Businesses for sale in Chicago, IL
Want to buy a business in Chicago? This page rounds up Chicago listings from public listing sites and brokers, and searching them is free. Neighborhood names come up constantly here: Logan Square bakeries, Lincoln Park restaurants and med spas, Old Town gyms, Lincoln Square nail salons, and staffing franchises in the West Loop. You'll also see laundromats, window cleaning routes, medical and therapy practices, and the occasional car dealership. Many asking prices here land well under a million dollars, a realistic range for a first-time buyer. When a seller shares enough numbers, we add a cash-on-cash estimate on our model, a quick way to compare a pizzeria against a salon before you call anyone. Searching the Chicago suburbs instead? We have a separate Naperville page for the west suburbs.
