“Awesome Platform”

Andre D.
6/27/23

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! Andre The Global Merchant Pty Ltd

“Same experience as most of the reviews”

Carlo K.
8/4/20

I signed up a day ago and today I've got 2"Inquiries" but they want bussinessforsale me to pay first to be able to get in contact with the potential buyers. Same pattern than most of the reviews are describing. Pretty stupid to do the same all the time, I got suspicious when I immediately got 2 responses after one day so I started investigating about this company and looks like I was right with my feeling:-)

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.

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!

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.

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)

I put my business for sale on businessesforsale.com in May 2020, in the middle of COVID madness and on-top of it, its a hospitality business. Within days of placing the advert, I had inquires. As time progressed, the inquires kept coming in, I have actually removed the advert for now to give myself time to focus on the current inquires. Due to COVID, lack of flights, travel restrictions the potential buyers were unable to visit the property so I am giving them time to visit the property.
I did advertise on other websites, but this was by far the best.
They are also super friendly.

First of, let me tell you that I'm not so impressed with Site Jabber, and for a reason: I can't tell from the most reviews if they were written by people who actually bought any package from BusinessesForSale or not. Most other popular sites - like Trust Pilot, Amazon and others - have an option such as a "Verified buyer" or similar, that makes it almost impossible to place fake reviews as someone who hasn't experienced the services or products herself. This is why I attach a proof of purchase to this review of mine. Now you know that I know what I'm talking about, first-hand.

I personally have been dealing with BusinessesForSale (businessesforsale.com) for over four years (on behalf of our company, of course). In the meantime, I personally dealt with three different persons, with the last one (and the one I'm still dealing with) - for three years. (Her name starts with I*.) I've also been dealing - over the years - with 11 other sites like this one, selling businesses. I can tell you from my own experience, without reservations: BusinessesForSale is not only the best (of those I dealt with, of course) - they are lighting years ahead of the two other quite popular sites I had a lot of experience with. Sure, it's a lot about their marketing practices and the way everything works that their success can be attributed to. But, for me, every (!) time I had to discuss (please note: I'm talking about real discussions, not canned customer service answers) our needs and asked for input, their advice was terrific. Every time. Now, I'd also like to highlight all my recent (and not so recent) experience with the person I'm still in touch with: every time dealing with her is a pleasure and delight. Like with doctor, I explain our issues and goals - and get the right advice every time. Let me tell you: this worked. This works. At least, for us.

While I'm usually not so keen about commenting on other comments, I think that, this time, I must provide some input. I read that some reviewers were not quite happy with the fact that, after a trial period, the site wants to get paid to release details of those who contacted the prospective seller. I'm not quite sure, why is it being considered a "scam" or even "the worst scam ever". Consider other sites: you pay and then get nothing in return. Good luck trying to recuperate your investment! Here, however, you risk nothing: you pay only f you see that your ad generates incoming inquiries. Also, I've personally experienced not so seldom when prospective buyers badmouthed us just because we didn't want to bind for any unreasonable demand. Things like that happen and our world isn't perfect...

All in one, I'd say: if you want to spend some real money for real results - this is the site for you. No doubts. You'll thank yourself later for having done it (and receive, probably, a super-hug from the shareholders once the business gets sold).

As a franchise consultant with The Franchise Company, we have found BusinessForSale to be an excellent channel to generate franchisee enquiries for our clients. The website is effective and well marketed, and the staff are great. If you're a UK franchise, then BusinessForSale has to be one of the portals you use to promote your franchise opportunity. Thanks for all the support guys. The Franchise Company will continue recommending you to our all clients.

Its a shame that the scammers can not be controlled from the enquiries I get in selling my property but this
Is a normal occurrence with all websites as the genuine buyers can not be vetted.

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!
