The problem
Selling or buying a business shouldn't feel like a gamble.
Listings that waste your time
Half the businesses advertised elsewhere are already sold, or were never real.
Confidentiality you can't control
The wrong people find out your business is for sale before you're ready.
Brokers who charge a fortune
Traditional agents take 5–10% plus upfront fees — whether or not they deliver.
We built MyNextBusiness to fix all three.

The advisory
Real advisors. Not a cold inbox.
Every listing is handled by a dedicated advisor who manages your deal personally — qualifying buyers, protecting confidentiality, and guiding completion.
A team of 20+ sector specialists across the UK.
Pricing
Free to list.·3–5% on success.
No upfront fees, ever.
You only pay when your business sells.
How do you keep my sale confidential?
Your listing is anonymised and shown without identifying details. The full identity and financials are only released after a buyer signs an NDA — and every document is watermarked and access-tracked.
What does it cost to sell?
Listing is free and there are no upfront fees. We charge a success fee of 3–5% only when your business sells. If it doesn't sell, you pay nothing.
How do you verify buyers?
Before a buyer can unlock full details they confirm their identity and, where relevant, proof of funds — so tyre-kickers and competitors never reach your confidential information.
How long does a typical sale take?
It varies by business, but most complete in around 11 weeks from listing to completion. Your advisor keeps both sides moving so deals don't stall.
Can brokers list on MyNextBusiness?
Yes. Brokers and advisers can manage client listings on the platform and reach our pool of qualified, verified buyers. See the For brokers page for details.
Is my financial information safe?
Yes. Sensitive documents are shared inside the NDA-bound deal room only, watermarked to the viewer and logged on every view, so you always know who has seen what.
