What kind of businesses can be sold on Biz Sell USA?
You’ll find most listings in our marketplace are established businesses that are currently open and operating. You can also advertise business startups; business structures (Corporations, LLCs, or Sole Proprietorships); business assets (equipment, licenses, etc.) of non-operating or closed businesses, or business real estate for sale or lease.
What are the differences between the FREE listing and the two prepaid upgrades, and how much does a listing cost?
FREE Listing – You can add as many FREE Business Listings as you like! Currently they will not expire until you delete them!
“Premium” Listing – Upgrading to a Premium Listing places your business listing before all FREE Listings as they appear on any search results pages.
For a 3-month term, Premium listings are $89.95/month ($269.85 one-time charge)
For a 6-month term, Premium listings are $65.95/month ($395.70 one-time charge)
“Hot Business” Listing - Upgrading to a Hot Business Listing places your business listing before all PREMIUM and FREE Listings as they appear on any search results pages.
For a 3-month term, Hot Business listings are $159.95/month ($479.85 one-time charge)
For a 6-month term, Hot Business listings are $129.95/month ($779.70 one-time charge)
Can I buy a “Premium” or “Hot” listing for one month only?
No, our prepaid listing terms are for 3 or 6-months. These durations ensure you have the time needed to appropriately market your business as finding the right buyer typically takes several months. However, when that business is no longer available, you can EDIT your listing with information for another business you have for sale.
Once your paid listing term expires, your business listing converts to a FREE listing.
When does my listing term start?
Once you submit your information – whether it be a FREE Listing, Premium or Hot Business – it is published immediately and can be edited in real-time. Our editorial staff will be reviewing your listing within 72 hours after your submission to confirm it meets with our guidelines.
Why must I provide a phone number to create an account?
Your phone number will serve as the contact number for the listing and account. It can be changed after account creation as needed.
How do I create my listing?
To start, we ask for account setup information, followed by general details about your business. You then select and purchase your desired plan…FREE, Premium, or Hot Business.
How can I protect my business's identity?
When crafting your business listing for sale, you have the flexibility to disclose varying levels of information about your business. If desired, you can opt for a "blind listing" to ensure the anonymity of your business. This involves withholding specific location details and instead providing a broader scope such as the county or state. Additionally, using generic images and providing generalized business information helps maintain confidentiality. The purpose of a blind listing is to offer potential buyers enough information to understand the business type, a rough idea of its location, and high-level financial details.
How should I title my business for sale listing?
Be descriptive and succinct. Write the type of business and add a little bit of color. Remember, many people will find your listing in an internet search, so keep it relatively short. For example, "Profitable Chinese Restaurant", or "Specialized Auto Parts Manufacturer”.
What happens at the end of my 3 or 6-month paid listing term?
Once your paid listing term expires, your business listing converts to a FREE listing. It is not uncommon for some businesses to take a year or longer to find the right buyer.
Do I pay a commission when I sell my business?
No, Biz Sell USA is a marketing platform that enables you to list your business for sale FOR FREE and we only charge for advertising fees. We are not a brokerage firm. If you prefer to work with a broker, you will find many in our Broker Directory.
Can I pay for advertising by check?
No. We only accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express for payment.
Do you sell my email address?
Absolutely not! Your email address will never be intentionally revealed to anyone.
How soon does my listing go live on your website?
Right away! Listings now go live as soon as you publish them. We do still review all listings just in case there was a mistake or something inappropriate.
