For business owners

Explore your options, quietly.

Built for operating companies, not just startups. Find capital partners and buyers who actually understand your business, and control what you share beyond the deal card, and when.

The median business sits on the market 168 to 170 days, and 59% of buyers have never owned one before.

02 · The cost of exposure

Where the months actually go.

Most of a sale is not negotiation. It is preparation, and waiting on the market to produce a buyer you did not choose.

Preparation before listing75 days
On market, waiting for a buyer110 days
Qualifying interested parties58 days
Diligence and close60 days

Diligence, legal, close4–9 wks
Total, with Safqos11–20 weeks

Finding and qualifying a buyer collapses from 12–26 weeks to days. Preparing your financials and closing the deal are unchanged, and together they are most of what is left.

Figures from the BizBuySell Insight Report and its 2025 year in review; 59% first-time-buyer figure from the BizBuySell buyer survey. Per-phase splits are indicative: BizBuySell publishes time on market and buyer profiles, not a phase breakdown. Safqos has not launched, so no measured time saving is claimed here.

03 · The engine

Know the buyer before you open your books.

Every buyer is on the record before you reach out. You see fit, what they actually acquire, and whether they are deploying now, so no one gets a look for free.

Fit, before you open your books

How closely they match the deal you're running

Fit measures what a buyer acquires, at what size, in what structure, against what you're actually running. A high score means the basics already line up.

Their criteria, on the record

A declaration, not a summary written by someone earning a fee

Every buyer states what they fund before they appear in your feed. You're reading what they wrote about themselves, not a broker's pitch.

Symmetric

Your own profile is checked against 68 risk factors

The read goes both ways. Every deduction is itemized, and you see the same explanations a buyer does.

04 · The vault

Nothing opens until you say so.

Your financials, valuation detail and data room sit in one gated place. Nothing opens until both sides accept a mutual NDA, and you decide what's on each side of that gate.

Every document starts NDA-gated by default. Watermarking is on by default and ties an opened document to the viewer. An AI review of financials and data rooms is built and running against sample documents, switched off for member documents during the beta.

05 · Say goodbye to

Six things that go.

Buyers who cannot fund the deal

Weeks of conversation to learn their ceiling was under your asking price.

A declared check size, floor and ceiling

It sits on the profile before you speak, so the mismatch never becomes a meeting.

Telling the story again to every tire-kicker

The same call and the same numbers for people who were never going to close.

Three messages each before anything opens

Enough to establish that a buyer is real, not enough to walk off with your figures.

Sending your books out to whoever asks

Financial statements emailed into a chain you cannot call back.

Documents gated by default, per document

Nothing detailed opens without a mutual NDA, and watermarking is on by default.

Chasing down the same documents

The same summary sent five times over across email and a shared drive.

Documents that arrive on connection

Tick what auto-sends, and a buyer has it the moment the connection is made.

A process that runs on someone else's calendar

Waiting on a shortlist while you still have a business to operate.

A profile that keeps working

Your declared terms keep matching you while you get back to running the company.

Managing it across five different tools

One tool to find buyers, another to message, another for calls, another for files.

One place, from the feed to the signed NDA

Feed, messaging, NDA, vault and pitch rooms are the same product.
