At present, there are approximately 240 businesses available for sale in Chicago. This vibrant market offers a diverse range of opportunities for prospective buyers. Many of these businesses may be listed for sale blindly to maintain confidentiality, so a broader Cook County or Chicago Metro Area search may be needed to find them.

The Chicago business market is diverse, with the following types of businesses frequently listed:

Additionally, there are Automotive and Boat, Beauty and Personal Care, Manufacturing, Transportation and Storage, Education and Children, as well as Online and Technology businesses each with around 10 listings.

What is the average asking price for these businesses?

For business owners in Chicago looking to sell their businesses, what options do they have?

Business owners in Chicago can take two primary routes to sell their businesses. Most business owners will hire a business broker, who typically charges a fee ranging from 10% to 15% of the sale price. Business brokers can add significant value through their expertise in valuation, marketing, and negotiating deals. Alternatively, some business owners might choose to list the business for sale directly and manage the sale process on their own to avoid broker commissions. This approach requires a greater level of involvement and understanding of the sales process and is suitable for business owners who have the time and resources to handle it. Overall, both options can be viable depending on the specific needs and goals of the business owner.
