How it works

1. Loads each BizBuySell search / category URL through a hardened unblocking layer that clears the site's Akamai bot protection.
2. Parses every listing card — asking price, cash flow, revenue, location, category, broker.
3. Follows through to detail fields (established year, employees, reason for selling) where available.
4. Returns up to maxItems listings.

Who it's for

• Business buyers & searchers building deal pipelines by market, industry, and price band.
• M&A advisors and brokers tracking comparable listings and asking multiples.
• Investors screening cash-flow and revenue ranges across categories.

Notes

• Use category / state URLs in startUrls to scope the search (e.g. Texas businesses, restaurants).
• Financial fields (cash_flow, gross_revenue, ebitda) are returned when the seller publishes them; some listings omit them.
