Emerging players

• BizBuySell: BizBuySell is the largest online business-for-sale marketplace in North America. While not a broker itself, it disintermediates traditional brokers by enabling direct buyer-seller matching, putting pressure on the marketing/listing value that VR brokers provide.
• Acquire.com: Acquire.com is an online marketplace for buying and selling startups and small online businesses, representing a technology-enabled alternative to traditional business brokers at the lower end of the market. Indirect competitive pressure on VR's Main Street segment from a tech-native model.
