Don't restrict yourself to businesses. Instead list commercial real estate, which are occupied or vacant, and any occupants are sometimes the building owner and sometimes a renter, and the building and/or (some of the) occupant business(es) are for sale. There are buyers for every combination.

Hey, sema!
You're right, the two are often tied together. For now, we're laser-focused on the operating business, the brand, the customers, the cash flow, presence, etc.
We made a conscious decision that if we tried to solve both the business sale and the commercial real estate piece at the same time, we'd do an "okay" job at both.
Our goal for now is to be the absolute best in the world at our part of the puzzle first.
But never say never! We'll keep this in mind, thanks again for the feedback.

#37Great idea, you deserve an upvote. I also like the part where you show/display the revenue and profit. This way, buyers know at least the risk and reward for buying the business. It would be great if there's a way you can handle the processing for transferring business.

Thanks doppelgunner! We'd love to do that, but still a lot of moving parts to put in place before then. We'll get there :-)
