Why bizflip
Why deals move faster here
Every fact has a source.
Every KPI on every listing shows where it came from. You decide what to trust — before you spend a minute on a call.
End-to-end paperless — a fully automated system, made easy.
NDAs, documents, due diligence requests — automated flow with seller-controlled access. No email chains. No chasing.
Serious people only.
Verified buyers, 2-click enquiries, built-in screening. Less time on tire-kickers, more time on real deals.
Free to use.
Listing your business costs nothing and browsing costs nothing — that is the product, not an introductory offer. Only optional extras are ever charged.
Founding market
The UK market is open — and early
The UK market is newly open, so local inventory is still small — which cuts both ways: buyers see every new UK listing, and founding sellers get the whole market’s attention. Listing is free.
Selling in the United Kingdom
What’s different here
The parts of a UK sale that are genuinely local — worth knowing before you list, and worth checking with your own adviser before you sign.
- Business Asset Disposal Relief still matters — at its new rate.Qualifying disposals of a trading business can be taxed at the Business Asset Disposal Relief rate — 18% for disposals from April 2026 (it was 14% the year before) — on gains up to the £1 million lifetime limit. The qualifying conditions run on your circumstances for the two years before the sale, so the time to check them is before you list.
- TUPE moves your staff with the business.On a UK business transfer, employees generally move to the buyer automatically on their existing terms under TUPE, with information and consultation duties on both sides. Buyers price this in — sellers who prepare for it keep deals moving.
- Here it’s a business transfer agent, and the fee models differ.The UK trade calls them business transfer agents, and engagement terms — upfront marketing fees versus success-only — vary more than in other markets. bizflip is free either way: agents keep their clients, and the platform does the paperwork.
