Where Can I Find Small Business for Sale?

Answer:
Ready to invest your time and money to buy a small business
– but not sure where to start? A few avenues available for you to search include:

Friends and Family
Ask your friends and family member if they know of any small businesses for sale. This is a great way to network and let people know you’re looking to purchase a business.


Internet
Surf the Internet and you’re sure to find thousands of small business for sale. For online as well as brick and mortar businesses I like MergerNetwork.com . Registration is required in order to view details of a listing but it is free.  For online property, I like SitePoint.com .  There is quite a bit of riff-raff but if you view the Premium Websites category you'll find some gems.  Check out business forums and business newsletters as well.

Classified Ads
Many business magazines and most newspapers have a section for classified advertising. You may find the information you’re looking for under headings such as “Businesses for Sale” or “Business Opportunities."
 
Franchises
Buying a franchise may cost a little more than purchasing another type of existing business. But, you’ll probably be selling goods or services that have instant name recognition – a great marketing benefit.
