Are you on the hunt for the ideal business to buy but feeling like you're searching for a needle in a haystack? We get it—the process can be overwhelming. That's where Transworld's Buyer Match Program comes in to make your life easier!
Imagine receiving an email the moment a new listing that fits your personal business preferences hits the market. Sounds pretty convenient, right? With our Buyer Match Program, you'll be the first to know about the latest opportunities. We add new listings daily, and we want to ensure you don't miss out on your dream business.
But let's be real—no one wants an inbox flooded with irrelevant listings. That's why we've created five specific business preferences to help you narrow down your results. Think of it as customizing your own business-shopping experience. Here are some tips to set up your preferences:
Geographic Preference
First things first—where do you want to own a business? Select the state and county that catch your eye. If you're open to multiple locations or even different states, feel free to choose as many as you'd like! Just remember, the more areas you select, the more listings you'll receive. Leave it blank, and you'll get updates from everywhere (yes, even that tiny town you can't pronounce).
Business Categories
What industries get you excited? Whether it's hospitality, tech, retail, or something niche like artisanal cheese making, select the industries and subcategories that interest you. The more specific you are, the more tailored your results will be. Leave it blank, and you might end up considering a yak farm in Nepal—not that there's anything wrong with yaks!
Maximum Price
Money matters, so set the maximum price you're willing to consider. Keep in mind that many of our listings offer financing options, so a higher-priced business might still be within reach with a lower down payment. Setting a max price helps filter out businesses that are outside your budget—because as much as owning a private island sounds appealing, we need to keep things realistic.
Maximum Down Payment
How much are you comfortable putting down upfront? Enter that amount here. Remember, offers can often be structured flexibly when you make a deal. Setting this number helps you find businesses that match your financial comfort zone.
Seller's Discretionary Earnings Minimum
This is a fancy way of saying "How much money do you want the business to make?" Input the minimum earnings you expect from your new venture. Setting this above zero will filter out businesses that are basically selling off their assets. If you're aiming high, say for earnings of at least $1 million, this will ensure you only see the heavy hitters. If you're open to smaller but potentially rewarding opportunities, keep this number lower.
