I was unsure of purchasing a subscription with tis company, so I used the trial. One had success with that and received splendid customer service from Shaun, I purchased! It has been really useful for me and my business sale. Always helps when the customer service is great! Would recommend
I've listed multiple businesses on this site.
They have a good pool of buyers who reach out, it's a quick and easy process to list the business and the support team are always quick if there are any queries.
Does what it says on the tin, decent well known website and easy to use. Vendor possible leads very useful to receive even if nothing comes from it, expands our brand and gives BFS another string to their bow. A little expensive compared to other sites.
Generally lead volume is good. Quality can vary but there are plenty of genuine buyers. Support is excellent, easy to get hold of account manager and very responsive. The only two areas for improvement are 1) the platform itself needs some updating to improve UI for sellers, which I understand is in the pipeline; and 2) the ability to filter out franchises and broker represented ads under advanced filters.
Hi Joshua,
Many thanks for the considerate five star review and honest feedback.
As rightly mentioned we are looking at how we can optimise our service in the first instance, and we will definitely take your latter point into consideration.
Let us know if we can be of any further assistance!
Regards,
The BFS Team.
To be honest, if it wasn't for BusinessesForSale, my small company wouldn't exist, over 80 quality leads in one month, with a success rate of over 80%.Some months I have to suspend my ads because I cannot keep up.
I will recommend their platform to any small entrepreneur that needs more sales. Oh and the support is always really awesome with your own personal account manager!

Set up an online profile for business for sale. Went through the process of waiting during the free trial, and I should have caught this, two leads pop up just prior, but you don't get access unless you pay. These inquiries were in the U.S., so I humored myself and paid the 1 month...punchline time...got the info release, and emailed the "prospects", NEVER GOT A REPLY. I must say, this seems to be a running theme on the website. Won't fall for it again, moving to a legitimate business broker. You're welcome for the free donation.
Hello Brian,
We are disappointed to read your review.
We are a family-run business that has helped thousands of business owners sell their businesses by using BusinessesForSale.com, which has been trading for 25 years.
We would still like to help you sell your business if we can and also change your mind about our service.
The Limited Trial is there to help sellers test the market and see if there is buyer demand for their type of business – if they feel the demand is there they can commit to pay for their advertising and unlock the contact details of interested buyers. We think this is a fair model; it has worked and is working incredibly well for thousands of sellers.
When you sign up, there is a notification message explaining that buyer details will be available after you upgrade your advert to a paid subscription. We have tried to make this as clear as possible.
We are keen to help you sell your business and find a buyer through our website. Could you please email us at support@businessesforsale.com with your listing ID and we will be able to assist you further.
Kind regards,
Shaun

Over the last 10 years Businesses For Sale has consistently provided the best source of potential buyers for commercial properties and businesses for my agency in Gran Canaria. As is to be expected, the range of clients includes a few timewasters, but fortunately very few scammers (and they were easily spotted!), but the nature of site tends to attract serious buyers. My only negative comment is that the website needs improving so that all photos can be selected and uploaded together - it is such a pain uploading them one by one!
For almost 19 years I have used BusinessesforSale.com to sell over 300 businesses to date. The quality of the leads provided is superb and has helped City Business Brokers to continue to be one of the leading independent Business brokers in the UK... Thanks to all the team

We have worked with Businessforsale for years and have always been very happy with the level of customer service and account management. The leads that are generated from our adverts with them are always from serious buyers and we regularly agree sales from them. I would highly recommend working with them and Matthew our account manager has always been brilliant, especially during the years over the pandemic.

I was impressed how fast I found the buyer - pretty much 4 months after posting the add my business is already sold. I also appreciate great advices from my account manager.
If you decide to sell the business you probably don't know where to start - this is very easy efficient way to do that!

Hello Nathan,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review and for sharing your experience of using our service.
I'm really pleased that we have helped you to advertise with us over a number of years and sell a number of different businesses in that time.
We wish you continued success with us!
Shaun, BFS Customer Service
Just listed my business. Immediately got responses with names that just seemed to weird and wouldn't invest in Ecuador. It just didn't feel right. I've paid for 3 months and have gotten 7 inquiries in less than 4 days but, I only 2 have responded. I'm letting all of them know that we can set up a skype call before sending information and nobody has replied (those are all the ones with weird names) the other 2 do seem legitimate.
So my thoughts is that you will get one or two real inquiries but the rest are people that work for the company that do it to make you believe that your money is going a long way.
Hi Marilyn, we just saw your review and are keen to help if we can. Would you be able to contact me directly at barnaby@dynamis.co.uk and let me know your listing ID and any particular queries you may have? We can then take steps to block any scammers that may have approached you if required. We are not in the business of generating any false enquiries to generate subscriptions: as a company trading over 20 years it is not in our interest to mislead our customers this way. I look forward to hearing from you. Regards, Barnaby (Head of Customer Services, BusinessesForSale.com)
