In pre-Internet days, buying or selling a business often involved paying an exorbitant commission to a business broker. Today, that’s no longer the case. On-line firms like BusinessMart.com offer business owners the ability to post their own businesses for sale by owner on the net, quickly and for a reasonable sum.

But listing the business for sale is just the first step in the process of a change in ownership. The sale of a business usually is not a sale of just one asset. Instead, all the assets of the business are liquidated or sold to a new owner. When this occurs, each asset is treated as being sold separately for determining the treatment of gain or loss for tax purposes. Most often an accountant is involved in the process. Almost always the event triggers taxable events as defined by the U.S. Internal Revenue Serivce.

More and more business owners are realizing that they can sell their businesses online, reaching 1000s of potential buyers. For sale listings and franchise opportunities are maintained by BusinessMart.com with 100% confidentiality. Business Mart does not require the owner to enter into a listing contract that requires a commission to be paid once the sale consummates. Rather, owners can list their business for as low as $69.95 for 3 months.

Typically businesses take 6-8 months to sell. It has been the experience of the Business Mart support staff that listings are most effective with a 12 month listing for $169.95. Furthermore, their statistics show that maximum exposure is best gained with their Premier 12 Month Listing for $189.95.

BusinessMart.com also has many different types of small businesses listings for sale as well as many larger companies and even franchises for sale. A viewer can search the “for sale” listings by location or by category of business. An advanced search technique allows users to search in a combination of fashions; e.g., florists in Miami, FL, listed within the past seven days with an asking price between $250,000 and $500,000.

With this kind of convenience it’s no wonder that Business Mart has become a powerhouse for buying and selling businesses and franchises,
