BizQuest Scraper: Businesses for Sale with Financials

Export US businesses for sale from BizQuest by keyword, state, city and industry: asking price, location, listing type and the seller or broker. Turn on listing details for the contact name and phone, industry, cash flow, gross revenue, year established, employees, reason for selling, financing and the full seller write-up. Filter by price, cash flow, revenue and listing age the same way as on the site, or paste BizQuest search links. Download as Excel, CSV or JSON, or call the Actor through the API.

What you get

• Listing: title, asking price, location and state, listing type (established business, asset sale, startup, real estate for sale or lease), short summary, price reduced and recently added flags, photos, link to the BizQuest page. Industry, contact name and phone come with the search row for part of the listings (often on searches without a keyword) and for every listing with details on.
• With "Add cash flow, revenue and seller write-up" on, each listing adds: industry, contact name and phone, broker company and profile link, cash flow (when the seller shows it), gross revenue, EBITDA, inventory and FF&E with whether they are included in the price, year established, full-time and part-time employees, building size, the full description, reason for selling, facilities, competition, growth, support and training, financing options, county, and the street address and ZIP code when the seller shows them.

Fields stay empty when the seller does not disclose them; many sellers hide cash flow or the address until a buyer signs an NDA.

How to use it

1. Type keywords (laundromat, HVAC, car wash) and locations (Texas, CA, Austin, TX). Every keyword runs in every location; leave locations empty for the whole US.
2. Optional filters: industry, listing types, asking price, cash flow and gross revenue ranges, listed within N days, established after a year.
3. Or paste search or industry links from bizquest.com with your filters already set. Links run first and keep their own filters; clear keywords and locations if you want only the links.
4. Run and download the dataset.

BizQuest businesses for sale by state and city

Put one or more states or cities in locations: Florida, California, Colorado, NJ or Miami, FL. With an empty keyword the Actor lists every business for sale there; with a keyword such as laundromat it returns only laundromats for sale in those places, each with the asking price and, with details on, the cash flow and revenue.

BizQuest export to Excel and CSV

Every run saves a table you can download as Excel, CSV, JSON or HTML from the Storage tab, or fetch through the Apify API. One row is one BizQuest listing, in the same order as on the site.

Pricing

Pay per result, no monthly fee and no start fee of our own:

What	Price
Listing row (price, location, type, summary, link)	$0.0005
Contact, industry, cash flow, revenue and seller write-up from the listing page	$0.0005 per listing

1,000 listings cost $0.50, or $1.00 with listing details. You pay only for rows in your dataset; a listing already returned in the same run is not charged twice, and an empty listing page is not charged. Set "Maximum cost per run" in the run options to cap the spend.

BizQuest API for developers

Start the Actor through the Apify API or the Python and JavaScript clients and read the dataset when it finishes. Listing details are off when includeDetails is missing from the input. Input example:

{
  "keywords": ["laundromat"],
  "locations": ["Texas", "Florida"],
  "priceMax": 1000000,
  "cashFlowMin": 100000,
  "includeDetails": true,
  "maxItems": 500
}

Inputs written for other BizQuest actors on Apify also work: filterKeyword, filterLocation, filterPriceMin, filterPriceMax, filterCashFlowMin, filterCashFlowMax, filterListingAgeDays, includeListingDetails, keyword, location, state, industry, listingType, listedWithinDays, dateListingAdded, enrichDetails, searchUrl, searchUrls, startUrl and results_wanted are read as the matching fields.

Good to know

• New York, NY on BizQuest is the whole state; for the city use a borough such as Brooklyn, NY.
• Industry names follow the BizQuest list (Restaurants, Car Wash, Coin Laundry & Laundromat). For a narrow trade such as HVAC, a keyword finds more than an industry.
• Keywords search the whole listing text on BizQuest, so restaurant also finds listings that only mention a restaurant nearby. Combine a keyword with an industry for tighter results.
• BizQuest shows up to 10,000 listings for one search; split very broad searches by state.
• Links to single listing pages are skipped; paste search result links instead.
• A place BizQuest does not know (a misspelled city, for example) is skipped with a warning in the log instead of returning listings from all of the US. Some small towns have no page of their own on BizQuest; use their county instead, for example St. Charles County, MO.
• Sellers often hide cash flow; with details on, the listing is still charged for the other details it adds (revenue, write-up, reason for selling), and cashFlow stays empty.
• The Actor reads public BizQuest listings only. Contact sellers and brokers in line with the rules for business contact in your country.
