The asking price stays hidden until they've signed.
BizNest lists Main Street shops and SaaS companies side by side, gates full financials behind an e-signed NDA, and closes deals on bank-verified numbers instead of a seller's word for it.
Now enrolling founding sellers, buyers, and brokers ahead of launch. No cost to join the waitlist.
Regional HVAC Service Co.
One deal room, three very different jobs to do
Sellers
List a Main Street shop or a SaaS company in the same marketplace. Get entity and financial verification, an NDA wall in front of your numbers, and an AI assistant that writes and places your ads.
Buyers
Search verified listings, sign one NDA per deal, and see bank-connected financials instead of a spreadsheet someone typed up last spring. Proof-of-funds checks keep sellers' time protected too.
Brokers & franchisors
Run your book of listings under one login, or license the BizNest brand and platform in your own territory — the same playbook, built for a regional operator instead of a single office.
From first listing to a closed transfer, in four steps
List & get verified
Sellers create a listing and connect their business bank via Plaid and their entity records for a KYB check — so every listing carries a verification badge before a single buyer sees it.
Buyer signs the NDA
Interested buyers complete identity and proof-of-funds checks, then e-sign a confidentiality agreement on-platform. Only then does the full data room unlock.
Open the data room
Sellers upload financials, leases, and cap tables; buyers request documents and message the seller directly, all logged in one thread instead of a scattered email chain.
Close on-platform
Purchase funds route through escrow, closing documents are e-signed, and business bank access transfers to the new owner through Plaid — with BizNest's success fee settled at the same time.
Everything a deal needs, none of it in a shared inbox
NDA & e-signature
A standard confidentiality template — or your own — signed on-platform before a buyer can open a data room.
Entity & financial verification
Business-entity checks plus a read-only Plaid connection confirm a listing's bank activity matches what's claimed.
AI advertising assistant
Turns a listing's numbers and story into ad copy and creative, then places boosted placements and social campaigns.
Franchise marketplace
Browse new-unit and resale franchise opportunities with FDDs attached, alongside independent businesses.
Deal room & escrow-ready close
Documents, messages, and diligence requests in one thread, with closing funds routed through a licensed escrow partner.

Premium
For sellers who want a white-glove close.
A success fee only when you sell
BizNest plans to charge a 3–5% closing fee on deals sourced through the platform, collected through escrow at close — well below the industry-standard 8–12% brokerage commission.
Buyers browse and save listings for free. Unlock unlimited NDA requests and early access to new listings for $9/mo.
Two ways to grow with BizNest
Buy a franchise
Browse new-unit and resale franchise opportunities alongside independent listings. Every one links to a current Franchise Disclosure Document — always review it with independent legal and financial counsel before investing.
Franchise the platform
License the BizNest brand, technology, and playbook as a regional operator, running the local deal-room and broker network under the BizNest name.
Verification, not vibes
Entity checks and read-only Plaid bank connections back every verification badge — buyers see confirmed activity, not a screenshot.
Licensed where it counts
Where state law requires a real-estate or business-broker license to facilitate a sale, BizNest operates through licensed broker partners rather than around them.
Franchise Rule compliant
Franchise listings and territory offers follow the FTC Franchise Rule's disclosure requirements — an FDD comes before any fee changes hands.
