If it is just the business and not buying a building or the land beneath it then it is not generally a real estate licensed activity.You need to check for each state what is or is not required.You could go on a site like Rocket Lawyer etc. and for a nominal fee ask the question.In commercial real estate transactions you can generally have consulting and other fees on the HUD-1 as RESPA does not typically apply.To look for more businesses you could look at bizbuysell.com Sellers typically want 3 times gross profit earnings so if 100k a year after expenses they want 300,000.
