BizTrader.com today launched an online global marketplace for buying or selling a company, valuing a business, and finding a lender or investment.

Geared specifically for small businesses, BizTrader.com’s services incorporate Web 2.0 functionality including blogging, video capability, mass listing syndication and distribution, RSS feeds, chat boards, and real-time, automated translation between English, Spanish, and Chinese. Small business owners and buyers have not been able to connect with such ease on a global scale before.

“Biztrader.com will revolutionize the way businesses are bought, sold, valued, or financed,” says Colby Sambrotto, CEO of Biztrader.com. “Small businesses in aggregate make up a large percentage of the world economy, but until now, they have flown largely below the radar. In part, this is because there has never been a central hub where they could interact and be tracked. BizTrader.com will serve as an international marketplace where people from around the world can meet online to share ideas, barter services, find professional advice, buy and sell businesses, get foreign investments and much more.”

With the launch, BizTrader.com unveils its free business valuation software that provides a comprehensive overview of a company’s worth by evaluating financial data alongside historical transactions within the same industries. The new proprietary software is an invaluable tool for buyers, sellers or anyone wishing to identify the accurate value of a specific business.
