❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape BizBuySell and BizQuest? The actor only reads listing data that both sites show to every visitor without an account. Check the sites' terms and your local laws for your use case.

Do I need an account or a proxy? No account. The default datacenter proxy works in our tests; its traffic is billed as platform usage.

Why does BizQuest return the same listings as BizBuySell? Both marketplaces belong to the same company and share one listing database. Each row has both links, so you don't pay twice.

How many results can I get? The sites show at most 10,000 results per search; larger searches are split by asking price automatically, without duplicates.

Why are some fields empty? Sellers decide what to disclose. Many hide the city or address, cash flow or EBITDA, and some listings have no broker phone.

Can I schedule it or use the API? Yes. Schedule runs in the console or start them through the API and read the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel.
