How BuyBiashara Works
Whether you're buying or selling a business, BuyBiashara gives you a structured, trusted process from discovery to deal — with admin oversight at every step.
For Buyers
How Buying Works
Acquiring a business on BuyBiashara is a structured, agent-supported process. You review full financials before committing to anything, submit an indicative offer, then verify everything through due diligence before you sign.
Browse & Review
Explore verified, agent-reviewed businesses across every category. Filter by asking price, industry, or location. Once signed in you see the full financial picture — revenue, costs, assets, staff, and operations. The business name, exact address, and owner identity stay protected until later in the process.
Ask Us Anything
Request a phone call, book a virtual meeting, or send a message. Our agents know each listing in detail and will tell you honestly what is strong and what is not. There is no cost and no obligation at this stage.
Submit an Offer
When a business fits, submit an offer based on the published figures. Your offer is indicative, not binding — it signals serious interest and opens the next stage. If due diligence later reveals something materially different from what was published, you can revise your offer or walk away.
Acquisition Readiness Check
Once a seller accepts your offer in principle, we have a short conversation to confirm your funding route and timeline. This is scaled to the transaction — usually a quick call for smaller businesses, with supporting documents for larger acquisitions. Using financing, a sacco facility, partner capital, or a staged payment arrangement? Tell us early. We can often structure the transaction around it.
Due Diligence
Now the business is fully revealed to you. You visit the premises, meet the owner, and review financial and legal documents through a secure link. This is where you confirm that what was published holds up. Typically completed within five business days, with our agent alongside you throughout.
Sign, Pay & Take Over
Both parties attend our offices to sign — Sale Agreement, Share Purchase or Asset Purchase Agreement, and supporting schedules, prepared by our in-house legal team. Your payment is held in our designated client account and released to the seller only once legal transfer is confirmed and irreversible. We then facilitate the full handover: lease, bank accounts, staff introductions, suppliers, and systems.
Site visits, document access, and agent time cost a seller their privacy and cost us real resources. We do not send every enquiry to a seller's premises. That is precisely why sellers list with us, and why serious buyers get our full attention rather than a slice of it.
Your offer costs you nothing and commits you to nothing. It simply tells us you have made a decision, so we can put our full weight behind you.
For Sellers
How Selling Works
Selling on BuyBiashara is fully managed — whether you are selling a sole trader business, an SME, or a registered limited company via share sale or asset purchase. Your dedicated agent handles the listing, buyer vetting, offer negotiation, due diligence, and legal closing.
Create Your Account
Sign up and complete your profile — including your phone number. Your dedicated agent will call you within one business day to learn about your business and explain the process in full.
Verification
Before your listing goes live, our team verifies the physical presence and ownership of your business. This is how every listing earns a Verified badge — our quality assurance to buyers that the business is real and the seller is legitimate.
Listing Goes Live
Your agent prepares and publishes your listing — or reviews and approves a self-submitted listing. Your business is anonymised — buyers see a descriptive label and general area, not your trading name or exact address.
Buyer Vetting & Inquiries
Our agents handle all buyer inquiries. Every buyer is bound by a platform-wide NDA, and no buyer reaches your premises without first submitting an offer and clearing an Acquisition Readiness Check — a confirmation of their funding route and timeline. We do not send browsers to your door. You stay focused on running your business.
Offer & Negotiation
When a buyer submits an offer, our agent reviews it and consults you. We negotiate on your behalf. Any offer within your agreed acceptable range is handled by our team — you confirm acceptance.
Due Diligence
The buyer visits your premises and reviews your documents through a secure link managed by our team. You prepare the agreed documents and make your business accessible for the visit. Our agent coordinates everything.
Agreements & Payment
Both parties attend our offices to sign all required agreements — including the Sale Agreement, Share Purchase or Asset Purchase Agreement, and any applicable transfer schedules. Payment is held securely in our designated client account and released to you per the agreed schedule, after legal transfer is confirmed and irreversible.
Post-Acquisition Support
You support the new owner as agreed — covering operational handover, introductions to staff and suppliers, and documented systems. Our team facilitates the entire transition.

Trust & Confidentiality
How we protect every party
Selling or buying a business requires trust — in the process, in the platform, and in the people facilitating the deal. Here is how BuyBiashara earns it.
Businesses are anonymised
No listing reveals the business name, exact address, or owner identity publicly. Buyers see a descriptive label and general area only. Full identity is disclosed only during due diligence — after an offer is accepted.
Platform-wide NDA at signup
Every buyer signs a Non-Disclosure Agreement when they create their account. This covers all listings they access. A per-listing confirmation checkbox logs their specific commitment to each business they unlock.
Buyers never contact sellers directly
All buyer communication goes through BuyBiashara agents — not to the seller. Your phone number and email are never disclosed. Buyers message our team, and we bring only serious, qualified interest to you.
Contact sharing is blocked
The platform automatically blocks any attempt to share phone numbers, email addresses, or external links in messages. Every blocked attempt is logged. This enforces the NDA and keeps all communication on record.
Documents released at the right stage
Financial documents and legal records are not available for download by buyers on the platform. They are shared by our team through a secure link during the due diligence phase — after an offer is accepted.
Escrow protects both sides
Payment is held in BuyBiashara's designated client account until legal transfer is confirmed and irreversible. Sellers are protected from non-payment. Buyers are protected from incomplete or failed transfers.
