A lot of people turn to the internet first. Can you buy a business online? Yes. But there are at least four other options available.

How to find a business to buy – four options

  1. Consult with your attorney, accountant, realtor, or marketing firm. They often have inside knowledge about businesses that are prepping to sell and those that are on the market now.
  2. Use websites like BuySell or LoopNet as a resource.
