BusinessesForSale Scraper

Export public BusinessesForSale.com listings as structured JSON, CSV, or Excel. Each row keeps the asking price, financial summary, location, and canonical listing URL.

What you get

• Public business-for-sale listings from search and category pages
• Asking price, revenue, cash flow, currency, location, and listing ID
• Franchise opportunities with franchise fee and investment ranges
• Descriptions, images, canonical URLs, and query provenance
• Deduplicated pagination in a 256 MB HTTP Actor

Output fields

Common fields are listingId, title, url, description, imageUrl, price, currency, askingPrice, revenue, cashFlow, location, marketCountryCode, listingType, labels, tags, searchUrl, and source. Franchise listings also carry franchiseFee, totalInvestment, and minimumInvestment, and every row keeps the full financials table shown on the search card. marketCountryCode describes the regional site market and may differ from the free-text listing location.

The Actor exports fields publicly shown on search pages; some sellers disclose financials only on request. It does not reveal gated seller contact details, bypass logins, or verify seller claims. Page structure, availability, and regional coverage can change.
