Where Boring Businesses Live
The term "boring business" may be new to some, but it's been the core of BizBuySell's marketplace for almost thirty years. Established, successful, and profitable businesses are less likely to be some flashy tech company, but more often the businesses we encounter on a day-to-day basis, from service and construction to restaurants and gas stations. The most profitable types of businesses remain those that are necessary for society to function.
