Members see it first, under a signed confidentiality agreement, and keep it to themselves for seven days before any public marketing.

Read the full step

A clear letter of intent, talked through beside you. Every yes and every no is yours.

The five steps

What happens, and when.

Top to bottom is the whole sale. The map above jumps straight to any step.

1

Your number

First

An estimated range from your own statements, not a guess. We restate your earnings the way buyers read them and price against the multiples buyers are paying in your industry.

You provide: two or three years of statements. You get: an estimated range and a straight answer on whether it will sell, free either way.
2

Your package

Next

Your business presented like it matters: a live page covering the story, the operation, the team and the restated financials, with the levers a buyer can pull. Built once, approved by you, so every buyer sees the same case for your price.

Confidentiality: nothing identifying leaves our hands without a signed confidentiality agreement. Staff and competitors stay in the dark.
3

The Buyers Market Club

Then

Buyers Market Club members told us what they want to own. Your business goes to the Club first, under the confidentiality agreement every member signed to join, and stays with members only for seven days before any public marketing. Every buyer gave us a budget, how they are funding it and what they are after when they registered.

Your time is protected: you meet buyers in meetings we set up and sit in on, never cold and never alone.
4

Offer

As soon as the right buyer is at the table

Offers come together on a clear letter of intent and get talked through with us at every step. You are never on a call alone, and every yes and every no is yours.

Smaller deals with a cash buyer can move from the first meeting to an accepted offer quickly; bigger ones take the time they take, and you know where you stand at every step.
5

Close

Last

Diligence runs on the timeline the offer sets, with documents opening in stages. Your lawyer papers the deal, the conditions clear, and funds flow through a lawyer's trust account. Our fee comes out at closing, only if it closes.

The finish line: money in your account, keys handed over on your terms, and a handover plan the buyer signed up to.

Buying instead?

The same discipline works in your favour: the owner's figures restated the way buyers price them, documents opening in stages under one agreement, meetings that are set up for you, and support from first look to keys. Register once and new businesses reach you seven days before they are public.

Two speeds

Every deal runs one of two tracks.

Deal size sets the pace. Smaller businesses with cash buyers don't need the timelines of a big deal, so we don't impose them.

Fast track

Smaller deals, ready buyers.

Usually an asset sale, paid in cash or with financing already arranged.

  • Diligencea short window set in the offer
  • Closesoon after diligence clears
  • Start to finishweeks, not months

How long diligence runs depends on the size and shape of the business. Bigger deals take longer, which is what the standard track is for.

Standard track

Larger or more complex deals.

Bigger price tags, financing conditions, share sales, landlord consents.

  • Diligencea longer window set in the offer
  • Closeonce every condition clears
  • Start to finishmonths, planned out in advance
Confidentiality, staged

Who learns what, and when.

The whole process is built so the wrong people never find out and the right people learn more only as they earn it.

1

Anonymous profile

Industry, region, and headline numbers only. No name, no address, nothing a competitor could place.

2

Signed agreement, full package

Club members signed a confidentiality agreement when they joined. Only then do they receive the complete package, with the name and the financials.

3

Diligence after the offer

The most sensitive material, like customer lists and contracts, opens only after a signed offer, on the timeline the offer sets.

Process questions

The fine print, in plain words.

Who actually talks to the buyers?
We do, and you're never alone when it's your turn. First contact and scheduling happen on our side; you join structured meetings we moderate, with prep beforehand.
What do you need from me during the sale?
Honest numbers at the start, quick answers during diligence, and your approval at every decision point. The heavy lifting, documents, marketing and coordination, stays with us. You keep running the business.
What happens if a buyer walks away?
The process keeps moving. The rest of the Club is still there, the package is already built, and nothing restarts from zero.
When do you get paid?
At closing, out of the sale proceeds, through the lawyer's trust account. If the deal doesn't close, we don't get paid. There are no retainers or upfront fees at any point.
