M&A guide

    Confidential business sales and NDAs

    How we protect your identity and control the sharing of business information.

    No public business listing

    We work with a closed group of private investors we know personally rather than advertising your business publicly.

    An NDA before identification

    Your identity is not revealed until the relevant parties are under a strict non-disclosure agreement. Initial conversations can use an anonymous business summary.

    Share information in stages

    Provide only the information needed at each stage. Detailed financial, staff and customer information should be handled through controlled disclosure.

    Confidentiality has practical limits

    An NDA creates contractual obligations; it cannot guarantee that a breach never occurs. Employee consultation and other legally required disclosures must still be managed appropriately as a transaction progresses.
