FAQs
-
How accurate is the valuation estimate?
The valuation engine covers 230+ business types and uses local market data. It provides a reliable starting range but is not a formal appraisal, offering a free alternative to professional appraisers who typically charge $3,000-$5,000. -
How do you make sure listings are real?
Every listing undergoes a verification process combining automated checks and manual review by the team. Broker licenses are verified separately, and listings that don't check out don't go live. -
Is Venturu free to use?
Yes, searching, browsing, sending inquiries, listing businesses, and creating broker profiles are completely free. The platform generates revenue from premium tools for brokers rather than charging users for access. -
I want to sell my business. Where do I start?
