BizBuySell.com Partners with American City Business Journals to Power Online Business-for-Sale Listings

Business listings in the Internet's largest marketplace for buying and selling businesses are now searchable through online editions of the American City Business Journals.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) June 4, 2009 -- BizBuySell.com (http://bizbuysell.com/), the Internet's largest marketplace for buying or selling a small business, announced today that it has partnered with American City Business Journals (ACBJ) to bring its database of nearly 50,000 business-for-sale listings to the publications' online editions.

BizBuySell.com will now power the business-for-sale search functionality for the publication's 42 local editions through bizjournals (http://www.bizjournals.com/), the online media division of ACBJ. Each city's readers can access relevant listings via the "Small Business" pages of their local editions. In addition, each local edition will highlight local businesses for sale, which can be accessed through the partnered websites.

"By working with bizjournals, BizBuySell is able to give business-for-sale listings more exposure than ever before," says BizBuySell.com General Manager Mike Handelsman. "Not only do business buyers benefit from gaining access to listings they otherwise might never have seen, but sellers can now reach a much wider audience and potentially sell their businesses faster."

In addition, BizBuySell.com has launched an ACBJ-powered "BizNews" (http://www.bizbuysell.com/biznews) section to display the publication's latest small business news stories. The page is designed to keep BizBuySell.com site visitors updated on relevant headlines from each local Business Journal.

"Partnering with BizBuySell helps us provide the best business-for-sale information to each of our 41 online publications," says Ryan Whittington, bizjournals' Vice President, General Manager. "In addition, by providing our small business news feed to BizBuySell, we bring up-to-the-minute small business news to BizBuySell's audience."
