Pay-As-You-Go Plans: No Commission Policy
Our Pay-As-You-Go plans (Standard and Premium) operate on a strict no-commission basis, meaning there will be no additional fees based on the final sale price of your business. These plans are structured as one-time purchases or flexible monthly subscriptions, providing transparency and predictability in costs. By choosing a Pay-As-You-Go plan, you agree to these terms and acknowledge that support is provided solely within the scope of the purchased plan.

Regardless of how your business is sold—whether through WorldBusinessesForSale.com, another broker, or directly by you—you agree to pay us the applicable commission percentage based on the plan you selected. This is a non-exclusive listing, meaning you can sell your business independently or through other brokers, but if your business sells during the listing period, the agreed-upon commission will be due to WorldBusinessesForSale.com.

  • When is Payment Due? Commission payments are due upon the successful completion of the sale of your business. Payment must be made within 14 days after the sale closes.
  • Minimum Commission for Swift Sales: If you selected the Swift Sales Plan, please note that the minimum commission starts at 5% of the total sale price.
  • Broker Listing Commission: If a business broker lists a business for sale on our platform, a commission fee of 1% to 2% of the total sale price will be charged, depending on the broker's chosen selling plan.
  • Individual Listing Commission: If an individual business owner lists their business for sale on our platform, a commission fee of 2% to 4% of the total sale price will be charged, depending on the selected selling plan.
