Private Sale

Sell Your Business Privately

El Arab Club connects you with verified, serious buyers — with the level of confidentiality and structure that significant transactions require.

Who Should List Through the Club?

El Arab Club is designed for sellers who prioritise confidentiality and seriousness over broad reach. If you fall into any of the following categories, the club may be the right channel for you:

Business owners planning retirement or a pivot who need the right buyer, not the fastest offer
Family partners seeking a smooth ownership transition outside the family
Founders who have built something of value and want to exit and move to the next chapter
Investors looking to divest an operational asset in their portfolio
Companies seeking to sell a branch, division, or subsidiary entity

Why Sell Through a Private Network?

Your staff, customers, and suppliers remain unaware until a deal is close to completion
Only vetted, serious buyers see your business — no tyre-kickers or information seekers
Your financial information is protected by a signed NDA before any disclosure
The introduction and negotiation process is structured to avoid wasted time
The club facilitates but does not replace your legal and financial advisors

What to Prepare Before Listing

Good preparation significantly increases the quality of buyer interest and the efficiency of negotiation. Here is what the club requires before your business is shown to members:

Financial Records

Three years of audited or management accounts, current year P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow statement. Buyers expect clean, explainable numbers.

Operational Overview

Staff count, key roles, supplier relationships, customer concentration, and operational dependencies that a buyer needs to understand.

Legal Standing

Trade licences, ownership structure, any pending liabilities, and IP or brand ownership documentation.

Owner's Brief

A concise summary explaining the reason for sale, business history, competitive position, and what the seller is seeking in a buyer.

Important Note

El Arab Club does not guarantee a sale or make representations about pricing, timelines, or transaction outcomes. The club provides structured introductions, process, and confidentiality. Sellers and buyers remain responsible for verifying all information and meeting their own legal and tax obligations.
