The cost of selling a business on BizBuySell depends on two factors: the listing package, and how long the listing runs.
Below is a detailed breakdown of BizBuySell’s current pricing (as of 2025) for individual sellers—including base listing fees, optional upgrades, term lengths, and any extra costs.

BizBuySell Listing Options
BizBuySell offers three listing tiers for individual sellers: Basic, Showcase, and Diamond. Each tier is available in 3, 6, or 12-month durations. There are no one-month listings.
BizBuySell’s stated reason for the minimum is to give listings “the time needed to appropriately market your business,” since finding the right buyer typically takes several months.
The pricing per month varies depending on the duration — the longer the term, the cheaper the monthly rate.
Basic Listing: The most affordable option. Includes standard listing details and appears in search results—but ranks below Showcase and Diamond. No promotional boosts or added visibility features.
Showcase Listing: Mid-tier package with improved visibility. These listings show up higher in search and, according to BizBuySell, attract up to 3× more leads than Basic.
Diamond Listing: Top-tier package with maximum exposure. Diamond listings appear at the very top of search results, include a large layout with a “Contact Seller” button in the preview, and unlock extra tools like monthly BuyerBlast emails. BizBuySell claims Diamond listings generate 5× more buyer leads than Basic.
BizBuySell Listing Costs by Package and Term
All plans are billed upfront. After the initial term, listings renew monthly at the same per-month rate unless auto-renew is turned off.
Each package includes a 7-day grace period before the official term begins.
| Listing Tier | 3-Month Term | 6-Month Term | Monthly Renewal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $89.95/month ($269.85 total) | $65.95/month ($395.70 total) | $65.95/month (if renewed) |
| Showcase | $109.95/month ($329.85 total) | $89.95/month ($539.70 total) | $89.95/month (if renewed) |
| Diamond | $259.95/month ($779.85 total) | $199.95/month ($1,199.70 total) | $199.95/month (if renewed) |
If going by BizBuySell’s optimistic timeline—a typical sale in about 6 months—then the cost to sell ranges from $395.70 (Basic) to $1,199.70 (Diamond), all paid upfront. If it takes longer, the monthly charges continue until the listing is removed.
Additional Fees and Included Services
All standard features are included in the base listing fee. There are no surprise charges for photos, categories, or basic tools that other platforms might charge extra for.
Like Investors Club, BizBuySell doesn’t charge a success fee or take a cut of the sale. Whether a business sells for $50,000 or $5 million, BizBuySell won’t touch it. The only fees are the upfront listing costs.
All listings come with the expected essentials: business description, financials, photo uploads, etc. The whole system works like a subscription: pick the plan and term, and that’s what’s unlocked.
BizBuySell Pricing vs. Competitors
Here’s how BizBuySell stacks up against a few other platforms.
Investors Club: No listing fees and no commissions for sellers. Investors Club lets sellers list for free, and sellers keep 100% of the proceeds. The platform earns from buyer memberships and value-added upgrades. A good option for those who are fee-sensitive.
Flippa: Lower upfront cost but includes a success fee. Flippa charges a listing fee plus a commission on the final sale price. It’s a common model used by many other marketplaces. We break Flippa fees down in detail in this article.
Brokers: Most brokers charge a closing or “success” fee—usually a percentage of the final sale price. For example, Empire Flippers charges 15% on sales up to $1 million, which means a $500,000 business could cost $75,000 in fees alone. While brokers often provide hands-on support and vet buyers, the commission can add up quickly—especially on higher-value deals. We cover Empire Flipper in detail in this article.
TLDR On BuzBuySell Fees
Expect to pay between $66–$200 per month, depending on the listing tier, with a minimum 3-month commitment.
Longer commitments come with better rates. And there’s no commission or success fee—just the upfront listing cost.
