Why Dealogy

One connected journey, from first thoughts to life after the sale

Preparation, valuation, buyers, confidentiality, enquiries, negotiation, due diligence, advisers and completion are usually run in separate places, by separate people, from separate documents. Here they are stages of one process, and each stage carries its information into the next.

Understand and value

Learn what drives value in a business like yours, and see an indicative range built from published sector multiples and your own normalised earnings.

  • Value drivers named, not implied
  • Every figure shows its arithmetic
  • Indicative analysis, not a professional valuation

Prepare and present

Identify what is missing before a buyer does, then turn approved information into a teaser, a listing and an information memorandum.

  • Readiness assessed across financial, legal and commercial evidence
  • Upload once, reuse everywhere
  • You approve every document before it exists to anyone else

Market and match

Reach buyers whose stated criteria fit the business, and see the reasoning behind each match rather than a number on its own.

  • Identity, intent and funding checked before disclosure
  • Confidentiality controls at every stage
  • Alignment on people and intentions, alongside the financials

Negotiate and complete

Compare offers on the whole deal, coordinate diligence, manage advisers and keep the actions, owners and dates in one place.

  • Offers normalised into a comparable structure
  • Diligence requests matched to the documents you hold
  • Outstanding actions, owners and dates always visible
The selling journey

Eleven stages, and you can start at any of them

Most owners arrive somewhere in the middle. Dealogy meets you at the stage you are actually at, and the work you do at each one is reused by the next.

How a sale works, what buyers look for, and what the process asks of you.

An indicative range from published sector multiples and your own adjusted earnings.

3

Accounts, contracts, people, property and IP gathered once, in one place.

Earn-outs, deferred consideration, handover commitments and what comes next for you.

Thinking about it, rather than doing it

Start before you are ready

The most useful work happens long before a business goes to market, and none of it commits you to selling. Nothing on this page requires you to list, and nothing you enter is visible to a buyer until you decide it is.

Timing

Understand what usually has to be true before a sale runs well, and how long each stage tends to take.

Value expectations

See the range a business like yours currently attracts, and the specific factors that move it up or down.

The value gap

The distance between what you hope for and what the evidence supports today, named while there is still time to close it.

What buyers expect

The information a buyer will ask for, in the order they will ask for it.

Routes to market

Sell it yourself, appoint a broker, or bring your existing advisers in. The choice stays open.

Get sale ready

Your seller workspace

One view of readiness, indicative value, buyer quality, documents, offers, risks and the next action. Upload information once and Dealogy identifies what is still missing, then builds the preparation plan around it.

Dealogy recommendation

Owner dependency is costing this business more than anything else on the list. Name a second person who owns revenue, and evidence that they hold the relationships.

Dealogy proposes. You approve.Nothing goes out, and nothing is disclosed, until a human says so. That is a rule in the code, not a promise in the copy.
Prepare properly

The four things worth doing before a buyer sees anything

Each one produces something you keep: a value range you can argue for, an evidence list, a set of sale materials, and a shortlist of buyers who fit.

Understand your potential value

An indicative range with the value drivers behind it, so you can see which of them are worth working on.

  • Adjusted earnings, with add-backs evidenced
  • Published sector multiples, cited
  • Indicative only, and not a professional valuation

Check your sale readiness

A structured assessment across financial, commercial, legal and owner-dependency factors, and a preparation plan in priority order.

  • Scored on the evidence you hold, not on a guess
  • Names the largest issue first
  • Becomes your document checklist

Create your listing

An anonymous teaser, the full listing, the highlights and the buyer criteria, drafted from your own information and released on your instruction.

  • Anonymous by default
  • You approve before anything is published
  • Confidentiality level set per stage

Buyer matching

Relevant buyers identified from stated criteria, funding position and intentions, with the reasoning shown alongside each one.

  • Why it matched, and why something did not
  • Alignment on people and intentions included
  • A match is a conversation worth having, not a guarantee of one
Enquiry management

Every enquiry, in one line each, with its evidence

From first enquiry through qualification, NDA, meeting, offer, heads of terms, diligence, legal and completion. You see who is circling and what they have actually provided, and they see only what you have released.

Running the transaction

The work between an offer and a completion

This is the part of a sale that consumes the most time and where most deals stall. Dealogy prepares the work and tracks it; the decisions stay with you and your advisers.

Confidentiality and the deal room

Progressive permissions, NDAs and a secure workspace, so information is released deliberately rather than by default.

  • Teaser first, names later, numbers after an NDA
  • Access revocable at any point
  • Every release recorded

AI assistance

Summaries, gap identification, plain-English explanation of documents and tracking of what remains outstanding.

