Find your buyerExit on your terms.
MyBusinessAcquisitions takes a business sale from first contact to signed agreement inside a single system. Not a listings site. Not a directory. The place the deal actually gets done.
The problem, honestly stated
The largest financial event of your life, runs in the dark.
Weeks pass. Your broker says things are progressing. You do not know what the buyer has agreed to, what is still open, or whether the person on the other side is serious.
Nine to eighteen months
That is how long a typical sale runs, and most of it is silence.
Paid whether or not it completes
Three to five per cent, plus a retainer of £5,000 to £15,000 up front.
Four out of five never sell
Roughly 80% of listed businesses do not find a buyer at all.
You cannot see what is happening
You find out where you stand when someone finally sends a document.
Buyers have the mirror problem: quality deal flow is invisible, everything worth having is off-market, and searching means manual work through listings that are mostly stale. Both sides end up paying professionals to be the only ones who can see the whole picture.
The Deal Room
Where a conversation becomes an agreement.
When both sides sign an NDA, they enter a Deal Room. Every term is tracked separately and visibly. Red means open. Amber means countered. Green means both sides have explicitly agreed the same figure.
Beside the ledger, the Memorandum of Understanding assembles itself as terms go green. Terms not yet agreed appear as visible gaps rather than silent omissions — you can always see what is still missing.
- Four document tiers that unlock as the deal progresses
- Every view watermarked with the viewer’s name, logged, revocable instantly
- A private caucus the other side can never see — enforced at the database

Marcus · the AI Deal Broker
Marcus runs the negotiation.
He interviews both sides first
Why you are selling, your timeline, your red lines, what matters beyond price. He carries that into every room.
He turns a position into a proposal
Written, specific, on the table — and he rewrites hostile phrasing into something the other side can respond to, before it lands.
He keeps the agenda moving
He identifies which gaps are bridgeable, proposes the bridge, and chases the side that has gone quiet.
He talks with you privately
By voice or text, in your caucus. What you say to him there stays there.
He is neutral, and openly aligned with the deal completing.
Marcus does not take a side between buyer and seller. He does want the deal done. We say that plainly rather than claiming an impartiality no platform paid on completion could honestly claim.
He never invents a number.
Every figure Marcus uses comes from the deterministic valuation engine, or from a position one of you actually put on the table. That is enforced in code, not by instruction. And we are not pretending Marcus is a person.
Three Ways to Transact
Not every exit is a sale.
Origination
Most marketplaces wait for listings. We generate them.
A buyer tells Marcus what they are looking for — sector, size, region, what they will not touch. That becomes a targeted search across UK company data, qualified, and approached directly.
A business owner who was not thinking about selling hears from us, has a conversation, and enters a Deal Room with a funded buyer already waiting.
That machinery took years to build. It is why the platform does not depend on inbound traffic to work.
How we charge, and why
We are paid when you get paid.
Free
To list. No retainer, nothing to pay up front.
2%
On a sale. That is the whole fee.
Half / half
Half falls due on signing, half when the funds actually transfer.
If the deal does not complete, we have not earned anything. That is deliberate. An industry that charges retainers has no particular reason to care whether a deal closes.
What makes this different
The short answer.
The old way
- £5,000–£15,000 retainer before anything happens
- 3–5% success fee
- You find out where you stand when a document arrives
- Your broker holds the whole picture
- Nine to eighteen months, mostly silence
- Documents by email, no control once sent
- Buyer quality unknown until it is too late
