How SellMyBiz works
From free valuation to closed deal — without paying a broker $50,000–$100,000 in commission.
From valuation to sold
Get a free valuation
Use our valuation calculator to see what your business is worth. Takes 3 minutes. No account required. When you create an account, your result is saved and pre-fills your listing.
See buyer demand — instantly
The moment you create an account, you see exactly how many verified buyers are actively searching for businesses like yours in your state. Specific numbers, no hype. This is free.
Choose your listing path
Three options — no pressure. Just watching: monitor demand, no listing. Private listing: matched with buyers without appearing in search. Public listing: full visibility.
Your listing goes live
Pay once with Stripe. Our team reviews within a few hours and your listing goes live. You get an email + SMS confirmation. For Full Service, we write the listing for you.
A buyer expresses interest
When a buyer clicks "Express Interest," you receive an SMS + email with their full profile: who they are, acquisition thesis, proof of funds tier, and their message to you. You decide to accept or decline.
You accept — conversation opens
If you accept, a private conversation thread opens. Your real email stays hidden. All messages go through a relay. You reply by email like normal — no app required.
NDA signed, documents unlocked
When a buyer signs the NDA in the platform, your P&L and tax returns become accessible to them. Every access is logged. You always know who has seen what.
You close the deal
You negotiate and close directly with the buyer. No intermediary takes a cut. When you mark your listing as sold, your subscription auto-cancels.

How to find and engage sellers
Sign up and post your criteria
Tell us what you're looking for: industry, states, budget, revenue range, timeline. This is your acquisition profile — it's what sellers see as the demand signal.
Complete your profile
Add your acquisition thesis (why you're buying, what you bring) and proof of funds tier. Complete profiles surface to more sellers. Incomplete profiles surface to fewer.
Browse and express interest
Browse listings matching your criteria. When you find one, click "Express Interest" — you write a brief message explaining your interest. The seller receives your full profile and decides whether to engage.
Wait for the seller
Sellers initiate contact. You cannot force communication. If a seller accepts, a conversation thread opens and they send the first reply. If they decline or don't respond in 7 days, you're notified politely.
You control who sees your business
Your name stays hidden by default
Anonymous listings show only industry, city, and state. Sellers control exactly when and to whom their identity is revealed.
Your contact info is never shared automatically
Email and phone are only visible if you explicitly share them in a message. The relay system masks your real email.
Every document access is logged
You see exactly who downloaded your P&L and when. Nothing is shared without an NDA on file.
You can pause or cancel anytime
Hide your listing from browse without cancelling. Cancel in two clicks, no friction. Your data isn't deleted — you can reactivate.
