The New Way To Sell Your Company

No upfront fees. BizPort charges a 3–8% success fee, depending on deal size, paid only at close. We explain fees in our first conversation.

BizPort engagements average 5 to 7 months. Buyer diligence typically ranges from 2 to 4 months, depending on the buyer profile and capital readiness. Exit preparation can begin well before going to market.

Valuation multiples vary by industry, business size, growth, revenue quality, and risk. There is no single multiple that applies to every business. Use our instant valuation tool for a more precise, preliminary range.

Brokers often combine marketplace listings with relationships and direct outreach. M&A advisors typically run a structured sale process with targeted buyer outreach and negotiation support. Services overlap and vary by firm. BizPort also helps founders prepare an exit strategy and define clear market positioning before going to market.

We help professional services, consumer, and software businesses prepare for an exit and market their business. Our ideal profile is $1–10M EBITDA and $2M+ ARR, whether planning ahead or ready to sell.

AI helps our advisors research buyers, prepare materials, and run targeted outreach faster. This helps us reach more relevant buyers and run a faster, more competitive process aimed at generating more offers for founders. Our advisors lead strategy and negotiations.

Look for consistent growth, diversified customers, a capable team, and active buyers in your sector. Your personal readiness matters too. Start exploring while the business is strong, rather than waiting for burnout or slowing growth.

Strategic buyers may pay more for a business that fills a gap, but may integrate operations or your brand. Private equity often focuses on growth and may offer retained equity. Independent sponsors can offer flexible structures. BizPort brings these options together so you can weigh price, future involvement, and your team's needs.

We approach buyers using a blind profile without your company name. Qualified buyers sign NDAs before receiving identifying details, and information is shared in stages. This reduces the risk of premature disclosure to employees, customers, or competitors.

Your business's value depends on its financial performance, industry, growth prospects, and risk. Buyers may assess earnings or recurring revenue alongside the overall quality of the business. Use our instant valuation tool for a more precise, preliminary range.

Look for industry expertise, active buyer outreach, senior advisor involvement, and clear seller alignment. Ask about relevant transactions, fees, and process. BizPort combines sell-side-only representation with AI-powered research and a structured process for founder-owned businesses.

Potential buyers include strategic acquirers, private equity-backed platforms, independent sponsors, and family offices. BizPort combines research, relationships, and direct outreach to target 100 to 300 relevant acquirers per engagement.

Prepare three years of clean financials and document EBITDA adjustments. Reduce customer concentration, document processes, and build a team that operates without you. Organize legal records and speak with an advisor 6–12 months before your target close. BizPort offers a readiness assessment.
