How it works

Two journeys that meet in the middle.

The seller journey

  1. 01

    Create your listing

    Open an account and start a listing for the business you own.

  2. 02

    Provide business information

    Industry, parish, operating history, financial summary and asking price.

  3. 03

    Complete verification

    An attorney certifies that you are entitled to sell the business. This is not an audit of your figures.

  4. 04

    Go live

    The listing appears in the marketplace and in matching saved searches.

  5. 05

    Review buyer interest

    Views, saves and requests for information arrive in one place.

  6. 06

    Respond to buyers you approve

    Answer information requests and progress the sale with the buyers you choose.

The buyer journey

  1. 01

    Create your account

    Register as a buyer, individually or on behalf of a group.

  2. 02

    Set acquisition criteria

    Industry, parish, investment range, revenue and business size.

  3. 03

    Browse opportunities

    Filter and sort the marketplace, in cards or in a dense table view.

  4. 04

    Save businesses

    Build a shortlist of the opportunities worth pursuing.

  5. 05

    Request additional information

    Choose from defined request types; each one is held against the listing.

  6. 06

    Receive the seller's response

    The seller answers each request in the listing record.

  7. 07

    Sign the non-disclosure bundle

    The seller decides whether to approve you.

  8. 08

    Open the data room

    After a second seller approval and the diligence access fee.

  9. 09

    Conduct diligence with your own advisors

    Your accountant, attorney and tax advisor take it from here.