  • Prepares the work, never sends it
  • Explains, and does not advise
  • Nothing material happens without your confirmation

Offers and negotiation

Compare price alongside payment structure, conditionality, funding certainty, timing and what is being asked of you after completion.

  • Offers normalised side by side
  • Conditions and their consequences made explicit
  • Questions prepared for your adviser

Heads of terms

A guided workflow and templates, with a structured handoff to the solicitor who will draft the binding documents.

  • Templates, not legal advice
  • What is binding and what is not, stated
  • Your adviser picks it up with the context intact

Due diligence

Financial, legal, commercial, tax, employee, customer, supplier, property, IP, technology and operational requests, organised and tracked.

  • Requests matched to documents you already uploaded
  • Outstanding items visible to both sides
  • Nothing asked for twice

Advisers and professionals

Invite your broker, solicitor, accountant, tax adviser or diligence specialist into the deal, with the access level you choose.

  • Bring your existing advisers, or find new ones
  • Per-person permissions
  • One shared record of the transaction

Legal and completion

Documents organised around the share or asset purchase agreement, disclosure and the completion checklist.

  • Everything in one place at the point it is needed
  • Plain-English summaries for you, drafting for your solicitor
  • Conditions tracked to satisfied

Keep the deal moving

Actions, owners, deadlines, reminders, missing documents and the next step, reported as facts rather than as a prediction.

  • What is done and what is outstanding
  • Who holds the next action
  • No estimate of whether a deal will complete
What this is for

Save time. Save energy. Control costs. Protect value.

A sale is won or lost on preparation, buyer quality and evidence. Everything on this page exists to improve one of those four things.

Save time

Information entered once, documents drafted from your own figures, requests matched automatically to what you have already provided.

Save energy

Enquiries qualified before they reach you, and the chasing, reminders and follow-ups handled around you.

Control costs

Your advisers arrive at an organised deal rather than building one, and you choose which parts of the process to pay for.

Protect value

The issues that get a business priced down are found by you first, with time to fix them.

Where Dealogy is today

Real numbers, counted this second

We have not been running long enough to quote completion statistics, so we do not quote any. These are counted live from the platform as this page loaded, and the deal figures belong to the partner firms who declare them.

After completion

The sale does not end on completion day

Most business sales carry obligations past the day the money moves: an earn-out to evidence, deferred consideration to collect, a handover to deliver, warranties that stay live, and sometimes a retained shareholding to manage. Those commitments stay in the same workspace as the deal that created them, with the dates, owners and evidence attached.

Intelligent support. Human decisions. Dealogy prepares work, organises information and explains documents. It does not value your business, advise you, or act without your confirmation, and it does not replace qualified legal, tax, accounting or regulated financial advice.

  • Earn-out targets, and the evidence each one needs
  • Deferred consideration dates and amounts
  • Handover commitments and the period they run for
  • Warranty periods, and what they still expose you to
  • Retained investments and post-completion actions
FAQ

Selling your business: common questions

Do I have to list my business to use any of this?
No. Valuation, readiness and the preparation plan work without a listing, and nothing you enter is visible to a buyer until you publish it. Plenty of owners use the platform for a year before going to market, and some decide not to sell at all.
Is the valuation a professional valuation?
No. It is an indicative range built from published sector multiples and your own adjusted earnings, with the arithmetic shown so you can check it. A formal valuation for a transaction, tax or a dispute needs a qualified valuer, and the range is a starting point for that conversation rather than a substitute for it.
How is my confidentiality protected?
The listing is anonymous by default. Buyers see a teaser first, identifying detail only if you release it, and financial detail only after an NDA. Every release is a decision you make, access can be withdrawn, and each disclosure is recorded.
Can I keep my own broker, solicitor or accountant?
Yes. Invite them into the deal with the access level you choose. They see the transaction as it stands rather than a folder of attachments, which usually reduces what you are billed for assembling it.
What does it cost?
Preparation, valuation and readiness are free to use. Pricing for listing and the transaction tools is being finalised and will be published before anything is charged.
What does the AI actually do?
It reads what you provide, drafts documents from it, identifies what is missing, explains terms in plain English and keeps track of outstanding actions. It does not send communications, publish anything, release information or accept terms. Those all require your confirmation, and material actions are logged.
How long does selling a business take?
It varies by business, sector and how prepared the seller is, and the honest answer is that we will not put a number on your sale. Preparation is the part you control, and it is the part that most often decides whether a deal survives diligence.

Start privately. Move at your own pace.

Begin with a sentence about your business. You will see an indicative range, what a buyer would question, and which evidence you are missing. There is no obligation to list, and no account until you want to keep the work.

Indicative analysis, not professional valuation advice. Dealogy does not provide legal, tax or regulated financial advice, and important decisions remain with you and your advisers.
