Can you promote here?
Promotion is allowed only with moderator permission (or inside designated threads). A short, honest modmail before posting costs two minutes and functions as a safe-conduct pass; skipping it is the most common avoidable removal.
From the rules · Mods may allow links or names only after you’ve contributed substantial, useful content and built karma in this sub.

Links are prohibited in posts or comments. Name things in plain text; interested readers will search.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: guide, question, discussion
Headline: specific, benefit-driven (e.g., “How I valued X” or “Looking to buy in [region]”). Use first person for deal experience, neutral/analytical voice for valuation guides. Posts tend to be long (detailed writeups with numbers, SDE, add-backs) and pragmatic. Tone: professional, evidence-based, helpful. Upvoted: deep analysis, clear assumptions, local sourcing questions. Removed: product/service pitches, named links, or solicitations.
Arriving in the local format matters: cross-posting the same text everywhere reads as tourist instantly. The wider method is in the Reddit playbook.
Classified mechanically from the community's published rules and recent top posts, last checked August 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/buyingabusiness's rules page before posting anything that matters.
Thread Otter checks this before every send
These profiles power the product: promo-banned communities never receive a promotional draft, drafts arrive in the local format, and a fact-check gate plus human pacing protect the account doing the talking.
