Common questions
Is it really free?
Yes. Listing your business and talking to buyers costs nothing. The site is paid for by advertising.
Why sell without a broker?
Brokers often charge 8–12% of the sale price. On a $500,000 business, that can be $40,000 or more. Here, you keep it.
Will my staff or customers find out?
Only if you want them to. You can leave out your business name and exact town.
