Founding market
The US market is open — and early
The US market is newly open, so local inventory is still small — which cuts both ways: buyers see every new US listing, and founding sellers get the whole market’s attention. Listing is free.
Selling in the United States
What’s different here
The parts of a US sale that are genuinely local — worth knowing before you list, and worth checking with your own adviser before you sign.
- Asset sale or stock sale — the structure sets the tax bill.Most US small-business sales close as asset sales, and how the price is allocated across asset classes (reported by both sides to the IRS on Form 8594) decides how much of your gain is taxed at capital-gains rates versus ordinary rates. Agreeing the allocation early keeps deals from stalling late.
- SBA 7(a) loans finance buyers up to $5 million.The US has something most markets don’t: government-guaranteed acquisition lending. SBA 7(a) loans fund business purchases up to $5 million, which widens the real buyer pool for Main Street businesses. bizflip’s buyer verification includes an SBA-finance readiness rung, so sellers can see it.
- Broker licensing is state-by-state.Some states require business brokers to hold a real-estate license; others don’t regulate the trade at all. It changes who can legally run your sale and how engagements are written — worth knowing before you sign one.
