FAQ

What is the data source? WebsiteClosers.com, a business brokerage marketplace. This actor is an independent, third-party scraper and is not affiliated with or endorsed by WebsiteClosers.

Are asking price and cash flow always available? Most live listings disclose an asking price; cash flow, gross income, year established, and employee count are shown when the broker has disclosed them. Fields the source doesn't disclose are simply omitted from the record, never filled with a placeholder.

Why don't listings show a location or state? WebsiteClosers does not publish a location field on individual listing pages (consistent with buyer-confidentiality practices in business brokerage) — no site-side location filter exists to expose.

Does the site's own sort/price-filter dropdown work? No — the sort and price-range widgets on the live browse page are not wired to a working server-side or AJAX endpoint (verified against fresh, uncached responses). This actor instead applies minAskingPrice/maxAskingPrice/minCashFlow/maxCashFlow/minGrossIncome/minYearEstablished filters after fetching each listing's real financials, which is more reliable.

What's in closedDeals mode? A historical archive of deals that have already sold/closed. Most closed-deal detail pages remain live and still disclose the original asking price, cash flow, gross income, and employee count.

How many listings are there? Roughly 259 live listings across 67 categories at any given time, plus a much larger historical closed-deals archive.

How fresh is the data? Each run fetches the live site directly — there is no caching layer, so results reflect the current state of the marketplace.
