How it works

One path for owners, one for successors. They meet in a shared deal room that guides both sides to a signed handover.

If you own a business

1
Get a free valuation
Answer a few short questions. You get an estimated value range and see exactly how we calculated it.
2
See how ready your business is
Learn how easy your business is to hand over today, and the three things that would help most.
3
Get verified and publish anonymously
Erbelo matches revenue and earnings to your latest financial statement. Buyers then see region, industry and ranges, never your name, until you share it.
4
Choose your successor
See successors who fit, with their introduction; verified ones carry a badge. Invite the ones you'd like to meet, or decline with a reason.
5
Hand over with guidance
Work through the deal room together, then mentor your successor for as long as you agreed.
