The following tips will help you get the most out of using the BizBuySell search engine to find a business to buy.
Selecting States
You can search a single state, multiple states, a single region, multiple regions, all states, and/or foreign countries.
Selecting Counties
You can search a single county, or multiple counties.
Business Categories
The business categories identify the various types of businesses for sale. You may select as many categories as you wish.
Optional Search Criteria
Relocatable
By default, relocatable and home-based businesses are included in the search results. Relocatable businesses are not dependent upon their location for their operation (e.g. a mail order company). To eliminate relocatable or home-based businesses from your results, click the appropriate button.
Dates
To limit your search results to businesses listed within the last 3, 7 or 30 days, click the appropriate option.
City Name or Keywords
Use this field to narrow your search.
For example, if you want to narrow your search just to a specific city, (eg. Atlanta), enter the city name in the keyword field. Note: Some businesses do not specify a city to maintain confidentiality.
To find a specific type of business, choose words that describe the business you're seeking. For example, to search for a bed and breakfast you could enter the words "hotel motel inn". This will return all businesses with "hotel", "motel" or "inn" in their descriptions.
