California is home to some of the United States' most vibrant industries
California is home to some of the United States' most vibrant economies. In the south, Los Angeles is the heart of the entertainment industry and home to extensive tourism and gaming markets. In the north, San Francisco is home to Silicon Valley and several other centers of innovation. And across the entire state, there are almost 40 million residents. Some of the most successful industries in California are professional and business services (things like lawyers and advertising firms), financial services, retail trade, and information and communication technology. There are also strong construction and manufacturing industries. This plethora of well paid employment opportunities provides California with an incredibly nurturing environment for all kinds of small businesses, especially ecommerce businesses that don't have to worry about potentially massive rents. Buying a California business from the Exchange Marketplace is one of the easiest ways to become part of this booming economy. We facilitate bidding, negotiations, and purchases entirely online so you don't even have to live in the state to start doing business in California.

Why use Exchange?
Exchange is the largest and fastest-growing marketplace for Shopify e-commerce stores
Verified listing data
The revenue and traffic data that you see on each listing is pulled directly from its Shopify account. This means that the data has been verified. Exchange reviews and monitors listings for thorough and accurate information.
Secure messaging platform
You will be able to communicate with sellers via a secure messaging platform. After you log in and request information from a listing, sellers are notified and have the ability to respond. When you are ready, you can make an offer.
Encrypted payment capture
Exchange and Escrow.com have partnered together to provide you with safe transactions that have bank encryption, making sure that payment is securely captured. Escrow.com ensures that its users pass verification checks before transactions can proceed.
Take time to inspect the business
Once you submit payment to Escrow.com and the payment has been secured, the funds are held until you confirm that all assets received are as negotiated. You can use the inspection period to ask the seller any extra questions about the business.
Safe store transfer
When the transaction is finalized, the dedicated migration team at Exchange will begin the process of making you the new owner of the store. Buyers and sellers will be notified via an email from the Exchange team once store transfers have been completed.
Post-purchase 24/7 Shopify support
Once you log into your Shopify account for the first time and choose a subscription plan, Shopify Support Gurus are available 24/7 to help you with the settings of the store.

Small businesses, big opportunities
Explore the benefits of buying a business in California
California is a massive and growing economy that sits at the heart of several international industries. If the United States is the nation of opportunity, California is the ultimate state of opportunity, rife with potential for entrepreneurs of all kinds. All new and established businesses for sale on the Exchange Marketplace come with fully functional ecommerce stores and pre-selected product lines. These businesses use remote warehousing and dropshipping technology so you can sell your products anywhere in the world, without having to worry about the shipping yourself. Some of the companies for sale in our marketplace come with physical stock. We strongly recommend local purchases in these instances, as this provides investors with an opportunity to meet with the owner during the negortiation in person and verify the quality of any merchandise before they make a purchase. Local business owners might also be able to access additional benefits, such as tax breaks and other financial supports, that are restricted to residents of California.
