Pricing Questions? We Have Answers.
What is a success fee?
A success fee is a percentage of the final sale price of your business, paid only when your business successfully sells through our platform or services.
When is the success fee paid?
The success fee is typically paid at the closing of the sale, from the proceeds of the transaction.
Are there any hidden costs?
No, our pricing is transparent. The listed plan fees and success fees are what you pay. Any third-party costs (e.g., legal fees, specific accounting needs) are separate and your responsibility.
Can I upgrade my plan later?
Yes, you can typically upgrade your plan. Contact us to discuss your needs, and we'll help you find the best path forward.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the free valuation work?
Our free valuation uses a combination of your provided financial data, industry benchmarks, and market trends. You'll typically fill out a secure online form and may connect your accounting software for a more accurate assessment. The result is a confidential report estimating your business's market value.
How long does it take to sell a business?
The timeframe can vary significantly based on factors like the industry, business size, market conditions, and asking price. On average, it can take anywhere from 6 to 12 months. Our platform and services are designed to streamline this process.
Is my information kept confidential?
Absolutely. Confidentiality is paramount. We use secure systems and processes. Detailed information about your business is only shared with pre-qualified buyers who have signed a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA).
What kind of businesses do you work with?
We specialize in "Main Street" businesses – typically small to medium-sized enterprises that are owner-operated or play a significant role in their local communities. This includes retail stores, restaurants, service businesses, small manufacturing, and more.
