

Ian Cameron, Drainage Maintenance Company, Devon

 
 
 

Excellent service provided and extremely delighted that I have sold my business as a direct result of putting my advert on your site. Am highly recommending you to others who are also thinking of selling their B&Bs. Of all the money we have spent with Daltons, B&B News and other local agents you have come up trumps. Heartfelt thanks for saving us well in excess of £10,000.

 

Margaret Henderson Newton, Sold a Bed & Breakfast with Luxury Holiday Apartment in Lincolnshire

 
 
 

Please note, The Dairy Guesthouse is now sold and contracts exchanged. I would like to advise you that the purchaser found our details through your website so I would strongly recommend you to others selling a business.

 

Ian Knibbs, The Dairy Guesthouse

 
 
 

As far as we’re concerned, BusinessesForSale.com is number one – the service is first class and I would never hesitate in recommending you or using your services again. We received a great response from our ad and found a buyer within 6 weeks.

 

Graham Moss, Always Porcelain

 
 
 

Hallo - thanks for your e-mail. I am pleased to tell you that we managed to sell the business 10 days ago to a buyer resulting from our ad with you. Considering it had been on the market for some time with an estate agent, with little interest, I was very impressed with the results. Thanks for your help.

 

Helen Sanderson

 
 
 

We managed to sell our business quickly and reach over 50 potential buyers in just a few months. Your service is worth every penny and then some. Thank you very much indeed.

 

Neil Fedorowycz

 
 
 

Your website has produced more than 20 potential buyers, the company sold within 2 weeks. Thanks.

 

Mark Furber, Online Watch Business, Northampton

We are delighted that your site procured a buyer for us in only 6 weeks.

 

Tom Kirk, Yallands Farmhouse, Somerset

 
 
 

I’m pleased to say that I had a lot of interest and sold my fireplace business very quickly through the advert on your site. Great service, thanks again.

 

Mike Stephens

 
 
 

Because of my advert with you I have sold my business quickly and can now look forward to some hard earned retirement. I will definitely recommend your site in future to anyone wanting to sell.

 

Guy Roger Trembath, Pet Supplies to Retail Outlets Business, Devon and Cornwall

 
 
 

Very impressed with the service and level of response. Would definitely use you again if circumstances require. Thanks.

 

Peter Saunders, Excellent Llandudno Hotel, North Wales

 
 
 

I am thrilled with the response that I received after advertising my business on your website. My daughter introduced me to your website. Unfortunately not one of the interested members went through with the transaction. I sold the business to another buyer from Cape Town. I won't buy a business again but will promote your website to friends in my community.

 

Engela Kruger, Liquor Store, Western Cape, SA

 
 
 

I found this site is very helpful. We were desperate. Within month and a half, the business is sold. Thanks to BusinessForSale.com.

 

Mohammed Bhuyain, Chicken Kebab & Fish & Chip Shop, London, UK

 
 
 

BusinessesForSale.com is a great site. I just sold my business. It is the N#1 site for selling businesses. I will promote and use the site in future. Great work, very professional and user friendly. Thank you.

 

Gino Felicetti, Palmero Based English Conversational School, Go-Karting Track in Sicily and a Great Supermarket Opportunity In Corleone Sicily, Italy

 
 
 

I don’t need to renew my advert because I have sold the business. I had a fantastic response with a lot of positively interested parties. Excellent value for money.

 

Phil Goodhew, Quality Garden Product E-Commerce Website Business, Suffolk, UK

 
 
 

I had many, many emails asking about our business. From around the world, we had enquiries from as close as 20 minutes drive away to Hong Kong - a 24 hour flight away. You can't ask for a more varied response. Thanks again.

 

Tom and Diane Birrell, Storage Units, Ontario, Canada

 
 
 

I have today completed on the sale of my business. We started advertising on your website in 7 months ago. That was after 2 years of being signed with an agent with whom we had lots of time-wasters, several offers which fell through, and one buyer with whom we exchanged contracts only for them to pull out 12 weeks later - we got to keep their deposit but only after the agent had deducted his huge fee. So - we found your website a much better way to sell our business!

 

Louise Harrison, Delicatessen & Coffee Bar For Sale, UK

 
 
 

Found BusinessesForSale.com from a friend who recommended you. I looked up it up on the internet and then placed an advert. This website is better than using local agents to sell the business; I had more enquiries through BusinessesForSale.com by far.

 

Simon Twitchen, Surf, Ski & Wakeboard School, North Devon, UK

 
 
 

Excellent. No Realtor fees and now I have sold two businesses in just two years. The quality of the interest parties was excellent.

 

Carol Ledden, Etobicoke Two Playgrounds For The Price Of One, Canada

 
 
 

Sceptical at first, only to realise that I had more interest from this advert (and sold the business) on this address than from any other means; No of hits on BusinessesForSale.com - 5, from other sources - 0! I will recommend this service to everyone I know and that wants to sell a business. Thank You.

 

Carlos Neves, Family Run Portuguese Restaurant, South Africa

 
 
 

This is a great website - we got a lot of interest and sold our company through it. We will recommend it on.

 

Tracey Traynor, Hamper Company With Stock & Website, Dublin, Ireland

 
 
 

It has been a while now since we put our business for sale on your web site. Although we did not succeed in selling Villa Karmar we found the system you use, with the backup of your staff excellent. When we have sold, we will certainly look on your web pages for a similar property in Perth Australia.

