Trust & safety

Trust, built into every step

Buying or selling a business means sharing sensitive information with strangers. We've designed the entire process so that trust is established before anything private is revealed — and a real team is with you throughout.

Three-layer disclosure

Information is revealed gradually, as trust grows

Nothing identifying is ever public. Each layer unlocks only when the right conditions are met — and the seller stays in control.

Layer 1 · Public

Anonymised teaser

Anyone can browse sector, region and a price band. No business name, no exact figures, no identifying detail.

Layer 2 · Qualified buyer

Verified detail

Once a buyer verifies their identity and signs the NDA, the full description, financials and identity are revealed — for that listing only.

Layer 3 · Deal room

Private data-room

Sensitive documents are shared inside a private, NDA-bound deal room — watermarked with the viewer's name and logged on every view.

Verification

Who's on the other side — checked, not assumed

Seller ownership

We verify a seller genuinely owns the business — including a live Companies House check for registered companies — before it can be published.

Buyer identity

Buyers complete identity verification before they can unlock any listing, so sellers deal only with real, accountable people.

A dedicated deal team

Every enquiry and deal is guided and overseen by a named advisor, so both sides stay accountable from first message to completion.

NDAs as standard — not an afterthought

Before any buyer sees a seller's identity or financials, they sign a non-disclosure agreement specific to that listing. The signature, version and timestamp are recorded as an immutable part of the deal record, with a non-circumvention commitment that protects sellers from being bypassed.
