FAQs

NDAs, confidentiality and timing.

When does a buyer sign an NDA?

After they express interest in a specific opportunity and before any identifying detail or information pack is released. No exceptions.

Who drafts the NDA?

We provide a standard mutual NDA used across the platform, reviewed by UK counsel. Sellers can request bespoke terms for particularly sensitive deals.

What happens if a buyer breaches the NDA?

Standard legal remedies apply and are enforceable in the English courts. We also permanently remove offending buyers from the platform and notify the affected seller immediately.

Will my staff, customers or competitors find out I'm selling?

No. Pre-NDA teasers never include your business name, exact location, client list or staff details — only sector, size band, region and an anonymised story you approve.

Can I block specific buyers or competitors from ever seeing my listing?

Yes. You can name blocked companies or individuals during listing setup and add more at any time. Blocked parties never see your teaser, let alone your identity.

Who at MyBusinessAcquisitions.com sees my full details?

Only the deal team assigned to your listing. Access is role-gated, logged, and reviewed. Nothing sits on shared drives or unrestricted inboxes.

How long from listing to first matched buyer?

Typically 2–6 weeks once your listing is live and approved, depending on sector and deal size. AI-matched buyer introductions go live September 2026; early listings get first access.

How long does a full transaction take?

Most complete in 90–180 days from valuation to signing. Regulated sectors — for example FCA-authorised firms — usually take longer due to permissions and change-of-control approvals.

What if I'm not ready to sell yet?

Start with the free valuation and keep your listing in draft. There's no obligation, no upfront cost, and no clock. We only earn when you complete a transaction.

Ready when you are

List your business, register as a buyer, or book a confidential callback — no commitment either way.
