How it works
Three steps
You can stop after step one and still walk away with something useful — a defensible number for your business.
1
Get a free appraisal
An estimate of what your business would sell for. No account, no fee, no salesperson.
It takes minutes and you keep the number whether or not you ever list. Most owners have never seen a defensible figure for the thing they have spent a decade building — start there, before any decision about selling.

Create an AccountSave your instant valuation and unlock the owner workspace.
Choose how you sell — and change your mind later
Self-manage the saleRun it yourself. The owner workspace does the heavy lifting.
Engage a brokerHand it to a vetted specialist who knows your industry and your area.
You are never locked in — a local, industry-specialised broker can be engaged at ANY stage of your sale.
2
Fill out the valuation form
The same questions every serious buyer is going to ask you — answered once, up front.
This is worth doing even if you never need a formal valuation. The form asks what buyers ask: the earnings, the leases, the staff, what happens to the business without you. Answer it once and those answers sit in your listing — so the buyers the business was never going to suit rule themselves out before they reach your inbox, instead of after the fourth phone call. Don't want to type it? Ask for AI assistance and an agent interviews you instead — you talk, it fills in the form. Read back what it wrote before you accept it: it is quick and it is usually right, but it can misread you, and these are your numbers.
Turn it into a Formal ValuationComplete the guided questionnaire — a defensible, evidence-backed number.
Name your listing priceYou set the ask; the valuation keeps it grounded.

Engage Broker or Self Manage Sale
Engage a broker to run the sale, or list it yourself. Same listing either way.
You are not asked to decide this on day one, and you are not locked in. Owners who start on their own hand the deal to a broker all the time — usually once an offer turns into a negotiation.
Self-manage or engage a brokerRun the sale yourself, or hand it to a vetted broker at any point.

Step three
Broker-managed, or self-managed
Decide when you get there, not now — and change your mind later if the deal changes shape.
🤝
Engage a broker
They manage the sale and the transaction
A vetted broker takes the enquiries, the qualifying and the negotiation.
They run the transaction end to end — offer, due diligence, contract, settlement.
You stay the decision-maker; you stop being the switchboard.
Your appraisal and valuation come with you: the broker starts from your work, not a blank page.
🏷️
List it yourself
Self-manage, with the tooling that used to cost you a broker
Your listing goes live on the exchange in front of every buyer here.
A free built-in Virtual Data Room handles document security and helps you vet buyers.
Buyers sign an NDA before they see confidential material — the platform holds that line, not you.
Change your mind at any point and hand it to a broker.
🔒 Self-manage includes a free built-in Virtual Data Room that handles document security and helps you vet buyers.
Either way
What you get, broker or not
These are not the broker's features. They are the platform's, and they apply to every seller here.
📄
End-to-end paperless
Appraisal, valuation, listing, NDA, data room, offer, engagement — one thread, nothing printed, signed, scanned or posted.
Up to 80% less time
What once took 60–150 hours of an owner's life can take as little as 12–30. That is the best case, not a promise — but the whole design is aimed at it.
🛡️
Fewer tyre kickers
Buyers answer to your listing, not the other way round: the questions are pre-answered, the NDA is enforced, and the merely curious drop out early.
📈
Smoother and faster
Every party works from the same verified numbers and the same documents, so the deal stops stalling on "can you send that again".
⏱ "Up to 80% less time" is the best case, not an average: a paperless end-to-end sale on BizFlip can take as little as 12–30 hours of an owner's time where the traditional process runs 60–150. Your deal depends on your business, your buyer and your advisers.
Cost
What you pay
Listing on BizFlip is free. No listing fee, no subscription, no commission to us.
The appraisal is free and needs no account.
Self-managed sellers get the Virtual Data Room free too.
The only paid extras are AI credits and listing bumps — all opt-in, none of them needed to sell.
Before you start
The questions owners actually ask
Do I have to sell?
No. The appraisal is a number, not a commitment. Plenty of owners take it, look at it, and come back in two years.
Do I need an account to start?
Not for the appraisal. You only create one when you want to save it and carry on.
Is my business named publicly?
Not until you say so. Listings publish anonymised by default — buyers see the shape of the business, and the identity only after they sign the NDA.
What does listing cost?
Nothing. Free to list, free to stay listed.
Can I switch to a broker later?
Yes, at any point, and your valuation and documents go with you.
