About BizExit.lk

Helping Sri Lankan Business Owners Sell Their Business Properly

BizExit.lk works with Sri Lankan business owners who want to sell their business — and want to do it the right way.

For most owners, selling a business is a once-in-a-lifetime decision. It’s not always clear when to sell, how much the business is really worth, or whether buyer interest will lead to a serious, well-negotiated offer. Without experience, it’s easy to make decisions that reduce value, weaken negotiation, or delay the sale longer than necessary.

BizExit.lk was created to help owners avoid those mistakes.

We help owners approach selling with clarity, realistic expectations, and a clear plan, so the business is properly prepared, well positioned, and presented to the right buyers. The goal is simple: help owners complete a business sale that makes sense financially and feels worth the years they put into building it.

What We Do

BizExit.lk helps Sri Lankan business owners sell their business.
That’s the job.

Some owners reach a point where they want to move on — retirement, a change in plans, a partner exit, or simply the right time to step away. Selling a business, however, is not something most owners have done before, and there is no clear, standard way to do it properly in Sri Lanka.

BizExit.lk exists to guide that process from start to finish.

BizExit.lk was founded by people who have spent years working with Sri Lankan SMEs, buyers, and business owners. After seeing how many good businesses struggled to exit properly — often under-valued, poorly positioned, or negotiated without structure — we decided to build a more reliable and professional way to do it.

We work directly with business owners to understand what the business is, how it runs, and how it makes money. We then help organise the information buyers usually want to see — such as revenue and profit estimates, expenses, staff, rent or lease details, assets, suppliers, customers, and day-to-day operations. The aim is not perfection, but clarity and credibility.

This preparation is critical not just for attracting buyers, but for supporting realistic valuation and stronger negotiation.

Once the business is ready, we look for suitable buyers from our vetted buyer network. Buyers are screened so that discussions are meaningful and focused. Initial conversations stay high-level. More detailed information is shared gradually, only when there is real interest and only with the owner’s approval.

BizExit.lk does not operate as a public listing website or open marketplace. Businesses are not posted online or advertised widely. Each sale is handled one at a time, with a clear process, structured discussions, and a defined path toward negotiation and handover.

We work with small and medium-sized businesses across Sri Lanka, including retail, restaurants and cafés, services, manufacturing, distribution, hospitality, franchises, and online businesses. Buyers include local business owners, investors, professionals, and Sri Lankan expats.

There are no upfront charges. Owners pay a success fee only if the business is sold.

If you own a business in Sri Lanka and are thinking about selling, BizExit.lk provides a straightforward way to prepare properly, reach the right buyers, and complete the sale in a structured, value-focused manner.

The Problem We Saw

Before BizExit.lk, business owners in Sri Lanka had very limited options:

  • Public listings that attract unnecessary attention

  • Agents who broadcast your sale to anyone who asks

  • Curious people wanting information “just to see”

  • Buyers who disappear when deeper talks begin

  • Confusion about what information to prepare

  • No structured process or negotiation guidance

  • No buyer filtering

  • No support during handover

The result?
Owners feel stuck, unsure where to start, and uncertain how to protect both their business and its value.

We built BizExit.lk to provide the solution.

Our Approach

Our method is built specifically for Sri Lankan SMEs and is based on:

Clarity

Understanding how buyers assess businesses and what truly drives value.

Structure

Guiding the journey from inquiry → preparation → buyer matching → negotiation → agreement → handover.

Readiness

Organising information so the business can be clearly understood, evaluated, and negotiated.

Quality over Quantity
Introducing only serious, suitable buyers — not random callers.

Value Protection
Positioning the business to support fair valuation and disciplined negotiation.

Support
You never deal with buyers alone. We coordinate discussions and help prevent costly missteps.