 

Kevin French, Lifestyle Opportunity Plus Bed And Breakfast, Costacabana, Almeria, Spain

 
 
 

Thank you for the opportunity to advertise our business on your website. We are pleased to advise we have sold it - and it was from this website. So thanks again - from some happy customers.

 

Geoff Lovelock, Established Sunshine Coast Bookeeping Business, Noosa Heads, Queensland, Australia

 
 
 

Our business has been on your web site for some time and we wholeheartedly appreciate the support you have given us over this period. However, because we do not feel it is the right economic climate to sell, we have just entered an agreement to lease the bar & restaurant side of the business to local friends of ours which we hope is going to be a win-win situation. We would like to take this opportunity of thanking you for all your help. We would also like to say that if we know of other people selling a business, we would not hesitate to recommend you.

 

Angela & Stephen Williams, Bed & Breakfast Bar & Restaurant, Portugal

 
 
 

Thankfully we have now sold the restaurant. Thank you for your assistance and I will recommend this site to anyone in need of advertising.

 

George Kleanthous, Modern Bar and Café, Paphos, Cyrprus

 
 
 

I think you guys are great! I've got more feedback, response and help from you within a couple of months than Google has given me over the past two years. You show that the human touch still matters -- and it does count in the end.

 

Edward Wedler, Profitable & Successful Book Store, Nova Scotia, Canada

 
 
 

I appreciated the service provided during the sale process.

 

Roz Fuller, Established & Successful Bookkeeping Franchise Business, NSW, Australia

 
 
 

Thank you so much! I am really impressed with BusinessesForSale.com and I am going to be listing many of my web businesses with you in the very near future! The traffic that goes to your site is amazing! The search engines really love you too which is why your website gets the volume that it does and the great customer service is also the reason.

Angelique, Successful Prime High Street Location Fast Food Franchise, South Africa

Julie Jones, Upmarket and Trendy Hairdressing Salon, Gauteng, South Africa

Thank you for advertsing these premises. Had many responses through your site but unfortunetely, they all came to nothing. Had to walk away from the business.

 

Carolyn Sampson, British Bar In Lagana For Sale, Zakinthos, Greece

 
 
 

Wish I had found this site much earlier. We have had the bar in 2 agencies here in Greece for some time with no response. Since being on this site, I had 13 responses, and one person came to see the bar. Unfortunately time has run out for us!

We are recommending this company for all their help, even though our business was bought by someone out of the blue.

Mark Gee, Childrens Soft Play Centre Cafe & Car Park, Hertfordshire, UK

 
 
 

This service is far better than any other I have found on the Internet. My business was in Thailand and I had many times more enquiries from your site than from a local agent that wanted a commission for the listing. The design of your service is excellent and I would recommend that before somebody try any other company that they give your premium service a chance.

 

Rick Henderson, Thailands Number One Dining And Restaurant Website, Bangkok, Thailand

 
 
 

As a result of advertising with you - a quick sale. We consider you are a very professional company. Thanks.

FAQ's

What are the costs of advertising?

At BusinessesForSale.com we’re committed to selling businesses and we believe in demonstrating value before we ask you to pay anything.

That’s why it’s FREE to list your business for sale. Yes, free to list. That means you can see if it works for you before you pay us anything. (Shouldn’t all advertising be like this? We’d like to think so…)

By listing your business for free, you will generate leads from business buyers. In order to view the contact details of these buyers interested in your business for sale we will charge you a simple flat fee – with no hidden extras, no commission and no exit fees.

You just have to choose from one of the following packages:

  • Monthly Deal - $59.00 per month
  • Quarterly Deal - $139.00 for three months
  • Annual Deal - $199.00 for six months - with a further six months FREE if you don’t sell your business. That’s just $16.58 per month!

Remember, it’s free to list your business. Only pay to contact interested buyers.

No commission means no commission!

Let's just repeat that again. BusinessesForSale.com is not a broker and we do not charge a commission for helping you sell your business. BusinessesForSale.com is an advertising service. We consider ourselves to be a marketplace that allows anyone selling a business – whether privately or by a professional broker or agent – to list their details on the site.

Remaining anonymous

BusinessesForSale.com recognizes that selling a business is a sensitive process and we respect the privacy of sellers. As a seller, you do not have to reveal specific details such as the name of the business or its exact location. Your contact details are not shown and all messages from buyers are delivered to you via the site.

This means that you can trial BusinessesForSale.com and ‘dip your toes in the water’ for FREE whilst preserving your anonymity.

How do business buyers make contact with me?

Buyers must first register with the site before they can contact you. This simple process of registration filters out time wasters. Once registered, buyers will click the ‘Contact Seller’ button on your listing and request more information from you, such as financial details or the opportunity to view the business.

Monitoring or improving my listing

At any time during your listing period you can sign in and monitor all responses made on your listing. Once you’ve signed in to your account you can also update your details, amend or upgrade your listing.

How do I know my buyer leads are genuine?

We don’t like spam any more than you do. That’s why our customer services team check every single buyer lead your listing generates, before it reaches your account. This means you'll only get genuine business buyers.

If you have any comments or queries about spam emails, please contact customer services.
