That was the buyer journey. Also selling a company?
Your benefits
The problem

The best deals aren't public.

On conventional marketplaces, every listing lands in an open shop window, visible to competitors, employees and the merely curious. That's why sale-ready entrepreneurs keep their best companies away from such platforms and negotiate discreetly off to the side. For buyers, that means: you never get to see exactly the deals that are interesting.


The DUB solution

Discreet for the seller, visible to matching buyers

On DUB, every seller decides for themselves who even gets to see their offer. That gives them the discretion they would otherwise only find by selling away from platforms, without giving up reach. For buyers, that means: access to sale-ready companies that otherwise never surface on open marketplaces.

  • Discover high-quality deals for free
  • Precise, customisable search filters
  • Alerts for new deals that match you
  • Easy to use and easy to get in touch

The problem

Sell without giving up control

Conventional marketplaces usually charge high fees, and listings end up in a shop window, visible to everyone. Among them are not only potential buyers, but also competitors, employees and curious onlookers with no serious intent to buy. That endangers your privacy and complicates the sale.


The DUB solution

Your privacy, our promise

DUB gives you back full control, whether as an advisor or directly as a seller. You decide who can see your offer, keeping full discretion and security. Thanks to detailed buyer profiles and intuitive control over your listing's visibility, we support your sale process. Discreet, secure and completely free.

Decide for yourself who sees your seller profile and your listings.

Targeted buyer selection

Decide, based on detailed buyer profiles, who you get in touch with.

Secure information exchange

After a match, DUB enables the secure exchange of all key information, protected by an NDA.

Everything in view

In the seller view, you always keep an overview of all interested parties and their status.
