About this data and its limits

  • All figures come from one provider, the BizBuySell marketplace. Sales made by brokers who do not report there, and private sales, are not included.
  • These are national figures for full-year 2025. They are not broken out by state or metro area. For place-based figures, see our small business sales data by state.
  • BizBuySell publishes a median for each sub-sector, not for the whole sector, and medians cannot be added or averaged into a sector median. That is why this page lists sub-sectors and does not state one sector-wide price.
  • Sub-sectors named "Other" are catch-all groups that mix different kinds of business. Rows marked * rest on fewer than 20 reported sales and can swing widely.
  • Two figures are computed here, not quoted: the sector total, 523 = 339 + 69 + 49 + 44 + 12 + 10, and its share, 523 divided by 9,574 = 5.5%. All other figures are quoted from the source table.
  • Sector grouping follows BizBuySell's classification. Other BizBuySell reports may group sectors differently or cover other periods, so do not set this table against them without checking.
