Will my staff, customers or landlord find out?+
Not from us. Your photographs, executive summary and data room open only to a buyer whose signed offer you accepted, and that buyer has signed the platform NDA. Your business name and address have their own visibility level: public, KYC, NDA or accepted offer, as you choose.
What do I need to publish a listing?+
A headline, an asking price, last year’s revenue and net profit, and your trade licence. Everything else, from the executive summary to the P&L, lease and photos, can be added later and raises your listing’s completeness score when it is.
What does it cost?+
Listing, messaging and the initial confidential valuation are free, on both sides, with no paywall after a set number of messages. BizBuy earns a commission when a sale completes.
Who can see my financial documents?+
Nobody until you accept an offer. Documents you upload sit in the listing’s data room. A buyer who has signed the platform NDA can make a non-binding offer on the public figures. When you accept their signed offer, and approve their proof of funds if you require one, the data room opens to that buyer alone.
What is a non-binding offer (NBO)?+
A structured offer a buyer submits: price, payment structure, valuation basis and conditions, produced as a letter both sides sign. It commits nobody to the sale. It is the step that moves a conversation into due diligence, and you accept, counter or decline it here.
How long does a sale actually take?+
You can publish the same day your headline, price, last-year financials and trade licence are in. After that it depends on your business and your price. Running offers, diligence and closing inside one platform removes the months that normally leak away between inboxes, lawyers and shared drives.
My business is not perfect. Should I still list?+
Yes. Loss-making, break-even and turnaround businesses sell in this market, often to a buyer who wants the licence, the lease, the team or the customer list. What kills those deals is a seller hiding the problem until diligence. Put it on the record and price it in.
