How BizBuyout works
Sell your business in three steps
List your business
Write a public summary, add your financials and choose what stays confidential. The AI listing writer turns your inputs into a draft you review before publishing.
Approve NDAs
Review interested buyers and their NDA records, then decide who moves on to confidential review. A signed NDA does not replace your judgment about the buyer.
Share the data room
Grant document access, answer questions and track progress in the buyer pipeline. Update permissions as each conversation moves forward or ends.

FAQ
Is my business identity hidden?
You can keep identifying details out of the public listing and share them through the permissioned data room. Review your text and images before publishing because a location, photo or operating detail can reveal a business even without its name.
Who sees my financials?
Public financial summary fields are visible on the listing. Confidential financial documents are shared after the buyer accepts your NDA and you grant the required data room permissions. You choose which documents each buyer can access.
How are NDAs recorded?
The acceptance log records the buyer's acceptance time, IP address, user agent and NDA text version. Review the terms before use. BizBuyout records acceptance and provides no legal advice or guarantee that a particular NDA is enforceable.
How are buyers checked?
Buyer profiles, verification status and scoring help organize inquiries. They do not guarantee identity, available funds, financing or intent. Sellers and brokers should confirm buyer information and request appropriate evidence before sharing sensitive documents or accepting an offer.
Can I cancel my subscription?
Yes. Cancel any time through your subscription settings. There are no refunds, and access continues until the end of the paid period. One subscription is allowed per payer.
What is the valuation based on?
The calculator uses the SDE or EBITDA you enter and displayed industry multiple ranges, adjusted for size and years in business. Ranges depend on the industry and your inputs. The result is an estimate, not an appraisal, a guaranteed price or manual valuation advice.
Do you take a commission?
No. BizBuyout charges a flat subscription and takes no commission on a sale. Buyers and sellers arrange their transaction and any separate professional fees directly.
