The California market on SellMyBiz.com

California has the largest small business base in the US, with strong deal flow in e-commerce, technology, food, professional services and franchise resales.

California employment rules — including classification, meal and rest break requirements and local minimum wages — are a material diligence area for any labor-intensive business.
Online and e-commerce businesses headquartered in California often serve national customers, so buyer pools are national even when the operations are local.
Commercial lease terms and assignment provisions in major metros can materially affect transferability; request the lease early.
