Chicago is home to over 2.5 million potential customers, making it an ideal environment for small businesses looking to grow. There are a plethora of opportunities available for both new and experienced entrepreneurs, and a supportive infrastructure of B2B businesses to help your company flourish. Here on the Exchange Marketplace we sell both new and established businesses in a wide range of industries, including fashion and apparel, home and furniture, and electronics retailers. You can also find some service-based businesses, mostly in fields like digital marketing, for sale. Every business listed in our marketplace features a fully functional ecommerce website and at least one existing product line, so you can start selling almost immediately. You don't need to live in Chicago to purchase one of these companies, but there are some advantages to local purchases, such as tax breaks and other financial supports that are restricted to Chicago residents. You'll also be able to meet with the owner and conduct part of the negotiation in person. Some of the businesses for sale on the Exchange Marketplace also come with an existing physical stock; for these businesses we recommend local purchases, as this gives investors the opportunity to quality-check the merchandise.
