Frequently Asked Questions
Zero. You can list your business, get a valuation, and test the market completely free.
No. We don't believe in locking sellers in. You can work with other brokers or advisors simultaneously, and you can leave any time.
Nobody until you decide. Your identity and company details stay anonymous until you choose to share them with a specific buyer.
Yes. Your data is encrypted and never shared without your written consent. We follow enterprise-grade security standards.
Our technology-driven process typically condenses the timeline to 10–16 weeks, well below the 9–12 month industry average. The early weeks focus on valuation and positioning, followed by buyer sourcing and outreach, then managing competitive offers, and finally due diligence through to closing.
Self-directed means you use our platform and buyer network to run your own process — we're available for support but you're in the driver's seat. Advisor-led means you're matched with a vetted M&A advisor who manages the process for you, from valuation to close.
Just basic information about your business and, ideally, at least one year of P&L financials. You can start in under 10 minutes.
Our network includes strategic buyers (competitors and industry consolidators), private equity and family offices, and owner-operators. All buyers are vetted before accessing deal information.
