Our Selling Process
A Clear, Structured Path From Inquiry to Handover
Selling a business is a major decision — and the process should never feel confusing or unpredictable. BizExit.lk follows a structured, step-by-step method designed specifically for Sri Lankan business owners who want a proper, organised, and well-managed exit.
Below is exactly how we guide you from the first conversation to the final handover.
Step 01
You Start Your Inquiry
Everything begins with a simple inquiry form.
We ask only for the basics:
what type of business you run
where it’s located
how long you’ve been operating
approximate scale of the business
No documents are required at this stage.
Step 02
One-to-One Discussion
Next, we call or WhatsApp you for a short conversation.
This is a calm, pressure-free discussion where we learn about:
your business operations
your numbers in simple terms
your reason for selling
your timeline
your expectations
We also explain the overall process and answer any questions you may have.
You don’t need to make any decisions during this step.
Step 03
Preparing the Right Information
You don’t need perfect paperwork. Most Sri Lankan SMEs don’t — and that’s normal.
We help you organise what you already have:
approximate monthly revenue
approximate monthly profit
expense ranges
staff list and roles
rent or lease details
equipment and assets
supplier list
customer types
daily operations overview
We also guide you on:
which details matter most to buyers
what can be shared at early stages
what should wait until later
how to structure your numbers clearly
what pricing expectations are realistic
If your business looks suitable for buyer matching and your expectations are aligned with the market, we move to the next step.
Step 04
Readiness Check & Pre-Matching Preparation
Before approaching buyers, we make sure that:
your expectations are practical and market-aligned
your business fits current buyer requirements
your information is clear enough for serious discussions
you are comfortable with the next steps
Step 05
Matching With Serious Buyers
We compare your business with our private network of vetted buyers — individuals and groups already screened for financial capability, seriousness, and genuine intent to acquire.
When there is a potential match:
High-level information is shared first
Interested buyers sign an NDA
Additional details are shared only with your approval
Calls or meetings are arranged when you are ready
Visits are scheduled carefully to minimise attention
Step 06
Negotiation, Agreements & Handover Planning
When both sides wish to proceed, the process becomes more structured.
This stage may include:
deeper buyer questions
a visit to the business (if you choose)
an offer or letter of intent
negotiation of price and terms
review of financial and operational details
preparation of legal agreements
transition planning and timelines
training or support expectations
Throughout this stage, we stay involved to:
keep communication clear
prevent misunderstandings
maintain momentum
reduce delays and unnecessary stress
help you evaluate decisions calmly and confidently
Step 07
Smooth Transition & Completion
Once agreements are signed, we help both parties coordinate a clear and orderly handover.
This may include:
transferring responsibilities
introducing key staff or operational details
clarifying ongoing support
ensuring the new owner understands key processes
Our aim is a smooth transition that protects the business, the team, and continuity of operations.
Why This Process Works
Our structured method is built around one goal:
a well-managed business sale that protects your time, your business, and your outcome.
We remove confusion.
We remove unpredictability.
We remove unnecessary obstacles.
Instead, you get clarity, guidance, and a process that moves forward step by step.
Ready to Begin?
You don’t need documents ready.
You don’t need a valuation.
You don’t need to be fully certain you want to sell.
A conversation is all it takes to explore your options and understand what a proper exit could look like.
