How it works

Five steps from “should I?” to sold.

Most sales take four to nine months. Here's exactly what happens, what you do, and what we do — in plain language.

  1. Step 01

    2 minutes

    Know your number

    Start with our free valuation. It shows a realistic price range and the few things that would push it higher. No documents, no sign-up.

    You
    Answer a few questions about sales, profit and how the business runs.
    Dynamic Legal
    Give you an honest range and explain how we got there.
  2. Step 02

    2–4 weeks

    Get buyer-ready

    The Buyer-Ready Score checks the eight things buyers look at first. We then help you tidy up the numbers and the story before anyone sees them.

    You
    Share your financial statements and answer our questions.
    Dynamic Legal
    Prepare a clear, honest summary of your business that buyers trust.
  3. Step 03

    4–10 weeks

    Meet the right buyers

    We approach a closed group of private investors and companies who can actually pay. Nobody learns your name until they've signed a confidentiality agreement.

    You
    Approve every buyer before they see anything about you.
    Dynamic Legal
    Find, screen and manage the buyers so you can keep running the business.
  4. Step 04

    6–12 weeks

    Agree the deal

    We put every offer on one page — price, when you get paid, what happens to your staff — so you can choose with confidence. Then the buyer checks your books.

    You
    Choose the offer that suits you and answer the buyer's questions.
    Dynamic Legal
    Negotiate the price and terms, and run the buyer's checks for you.
  5. Step 05

    2–4 weeks

    Get paid

    We take care of the paperwork with the lawyers and make sure the money moves safely. Your staff and customers are introduced to the new owner the way you agreed.

    You
    Sign the final agreement and help with a smooth handover.
    Dynamic Legal
    Manage the closing so nothing slips at the last minute.
