If there is one aspect of selling a business that we feel is more important than any other, it’s certainly confidentiality. Nothing can potentially harm a company more than employees, vendors, customers or competitors learning that a business is for sale. With this in mind, HBG puts an inordinate amount of emphasis on confidentiality and developed the Confidentiality Coordinator as a key part of VentureXchange.
The foundation of our Envisage Marketing System is seller confidentiality – we go to great lengths to protect the identity of the business and owner until a buyer has been properly qualified as a legitimate candidate to purchase the company.
The biggest example of our commitment to confidentiality can be found in our non-disclosure process. Buyers are required to complete an online NDA form through our website, which is then processed through a third-party verification software to validate or invalidate the buyer. To put it simply, buyers must be who they say they are in order to receive any additional information from us pertaining to a business.
