Accessibility statement — Businesses For Sale

Businesses For Sale is built to be usable by everyone, including people who browse with a keyboard, a screen reader, magnification, or with animation turned down.

The standard we aim for

We target WCAG 2.1 Level AA — the standard most commonly referenced in accessibility requirements, including the US Department of Justice's Title II rule and Section 508. This is a statement of what we have done and what we know is imperfect, not a certification.

What is in place

Semantic landmarks and one main heading per page, so a screen reader can navigate structurally.
A skip link to the main content, and a visible focus outline on everything focusable.
Labels on every form control; icon-only buttons carry accessible names.
Current state announced where it matters — the page you are on, whether a menu is open, whether a listing is saved.
Form results announced through a live region rather than only appearing visually.
Menus and accordions built from native HTML, so they work with JavaScript switched off.
Text contrast checked against AA in both the light and dark themes.
Motion respects your system "reduce motion" setting, and can be switched off site-wide.
Tables carry captions and header scope; images have alternative text or are marked decorative.
Touch targets on the mobile action bar are at least 44px tall.

Where we fall short

Being honest about the gaps is part of the point:

Listing images are supplied by sellers, and their descriptions are only as good as what the seller wrote.
Payment is completed on our payment provider's own pages, and any anti-spam challenge is a third-party component. Both are outside our control.
Invoices are HTML pages you print or save as PDF; the resulting file inherits your browser's behaviour.

Tell us about a barrier

If something here stops you doing what you came to do, we want to know — it is treated as a bug, not a request. Questions go to a@a.com. Tell us the page and what happened, and we aim to reply within five working days. If a page is unusable for you, we will give you the same information another way.
