The $10 Trillion Handoff

They built it.
You run it.

BuyABoomer is the marketplace where retiring business owners find their successor. Not a faceless transaction. A partnership between the generation that built it and the generation that will carry it forward.

2.6M Boomer-owned businesses
77% Plan to exit by 2033
210K+ Hitting market annually
"Boomer" became an insult. We're turning it into an opportunity. Every retiring owner has a lifetime of knowledge, a customer base, and a business that works. Every ambitious buyer has the energy and ideas to take it further. BuyABoomer is where those two meet.

The greatest wealth transfer in history is happening right now. Most of it will be wasted because buyers and sellers can't find each other. We're fixing that.

Three steps from "I'm done" to "I've got this"

01

Tell Your Story

Sellers list their business with the story behind it, not just the spreadsheet. What you built, why it matters, and what kind of owner you're looking for.

02

Find Your Match

Buyers browse by industry, location, and price. But also by story, mentorship availability, and transition style. This isn't Craigslist for companies.

03

Transition Together

Our Mentor Match feature keeps sellers involved during the handoff. 3-6 months of training, introductions, and knowledge transfer so nothing gets lost.

Professional Photography

High-quality photos that show buyers what they're actually buying. Not a grainy storefront shot from a parking lot.

✍️

Personalized Write-Up

We tell your story the way you'd tell it — but polished. Your 30 years of context, turned into a listing that connects.

🚀

Published & Live

We take it from inquiry to live listing. You review and approve. Then buyers come to you.

List Free. If We Sell It, You Pay Just 3%.

Listing is always free. The first 10 businesses to close pay just 3% commission. After that, our standard rate is 8% flat — still half what traditional brokers charge. No hidden fees. No surprises.

🚫

No listing fees

Sellers list for free. Always. No monthly charge, no "premium" tier that actually works.

🔒

Your privacy, protected

Seller emails are never shown publicly. Buyer contact info only goes to the seller they messaged — no one else.

🤝

Direct connections

Buyers and sellers talk directly. No account managers, no gatekeeping. Just real people having real conversations.

Zero pressure

Sending an inquiry isn't a commitment. Listing isn't a commitment. You're never locked into anything.

List for free. Pay only when your business sells. BuyABoomer is straightforward: sellers post their story, buyers reach out, and they work it out together. Listing is always free — no monthly fee, no upfront cost. We take a small commission only when a deal closes. Our Founders 10 promo means the first 10 businesses that successfully close pay just 3%. After that, 8% flat. Either way, you're paying half what a traditional broker would charge.

BuyABoomer doesn't just list businesses—we engineer matches. Story-first matching, mentor transition support, and legacy-focused vetting create outcomes traditional brokers can't. Listing is free, and we only get paid when you close — at a fraction of what a broker would charge. Your life's work deserves more than a listing on a generic broker site.

Every boomer's business is someone's next chapter

The generation that built the American small business economy is stepping back. The question isn't whether these businesses change hands. It's whether they survive the transition. BuyABoomer exists to make sure they do.
