BusinessBroker.net Scraper - Businesses for Sale

Get businesses for sale from BusinessBroker.net as clean, ready-to-use data: asking price, revenue, cash flow, net profit, location, industry, year established, employees, reason for selling and full description. Search by state, industry, business type, or just grab the newest listings every day. Built for search funders, M&A advisors, business brokers, SBA lenders and anyone hunting for acquisition targets.

Actively maintained. Last update: 2026-11-04. Every release passes 1,300+ automated tests on saved BusinessBroker.net pages plus a check against the live site, and Apify test-runs it every day.

What can you use it for?

• Find acquisition targets. Search funders, independent sponsors and small PE firms can screen hundreds of small businesses by price, cash flow and location in a spreadsheet instead of clicking through listings one by one.
• Daily deal alerts. Run it every morning with New listings from the last N days = 1 and get only fresh deals. Connect it to Google Sheets, Slack or email with Apify integrations.
• Valuation comps. Brokers, appraisers and analysts can compare asking price against revenue and cash flow (price multiples) by industry and state.
• Lead generation for lenders and service providers. SBA lenders, attorneys, accountants and insurance agents can see which businesses in their area are about to change hands.
• Market research. Track how many businesses are for sale per industry or state, and how prices change over time.

How to use it

1. Pick one or more States, Industries or Business types, or paste BusinessBroker.net URLs.
2. Set Maximum listings.
3. Click Start, then download the results as Excel, CSV or JSON, or send them anywhere with Apify integrations.

Leave everything empty and you get the listings added in the last 3 days.

Input options

Option	What it does

industries	Businesses in these BusinessBroker.net categories. Combined with states, only listings in those states are kept

startUrls	Any BusinessBroker.net search/category page or listing page
includeDetails	Open each listing for the full set of fields (default on). Turn off for a fast, cheaper run

minAskingPrice / maxAskingPrice	Keep only listings in this price range (listings with a hidden price are kept)
maxItems	Stop after this many listings
maxConcurrency	Pages loaded at the same time (keep low to be polite)

Fast mode vs. full details

• Full details (default): opens every listing page. Gives all fields above.
• Fast mode (includeDetails off): reads only the search results, about 20× faster. You still get title, asking price, revenue, cash flow, city, state, county and the full description. Revenue and cash flow are rounded to the nearest $1,000 in this mode, because that is how the search results show them.

How much does it cost?

You pay $2.50 per 1,000 listings returned (plus a tiny $0.00005 per run start). Platform usage is included.

Listings	Cost
100	$0.25
1,000	$2.50
5,000	$12.50

Apify's free plan gives you $5 of credit every month, which covers about 2,000 listings. Set a spending limit on any run and the scraper stops exactly there.

Use it via API, on a schedule, or with your tools

• Schedule it daily or weekly in Apify Console to get new listings automatically.
• Only new listings: turn it on in a scheduled run or task and each run returns only listings you haven't had yet, so you never pay twice for the same listing.
• Integrations: send results to Google Sheets, Slack, email, Zapier, Make or a webhook.
• API: run it from your own code and download results as JSON, CSV or Excel.

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("pshivam/businessbroker-net-scraper").call(run_input={"states": ["CA", "TX"], "maxItems": 200})
for listing in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(listing["title"], listing["askingPrice"], listing["cashFlow"])

Use it in Clay, n8n, Make or Zapier

Actor: pshivam/businessbroker-net-scraper. Paste this input and change the filters to yours:

{"states": ["TX"], "newListingsDays": 7, "onlyNew": true, "maxItems": 500}

• Clay: create a table from an Apify source to pull in the results of a scheduled run of this Actor (it refreshes every 24 hours by default), or use the Run Apify Actor enrichment and paste the input.
• n8n: add the Apify node, choose Run Actor and get dataset items, pick this Actor and paste the input.
• Make: use Run an Actor with Run synchronously on, then Get Dataset Items with the run's dataset ID.
• Zapier: schedule this Actor in Apify, then use the Finished Actor Run trigger and Fetch Dataset Items. (Zapier stops waiting for Run Actor after 30 seconds, and a run usually takes about a minute.)

Good to know

• Coverage. BusinessBroker.net's robots.txt lets crawlers read only the first page of each search, and this scraper respects that. To find more listings it also reads related pages (business types and cities inside each state). Turn on deepSearch to read every city page in your states.
• No duplicates. A listing that shows up on several search pages is returned once.
• You pay per listing returned. The run stops at your Maximum listings or at your spending limit, whichever comes first.
• Removed listings are skipped. If a listing was taken down between the search and the visit, it is skipped and replaced with the next one.

FAQ

How much does it cost?

$2.50 per 1,000 listings (less on paid Apify plans), so 100 listings cost $0.25. Apify's free plan credit ($5 a month) covers about 2,000 listings.

How many listings can I get?

Usually most of your search: California alone shows about 1,200 listings. BusinessBroker.net's robots.txt allows only the first page of each search (about 23 listings), so the scraper also reads the related business-type, county and city pages; deepSearch adds every city page in your states.

Is it legal to scrape BusinessBroker.net?

This scraper only reads public pages that the site's robots.txt allows, at a polite speed, and collects business data, not personal data. You are responsible for how you use the data; check the site's terms for your use case.

Can I get the broker's phone number?

No. We deliberately leave out broker names and contact details. Use the listing url to contact the seller through BusinessBroker.net.

Something is missing or broken?

Open an issue on the Actor's Issues tab and we will fix it fast.

How do I get only new listings every day?

Save your search as a task, turn on Only new listings and schedule it daily. Each run then skips the listings earlier runs returned, so you get and pay only for ones you haven't had. Tip: set Maximum listings above the number of listings your search has, so the first run gets them all and later runs return just the new ones.
