Founders can create accounts and list their companies anonymously, receiving inquiries from vetted buyers, including operating companies and investors backed by institutional capital. This system enables a competitive M&A process without the need for public advertising. Buyers gain access to proprietary deal flow, and founders benefit from flexible liquidity options provided by vetted financial buyers.

Non-Exclusivity and Privacy
Dealwise operates under a non-exclusivity model, meaning founders are not bound to any exclusivity agreement when using the platform. Privacy is a key component, and the company ensures that NDAs are signed with all parties involved. No identifying information about the companies listed is shared without explicit permission from the founders. This approach provides a secure and confidential environment for founders looking to sell their businesses.
