Sell Ltd
The AI-First Business Selling Platform.
AI-driven business valuation, sale preparation and buyer research for founder-led UK companies — with every document and external action kept under the seller's control.
The Problem
Selling a Business Is Still Broken.
Most founders sell their company once. They walk into a market designed around the broker — opaque fees, guessed valuations, slow processes and buyers filtered through relationships, not fit. The result is under-priced exits, stalled deals and life-changing decisions made on incomplete information.
Guessed Valuations
Brokers price on gut, comps and commission incentives — not structured financial and market intelligence.
Opaque Fees
8–12% success fees, retainers and hidden add-ons erode the seller's outcome with no transparency.
Slow, Manual Process
IMs, teasers, NDAs and buyer outreach take months of email, calls and spreadsheets.
Weak Buyer Matching
Deals flow through a broker's rolodex, not the actual universe of qualified acquirers.
Founder in the Dark
No live pipeline, no analytics, no visibility into who's looking, why they passed or what buyers really want.
Marketplaces Are Listings
BusinessesForSale and equivalents are classified ads. No intelligence, no matching, no execution.
Product
A Business-Selling Engine.
Sell Ltd transforms sale preparation from an opaque broker-led process into a structured workspace. Research the company, explore an indicative valuation, prepare the IM and manage the seller's next steps with clear review points.
AI Valuation Engine
Multi-method valuations (DCF, EBITDA multiple, SDE, precedent transactions) grounded in the company's real financials and live sector benchmarks.
Owner Survey → IM Draft
Chris, the AI deal adviser, interviews the founder and turns the confirmed answers into draft Information Memorandum sections for the owner to review and edit.
Buyer Intelligence Network
Structured buyer graph across strategic acquirers, PE, search funds and HNW individuals — matched by sector, thesis, ticket size and geography.
Deal Room Automation
NDAs, teasers, IMs, Q&A, data room access and buyer scoring — all handled inside the platform with a full audit trail.
Live Pipeline & Analytics
The seller sees exactly which buyers are engaged, what they've read, where they've dropped off and how the deal is progressing in real time.
Transparent, Flat Economics
No 10% success fees. A structured platform model that keeps the value with the founder.
Process
How It Works
Value the Business
Upload financials and connect data sources. The valuation engine produces a defensible range across multiple methods, benchmarked against live sector comps.
Answer, and Chris Drafts the IM
A guided owner survey captures strategy, customers, concentration, growth levers and risks. Chris drafts Information Memorandum sections for the founder to review, edit and approve before sharing.
Match Qualified Buyers
The buyer intelligence engine surfaces the acquirers most likely to transact — filtered by strategic fit, financial capacity and thesis alignment, not broker relationships.
Run the Deal in One Room
Teasers, NDAs, IM access, Q&A threads, data room permissions and buyer scoring — all executed inside the platform with full audit trail.
Close With Full Visibility
Live analytics on buyer engagement, offer comparisons and negotiation status keep the founder in control from first outreach to signed SPA.
Infrastructure
Deal Execution
Infrastructure.
Sell Ltd is not a listings site. Not a broker in a browser. Not a valuation calculator.
It is a structured business-selling operating system — an AI-native execution layer that replaces the traditional broker with software, data and intelligence.
Built For
Founders Ready to Exit.
SME Founders (£1M–£50M)
The under-served core of the market. Too small for investment banks, too valuable to hand to a high-street broker.
Agency & Services Owners
Recurring-revenue businesses where narrative, client concentration and service mix shape an indicative valuation and sale preparation.
SaaS & Digital Businesses
ARR, retention and growth motion translated into buyer-ready metrics and matched to strategic and PE acquirers.
E-commerce & DTC Brands
Structured intelligence on margin, channel mix and defensibility — matched to aggregators and strategic buyers.
Succession & Retirement Sales
Owner-managed businesses where a broker's fee would consume a decade of dividends.
Portfolio Divestments
Groups and holdcos disposing of non-core assets with speed, structure and discretion.

Category Shift
Why AI-First Business Selling Wins.
Structurally cheaper. Structurally faster. Structurally better matched. Structurally more transparent — than every incumbent model.
Traditional brokers monetise information asymmetry. They know the buyers, they control the process, they price the fee. Sell Ltd collapses that asymmetry — the founder gets the buyer graph, the valuation engine and the deal room directly.
Marketplaces (BusinessesForSale, Daltons, Flippa at the low end) are classified ads. They list. They do not value, match, negotiate or execute. Sell Ltd is the execution layer they never built.
Investment banks work at £50M+ because their process is expensive and human. Sell Ltd brings that same structural rigour — valuation, IM, buyer matching, deal room — down to the SME segment where 95% of exits actually happen.
