Common questions
Straight answers
Is it really free?
Yes. Listing your business and talking to buyers is free for sellers, and there's no commission. Any paid extra we offer is optional, clearly priced, and never needed to list or sell.
Why sell without a broker?
Brokers often charge 8 to 12% of the sale price. On a $500,000 business, that can be $40,000 or more. We don't charge commission.
Will my staff or customers find out?
Only if you want them to. You can leave out your business name and exact town.
Do I need to be good with computers?
No. The form is short and plain. If you get stuck, email us and we'll walk you through it, step by step, at your own pace.
