Do I need experience selling a business to use this?

No. Built Equity was designed for first-time sellers. The platform breaks the entire process into structured phases with checklists, templates, and guidance at every step. You complete a questionnaire, the platform generates your CIM. You approve a buyer, the platform handles the NDA. Every step is guided.

How is this different from hiring a business broker?

A broker takes over the process and charges 8–12% of your sale price. Built Equity gives you the same tools and structure — CIM generation, buyer management, NDA workflows, due diligence organization — but you stay in control and pay a flat fee instead of a six-figure commission.

What kind of businesses is this designed for?

Built Equity is built for Main Street and lower middle-market businesses valued between $500K and $10M. Service businesses, manufacturing, franchises, professional practices, e-commerce — any established business with financials and a buyer market.

How long does the process take?

Preparation (building your CIM and financials) typically takes 1–2 weeks. The full sale cycle — from listing to close — averages 3–9 months, which is comparable to broker-assisted sales. The platform keeps things moving with structured phases and clear next steps.

What if I get stuck or need help?

You have direct access to our support team for platform questions. For specialized needs — legal, tax, valuation — we connect you with trusted professionals from our advisor network. You also keep your own CPA and attorney involved throughout.

Is my business information kept confidential?

Absolutely. Your listing uses a blind teaser — no business name or identifying details. Buyers must verify their email, complete a screening questionnaire, and sign an NDA before seeing any confidential information. You approve every access request personally.

What does the flat fee include?

Everything: financial recast and SDE calculator, professional CIM and teaser generation, confidential listing page, buyer NDA workflow, buyer screening and communication tools, due diligence document vault, offer management, closing document assembly, and 12 months of platform access. Plus a 30-day money-back guarantee.

The Real Challenge

Most Business Sales Fail — Not Because of Bad Businesses

They fail because owners don’t have a system to manage the complexity.

Without a Structured Process

Financials aren’t presented in buyer-ready format
No CIM — buyers don’t take the listing seriously
Confidentiality leaks because there’s no NDA workflow
Tire-kickers waste weeks of your time
Offers come in but you don’t know how to evaluate them
Due diligence drags on with no organization
Deals fall apart at the finish line

Professional CIM built from a structured questionnaire
Automated NDA — buyers sign before seeing details

Side-by-side offer comparison with term templates
Secure document vault keeps diligence on track

Your Roadmap

Five Phases From Preparation to Close

Each phase has clear deliverables, checklists, and templates. You always know what to do next.

Prepare Your Business

Upload tax returns or enter financials manually. The platform calculates your SDE, EBITDA, and addbacks automatically — then generates a professional CIM and blind teaser from your inputs.

Your recast financials and CIM are the foundation of a credible sale. Buyers judge professionalism in the first 30 seconds.

Go to Market Confidentially

Publish a confidential listing with a blind teaser that protects your identity. Get step-by-step guidance on where to post — BizBuySell, BizQuest, LinkedIn, industry networks.

Your business name is never exposed. Buyers see only a summary until they pass screening and sign an NDA.

Screen & Engage Buyers

Buyers verify their email, complete a qualification questionnaire, and sign an NDA — all automated. You review each profile and decide who gets access to your CIM.

No tire-kickers. No unqualified inquiries. Every buyer earns access through a structured workflow you control.

Negotiate the Deal

Capture offers, compare terms side by side, and use LOI templates to structure the deal. Communicate directly with buyers — no middleman filtering your conversations.

You see every offer, talk to every buyer, and make every decision. That’s how it should be.

Close With Confidence

Organize due diligence documents in a secure vault, assemble closing packages, and hand off to your attorney for a clean close.

The platform provides the structure. Your attorney handles the legal. You walk away with your proceeds — and your equity.
