How ContractorExit works
Whether you're selling the business you built or looking to buy your next one, here's exactly how it works - and how we keep it safe.
Selling your business
List your business
Fill in our short form - your trade, location, a few numbers and why you're selling. It takes a few minutes and it's free.
See an instant valuation
As you enter your revenue and profit, you'll get a free ballpark estimate of what your business could be worth.
Get matched with a broker
We review your listing and connect you with a vetted business broker who knows your trade and market.
Sell with support
Your broker and a network lawyer handle the sale - pricing, buyers, negotiation and the legals - so you're never on your own.
Buying a business
Pick your market
Choose your country so you only see businesses for sale where you're looking to buy.
Browse blind listings
Every listing shows the real numbers - revenue, profit, asking price, reason for selling - without exposing the business name.
Request information
Found one you like? Send an enquiry and we'll connect you with the broker handling that sale.
Do your diligence and buy
Work through the detail with the broker and lawyer, and complete the purchase with proper support.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to list my business?+
Listing your business and getting a ballpark valuation is completely free. Fees only come into play if and when you choose to work with a broker to sell - and they'll be clear with you about those upfront.
Why don't listings show the business name?+
Listings are blind by design. We never publish your business name or anything that identifies it. This protects your staff, customers and competitors while you sell, which is standard practice in business sales.
Who are the brokers and lawyers?+
They're experienced, vetted business brokers and solicitors from our network. When you list, we match you with the right professionals for your trade, market and timeline.
What kinds of businesses can I sell here?+
Any blue-collar or trade business - plumbing, electrical, HVAC, cleaning, carpentry, construction, general contracting, landscaping, roofing, painting, flooring, pest control and more.
How is my valuation worked out?+
Our free tool applies an earnings multiple to your annual profit to give you a starting-point estimate. It's a ballpark, not a formal valuation - your broker confirms the real figure based on your contracts, team, assets and more.
What happens to my details?+
We share your details only with the vetted brokers and lawyers who'll help with your sale, with your consent. See our Privacy Policy for the full picture.
