SELL YOUR BUSINESS
WITHOUT A BROKER
Most brokers list the business on a marketplace and wait for buyers to come to them. Then charge a large commission at closing.
Your business is listed on the website and includes the right to post inside our 284,600+-member Business for Sale By Owner Facebook group.
Over 80% of the members are looking to buy a business.
The combination of website and Facebook group can help your listing appear multiple times in local business-for-sale search results.
“As someone who has been through multiple transactions and understands what drives real buyer engagement, I was impressed by the quality and volume of inbound interest generated from this platform. After listing AnimalScan, we quickly connected with several credible buyers.”
“$6.5M listing got 8 buyer inquiries in less than 4 months.”
The old way is expensive.
A broker may charge 10% at closing. On a $500,000 sale, that is $50,000 gone. On a $1,000,000 sale, that is $100,000 out of your pocket.
For many owners, the broker still starts by putting the business on a large listing marketplace and waiting for buyers.
If buyers do not see your listing, it does not matter where it is posted.
BusinessForSaleByOwner.us gives owners another path: a search-indexed listing plus the right to post inside a large buyer-heavy Facebook group.
Search "Mexican restaurant for sale Wilmington" on Google. Here is what comes up.
That listing is a real customer. He listed on BizBuySell for over a year and received 6 leads in 12 months.
He listed with us 2 months ago and already received 3 leads.
The website and Facebook group now give his listing more places to be found by buyers searching for that business.
That is the difference: more buyer exposure without handing control to a broker.

Here's what other business owners asked before signing up.
I don't want my employees or competitors knowing my business is for sale.
Your listing shows only what you choose to make public. Financials, your identity, and sensitive details stay hidden behind an NDA. You approve buyers before they see anything confidential.
I don't know how to sell a business.
You get an NDA, LOI, due diligence checklist, buyer qualification guide, and negotiation templates included. You built a business. You can learn how to sell one. And when you have a buyer at the table, you can always hire help.
Will buyers actually see my listing?
I cannot guarantee how many buyers will respond. What I can tell you: your listing can be found through the website, local searches, and your monthly Facebook group posting right inside a 284,600+-member group where over 80% are looking to buy a business.
What if my business does not sell?
You pay a flat fee for exposure, not a commission. If it does not sell, you lost a few hundred dollars, not $50,000. You can cancel anytime. If you are not getting traction, reach out. I will take a look at your listing personally.
Your buyer is looking right now.
Are you where they can find you?
