Buy or Sell a Service Business in California
Service businesses are some of the most commonly listed for sale on BizBuySell, and include a wide range of people and process driven companies that sell expertise or labor rather than physical products. Common businesses are home and commercial services (cleaning, inspections, renovation, HVAC, automotive services), business services (marketing, signage, printing, brokerage, coworking), route based and asset light operations (parking management, entertainment routes), and franchised service brands.
