56 Websites to Find a Small Business to Buy
All the websites I've used to source deals
The number 1 question I get asked from many of you…
‘where do you even look to buy a small business’…
Well, here’s my answer.
To be clear, I’m not a pro at small business acquisition.
I hope to be some day.
Regardless, my approach was simple.
Cast a wide net to look at everything until I narrow in on something I like.
If you’re looking to buy a small business, steal this process:
Create an email specifically for sourcing deals.
Use Google chrome to save your form fill information using this new email
Sign up for all 52 of these
If you can build filters / notifications for what you are looking for (<$1m but >$250k EBITDA)
Only use this email to see daily deals curated to your email
You’ll get to see a lot of interesting deals quickly.
For me, I had no idea what I was looking for at first so it was important to see anything and everything.
I hope this helps in kickstarting your journey to buying a small business.
If you find this helpful, share it with a friend and let me know. Appreciate you following along!

Had no idea there were this many sites. I've been passively looking for 4 months and have had no success identifying one to buy.
