Problem
Small business owners often lack clear guidance on how to determine their company's value and face high broker commissions when attempting to sell, which can erode proceeds and reduce control over the sale process.
Solution
NextPhase offers an online platform that provides an instant, free valuation based on a brief questionnaire, then guides owners through preparing a confidential information memorandum and verifying financials. The service encrypts uploaded data, builds a buyer-ready package, and subjects it to expert review before listing. Qualified, NDA‑bound buyers are matched to the listing within an encrypted marketplace, allowing sellers to retain full control over disclosures and negotiation. The platform charges a flat monthly fee only when the listing is active, eliminating the typical 8‑12% broker commission and enabling owners to manage the sale on their terms.
Target Audience
Primary customers are owners of small to mid‑size businesses seeking to sell without incurring broker fees and who prefer to maintain control over the transaction process.
