Buying a business is an important decision: you are sure to do a lot of searching for the right business and you will have many questions.
We can help make your search easier and help match you with the best business to suit your budget and goals.
We'll share our business knowledge with you, guide you through the buying process and ensure a fair outcome for both you and the seller.
We want to make it easy for you to find out more about the businesses that interest you. That's why we've set up an easy online system where you can request a business profile.
This system also protects our business sellers, making sure that their financial information remains confidential.
Receiving a business profile is just 4 clicks away:
Once you have completed this process, you will receive an email back with a downloadable link which contains the business profile. In some instances, due to a higher confidentiality requirement, the profile will be sent to you manually; if this is the case you will receive the profile during our business hours.
