LINK Business Scraper - Businesses for Sale in New Zealand & Australia

Get businesses for sale in New Zealand and Australia from LINK Business Brokers, New Zealand's largest business broker, with about 1,400 listings across both countries (linkbusiness.co.nz and linkbusiness.com.au): asking price, profit, sales revenue, industry, region, city and the full description. Filter by country, industry, location, price or keyword, and export to Excel, CSV, JSON or the API.

Actively maintained. Last update: 2026-11-04. Every release passes 220+ automated tests on saved LINK pages plus a check against the live sites, and Apify test-runs it every day.

What can you use it for?

• Find a business to buy in NZ or Australia. Screen every cafe, dairy, service station, franchise or trade business in your region by price instead of paging through two websites.
• Deal flow for buyers, investors and advisers. Schedule a daily run and send new listings to Google Sheets, Slack or your CRM.
• Valuation research. Asking price, profit and sales revenue as numbers: compare price-to-profit multiples by industry and region.
• Market research. Count listings and asking prices by industry, region and country.

Privacy

Listings show their brokers' names, phone numbers and e-mail addresses. The scraper never collects them: it skips the broker blocks, drops description lines that name a broker, and replaces any other e-mail address, phone number or web link with [removed].

How to use it

1. Pick Countries (both by default) and optionally Industries.
2. Optionally add Locations (e.g. Auckland, Christchurch, Gold Coast, Sydney), a Keyword or a price range.
3. Set Maximum listings, click Start, and download the results.

With both countries, Maximum listings is shared fairly between them.

Input options

Option	What it does
countries	NZ, AU or both (default both)

startUrls	The businesses-for-sale list or single listing URLs, scraped as given
includeDetails	Open each listing for the full set of fields (default on). Turn off for a fast, cheaper run
onlyNew	Skip listings that earlier runs of the same search returned: you get and pay only for ones you haven't had (the first run works as usual)
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 for profit, sales revenue, subcategory, city and the full description.
• Fast mode (includeDetails off): reads only the list pages, about 12x fewer requests: title, industry, region, asking price and picture.

How much does it cost?

You pay $3.00 per 1,000 listings returned (plus a tiny $0.00005 per run start). Platform usage is included.

Listings	Cost
100	$0.30
All of New Zealand (~540)	about $1.60
Both countries (~1,400)	about $4.20

Apify's free plan gives you $5 of credit every month. 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 to catch every new listing.
• 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, e-mail, 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/link-business-scraper").call(run_input={"countries": ["NZ"], "industries": ["Food/Hospitality"], "maxItems": 100})
for business in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(business["title"], business["askingPrice"], business["region"])

Use it in Clay, n8n, Make or Zapier

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

{"countries": ["NZ", "AU"], "onlyNew": true, "maxItems": 2000}

• 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

• LINK's robots.txt allows only the main lists, not the site's own filters, so country is chosen by site and industry, location, price and keyword are checked by the scraper. You only pay for listings that match.
• Figures are the seller's own, as published. Many listings say "Refer to Broker" instead of a price, profit or revenue; those fields are then empty.
• "+ SAV" means plus stock at value; the asking price excludes it.
• Featured listings come first on LINK's lists; there is no newest-first order to rely on, so use Only new listings for a daily feed.

FAQ

How many listings are there?

About 1,400: roughly 540 in New Zealand (45 list pages) and 840 in Australia (70 list pages).

How much does it cost?

$3.00 per 1,000 listings (less on paid Apify plans), so 100 listings cost $0.30 and both countries about $4.20.

Is it legal to scrape LINK Business Brokers?

This scraper reads public listing pages at a polite speed, follows the sites' robots.txt and returns business data with broker contact details removed. You are responsible for how you use the data; check the sites' terms for your use case.

Can I get the broker's phone number?

No. Broker names and contact details are left out on purpose. Use the listing url to enquire through LINK.

What does LINK Corporate mean?

LINK Corporate brokers represent businesses valued at $2m and above. Those listings have isCorporate set to true.

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.
