Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about buying and selling a business on BuyMyVenture.
Selling a business
What does it cost to list a business for sale?
A listing costs ₹1,000/month, and you can cancel any time — no lock-in. A 7% success fee is only due when a deal actually closes.
How does confidentiality work when I list my business?
Your business is listed confidentially. Buyers first see a teaser and profile without your identity — you approve every NDA yourself and choose exactly who gets to see your full numbers.
What is the seller NDA?
Before a buyer can see your protected financial details, they sign a Confidentiality, Non-Circumvention & Fee Protection Agreement specific to your listing.
Are listings verified before they go live?
Yes. Every listing is reviewed before it's published and visible to buyers.
How long does it take to sell a business?
Typically four stages: valuing and preparing your business (1–4 weeks), listing it confidentially (2–3 days), meeting the right buyers (4–8 weeks), and closing (6–12 weeks) — though every deal moves at its own pace.
What is an escrow holdback?
In many deals, a portion of the price — commonly around 15% — is held back for 6–12 months against post-closing claims, rather than paid out entirely at closing.
Buying a business
How does buying a business work?
Tell us what you're after — sector, size, location (about a day) — then review matched, verified listings (1–2 weeks). Once you sign the NDA for a listing, you talk to the seller directly (2–4 weeks), and we stay with you from LOI through diligence to closing (4–8 weeks).
Can I see a seller's identity before signing anything?
No — a seller's identity and full financials stay protected until you sign the NDA for that specific listing. Before that, you see a teaser and profile.
What happens after I submit a Letter of Intent (LOI)?
From LOI to final offer, BuyMyVenture stays with you through diligence and closing.
Support during a deal
Who supports me through the deal?
Every transaction is supported by a panel of specialists: transaction advisors who guide the deal from first conversation to signature, chartered accountants who review the financials, legal counsel who structure agreements to protect both sides, and a valuation panel that builds the numbers behind every estimate.
