Are you looking to buy a business and having a hard time finding enough good businesses for sale? There could be a reason for that, and here are my thoughts... I’ve been researching the gap between the number of people looking to buy businesses, the number of businesses for sale, and how many are actually selling. Here's what the numbers look like: >There are approximately 33.2 million small businesses in the US >BizBuySell is the largest online marketplace for businesses for sale. >They have 3.5 million visits per month. >And approximately 65,000 business listings annually. >Only about 20% of businesses listed for sale actually sell >In 2024, there were 9,546 closed business sale transactions tracked by >BizBuySell >In the nextredactedyears, it's expected that 12 million businesses will go up for sale due to baby boomer retirement To me, these numbers tell a story. In my view, that gap stems from the overwhelm many business owners feel around valuing their business and preparing it for sale. So...
