Trust & safety

Trust, built into every step

Buying or selling a business means sharing sensitive information with strangers. We've designed the entire process so that trust is established before anything private is revealed — and a real team is with you throughout.

Three-layer disclosure

Information is revealed gradually, as trust grows

Nothing identifying is ever public. Each layer unlocks only when the right conditions are met — and the seller stays in control.

Layer 1 · Public

Anonymised teaser

Anyone can browse sector, region and a price band. No business name, no exact figures, no identifying detail.

Layer 2 · Qualified buyer

Verified detail

Once a buyer verifies their identity and signs the NDA, the full description, financials and identity are revealed — for that listing only.

Layer 3 · Deal room

Private data-room

Sensitive documents are shared inside a private, NDA-bound deal room — watermarked with the viewer's name and logged on every view.

Verification

Who's on the other side — checked, not assumed

Seller ownership

We verify a seller genuinely owns the business — including a live Companies House check for registered companies — before it can be published.

Buyer identity

Buyers complete identity verification before they can unlock any listing, so sellers deal only with real, accountable people.

Proof of funds

For sensitive disclosures, buyers provide proof of funds — reviewed privately by our team and never shared with the seller.

NDAs as standard — not an afterthought

Before any buyer sees a seller's identity or financials, they sign a non-disclosure agreement specific to that listing. The signature, version and timestamp are recorded as an immutable part of the deal record, with a non-circumvention commitment that protects sellers from being bypassed.

The concierge process

A real team, with you from enquiry to completion

1

Guided onboarding

We help sellers present their business well and help buyers qualify quickly, so good deals don't stall on paperwork.

2

Managed deal rooms

Each match opens a private deal room with messaging, a document data-room, offers and a timeline — overseen by an advisor.

3

Support to completion

We keep momentum through due diligence and negotiation. Completion happens with your own solicitors; no funds move through the platform.

A dedicated advisor can join any deal room to help both sides — without ever taking sides.
