Buyers

You can sign a confidentiality deed directly from any business for sale listing.

Because every business seller is different you will need to sign a confidentiality deed for each listing you are interested in.

We’ll notify the business seller who will review your buyer profile and choose to approve or reject your access.

Sellers might also contact you via live chat before they approve your access to the business for sale. 

When the seller has approved your access you will be granted access to the dataroom for the listing and be able to see the Confidential Business Information and FAQs.

That depends on the seller!

Typically, sellers like to deal with BusinessSales Insiders first. In fact many of our listings aren’t even visible to the public.

Becoming a BusinessSales Insider puts you at the front of the queue for the business you want to buy.

Click here to become a BusinessSales Insider and start the process of buying your own business.

As the potential buyer of the business, you don’t want confidential information about the business to be shared with your competitors, staff and suppliers. 

Signing a confidentiality deed protects the goodwill of the business you are trying to buy, and safeguards your private information as the new owner.

Goodwill covers all the intangible aspects of an established business such as the brand and reputation.


When buying a business the difference between the purchase price and the net asset position is the goodwill component.

Sellers

The value of your business is dependent on a number of factors. You can read about how to negotiate the sale of your business for the best price here. 

You can also contact us and ask us to connect you with a Registered Business Valuer to get professional advice on the value before you sell your business.
