Modified on: November 15th, 2021


Follow this link to start your search. You'll see a results page with listings displayed in rows. There is a purple bar above the listings. Tap on Filters on the right side of the bar and a box will open up. The box contains filters that you can use to narrow your search. For example, if you want to narrow your search to businesses for sale, tap on the purple down arrow to the right of All Categories in the Category box. You'll see a list of categories. Scroll down and tap on Businesses For Sale. The page will refresh and show only business for sale listings. If you want to narrow your search to manufacturing businesses, tap on Filters to reopen the box and tap on the purple down arrow to the right of All Sectors. You'll see a list of industry sectors. Scroll down and tap on Manufacturing. The page will refresh and show  manufacturing businesses for sale. If you want to narrow your search to businesses in the United States, tap on Filters to reopen the box and tap on the purple down arrow to the right of Worldwide. You'll see a list of countries. Scroll down and tap on United States. The page will refresh and show manufacturing businesses for sale in the United States. 

You can also use the filters to broaden your search. For example, if you want to change the location back to Worldwide, tap on Filters to reopen the box and tap on the purple down arrow to the right of United States. You'll see a list of countries. Click on Worldwide at the top of the list. The page will refresh and show manufacturing businesses for sale worldwide. 

The filters will change as you change your search. For example, a filter for states will appear after you select United States and disappear after you select Worldwide. The filters are different for each category. Some categories have location filters while others do not. Some categories have financial filters, such as price and sales, while others do not. 

The steps are slightly different with a desktop or laptop computer. Follow this link to learn how to search with a desktop or laptop computer.
