Business Sale & Broker Demand Data
Live, aggregated data pulled directly from BizBrokerMatch platform activity — what industries owners are asking to sell, how urgent their timelines are, and what closed deals actually sold for. Updated hourly.
Every figure below is suppressed unless at least 5 data points support it — no category is ever narrow enough to identify a specific business. See methodology below.

Methodology & Privacy
Source: Every figure on this page is computed live from real BizBrokerMatch platform activity — seller match requests (industry, state, timeline, revenue range self-selected at intake) and broker-submitted closed-deal records. This is not survey data.
Suppression: Any category with fewer than 5 data points is omitted rather than shown with a misleading small-sample figure. Categories are always broad (industry, state, or timeline alone) — BizBrokerMatch never publishes a combination narrow enough (e.g. industry + city + revenue) to identify an individual business, consistent with our confidentiality commitment to sellers.
Seller demand window: The demand breakdowns (industries, states, timeline, revenue mix) reflect the trailing 90 days and refresh hourly.
Deal benchmarks: Closed-deal figures are cumulative across all deals logged to date and include both self-reported and verified transactions.
