Two kinds of opportunities
Understanding the difference helps you know what you are looking at — and what trust you should place in each.
1. Public / attributed source results
- You open the opportunity at its original source
- BizAcquire attributes the result; we do not claim we verified the full listing
- Images on these cards may be representative and do not depict the advertised business
- Useful for market breadth
2. BizAcquire-reviewed opportunities
- Presented with a clearer operating picture
- Seller identity can remain confidential
- Buyer contact details are shared with a seller only after consent and screening
- Built for serious enquiry, not open-inbox messaging
What “reviewed” includes
When we call a listing BizAcquire-reviewed, we mean the opportunity is coherent and presentable enough for serious buyers to evaluate fit. That typically covers:
- Business description is clear and not misleading on its face
- Key commercial points are stated at an agreed level of detail
- Seller confidentiality preferences are respected
- Enquiry and intro rules are set before buyer interest is passed across
What reviewed does not mean
- Not a guarantee of sale
- Not a full audit, valuation or legal due diligence
- Not an endorsement that every figure has been independently verified to investment-bank standard
- Not a substitute for your own advisors when you proceed
How buyer screening works
- Buyer submits an enquiry with context
- BizAcquire screens for seriousness and basic fit
- Seller consent is obtained before contact details are shared
- Seller chooses which approved enquiries to pursue
FAQs
Can a public source result become a reviewed listing?
Sometimes. If a seller chooses to list directly with BizAcquire, we can move that opportunity into the reviewed flow.
Do I need a broker mandate to list as reviewed?
No. Reviewed listings are for owners who want confidential listing and screened intros.
As a buyer, should I only look at reviewed listings?
Look at both. Use public results for coverage; use reviewed listings when you want a clearer operating picture and a structured intro path.
As a seller, must I appear publicly?
No. Confidential listing is designed so your identity is not published as part of marketing the opportunity.
