Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly does LocalBOP offer?
LocalBOP is a new and exciting online marketplace that hosts a plethora of business minded entrepreneurs, opportunist, idea makers, job seekers, partners, advisors, consultants, brokers, and those looking to buy or sell a business. It’s a place where you can search for people, ideas and opportunities as well as post the same. In addition, you can also search for and list businesses for sale.

Whether you are looking to get involved in something or want to find someone who can help you execute on a vision, localbop.com is that resource for you!
What is the difference between "Postings" and "Listings"?
We use the word “Postings” for business opportunities and “Listings” for businesses for sale.
How does your pricing structure work?
We have put together an innovative pricing structure that is suitable under different budgets and needs. First, pick your membership level as we offer three types of memberships:
 Basic Membership:FREE!
 Premium Membership:$9.95 per month.
 Broker Membership:$19.95 per month.
As a Basic Member, you get access to much of the services but have limits on how many postings/listings you can have as well as your ability to contact members in the LocalBOP network. You may only contact 1 Member per day and you are able to post 1 Listing/Opportunity per day. Also, you may not post topics in our forum, but may reply to any thread.

As a Premium Member, those limitations are lifted and you also receive deep discounts on the price of your Featured and Showcase Ads.

We offer three types of advertising levels for your business opportunity postings and business for sale listings. Ad pricing for Featured and Showcase ads are based on your Membership Level as seen above:

I'm a business broker. What am I paying for?
In essence, you are paying for a highly discounted ad model for bulk listings as well as access to the tools that we offer and will continue to develop. We are confident that you will save money with LocalBOP and that our pricing structure will be beneficial to you.
What is the key difference among your ads?
Obviously, ranking is the biggest difference. Showcase ads receive highest priority placement. In addition, Showcase Ads have the ability to showcase 4 pictures, video, flyers, demographic information, icons, as well as a slightly yellow colored background. Featured ads allow for 1 picture, icon placement and are ranked behind Showcase ads. Basic ads are text ads and are ranked last on the user search.
Describe a typical "Post" on LocalBOP.
You are a new entrepreneur that is looking for a Chief Financial Officer with Financial Services experience. Since your idea has yet to be developed, you have no way to offer a salary. You are looking for someone that believes in your concept, will work for free until capital is raised and can bring investors to the table. You plan on offering an equity stake in the company in exchange for his/her sweat equity. LocalBOP is the perfect place to post this opportunity and find the right kind of partner for your new venture.

You are a new young company looking for an investor/board of advisor. You post your opportunity and use our icon choices to highlight visually what you are looking for.
What are Icon choices and how do I use them?
The more graphically eye-appealing your ad, the better response you will get. We have designed LocalBOP to be visually appealing to the search user who can quickly determine if an opportunity or businesses for sale meets his/her criteria. Only Featured and Showcase ads can access the Icon choices as seen below. To better understand how to use these icons, please visit our Take a Tour page.
Can I upgrade and/or cancel my account at any time?
Yes! You can not only upgrade your account and then cancel at any time, you can upgrade or downgrade your specific ads from Basic to Showcase at any time with a quick click of a button.
How do I advertise my company on MyLocalBOP's main page?
Please contact us at advertising@localbop.com and we will send over a pricing guide.
