About Baton

Baton is a marketplace for buying and selling businesses. We guide small business owners through the complex challenge of selling their business. Sellers appreciate how our platform helps them seamlessly go from listing to closing with support from our team whenever they need. Buyers know us for our quality of listings, our innovative features, and our speed to close.
