Frequently asked questions

No. Your business is never listed and never named in any approach. Buyers see an anonymised profile under a project codename, and no counterparty learns who you are, where you are, or what you earn until they have cleared every buyer gate, including identification, an NDA, and proof of funds.

We normalise your seller discretionary earnings from your VAT returns, bank statements, and payroll records, cross-checked against each other, then set a multiple with comparable UAE transaction support and test the result against the 25 to 35 percent cash yield a serious buyer will underwrite against. You receive a written range with an asset floor and the reasoning behind it, usually in 48 to 72 hours once your figures are with us.

We do not publish fee amounts because every engagement is scoped to the business in front of us. Fees for a valuation or a mandate are fixed in writing before any work begins, and the first conversation is free, confidential, and carries no obligation.

It depends on the business and the buyer pool, and we do not attach a number to something we cannot control. What we can control is the front end: a written valuation in 48 to 72 hours and an exclusive mandate signed by every shareholder before any marketing starts, so the clock only really runs once the business is genuinely ready.

UAE-based acquirers, family offices, consolidators, and operators who have cleared our six-gate qualification: intake, NDA plus identification, proof of funds, a track record question, a decision map, then a meeting. Deals in this range are cash-heavy, and post-dated cheques are commonly used as deferred security rather than left on trust.

Multiple brokers means multiple people circulating your business, and circulation is the opposite of confidentiality. One exclusive mandate means one accountable advisor, one buyer list built to a single standard, and no risk of two intermediaries approaching the same buyer with different numbers, which damages price and trust in a small market.

Trade license transfer and visa cancellation or transfer are handled by your corporate service provider and immigration counsel as part of completion. We build the completion timetable so those steps sit in the right order, but licensing and immigration rules vary by free zone or mainland authority and change over time, so we are not a substitute for your own licensed legal and immigration advice on the specifics.

The buyer's counsel tests the same VAT returns, bank statements, and payroll records we underwrote at the start of the mandate. Because that triangle was checked before the mandate was signed, diligence tends to confirm the number rather than erode it, and we manage the timetable so it does not drift.

That is a complete engagement on its own. You receive the same written range, reasoning, and asset floor as the first stage of a sale mandate, with no obligation to go further. Many owners use it to plan an exit years in advance or to settle a position with a co-shareholder.
