LONDON - Business sales marketplace www.BusinessesForSale.com has seen a 100% increase in traffic during the last 12 months. In terms of market share and lead generation, BusinessesForSale.com now holds top position worldwide.

September, 2009 - The number of visitors to BusinessesForSale.com in the US has increased by 100% over the last 12 months, indicating the recent downturn and economic turbulence may be coming to an end. BusinessesForSale.com now has over 900,000 visitors a month and is topping search engine listings for all major search terms.

This significant rise in traffic in the US, including a further 40% increase in page impressions has prompted increased broker spending on advertising and marketing. Inquiries are additionally up by 20%, with IT and technology-based businesses proving to be popular amongst high net worth business buyers.

Although the downturn has prompted job losses, many of those made redundant are choosing to start their own business. After losing her job, Ann Macaulay decided to start a childcare service. She states, “I feel motivated because I can look back at where I was and see the results of where I am now.” Macaulay retrained and gained funding to secure her future, before finding a suitable business to buy on BusinessesForSale.com.

Deborah Walker, vice president of capital markets at private mergers and acquisitions firm The March Group states, “We’ve had a great return on the dollars that we’ve invested in BusinessesForSale.com. We want to work with people that are reputable, accommodating, and people we feel can help us grow our company, BusinessesForSale.com does all these.
