Sell your business: find the right successor
Erbelo guides you from the first valuation to the signed contract. Confidential, with figures you can follow, and free until the handover.
About 5 minutes, no sign-up. You only need an account to save your report or publish a listing.
What you get
- A valuation with every step shown: a value range, each factor explained
- Your handover readiness and the three steps that help most
- An anonymous listing: industry, state and ranges, never your name
- Successors who fit, introducing themselves to you
- A shared deal room with seven steps to the contract, including NDA and documents
- A bank-style financing calculator both sides can see
What Erbelo doesn't do
- Erbelo doesn't negotiate for you and represents neither side.
- Erbelo gives no legal or tax advice.
- The valuation is a first estimate, not a formal valuation or expert opinion.
For the contract and taxes, bring in a tax advisor and a lawyer or notary early.
Who Erbelo is for
Owner-run small and mid-sized businesses that make a profit and are looking for a successor outside the family or within their team.
What documents you need
- For the valuation: rough figures from last year
- To publish: your latest financial statement or management accounts (to match the figures; deleted afterwards)
- Later in the deal room, after the NDA: tax returns and P&L for the last 3 years, lease, staff list without personal data, inventory list
You share documents only once you want to meet a successor and they have signed the NDA.

Common questions
What does selling through Erbelo cost?
Nothing until the handover. Only if you hand over to a successor you found through Erbelo do you pay 2% of the purchase price, at least €6,500 plus VAT.
Will my staff or customers find out?
No. Your listing shows only industry, state and ranges. A successor sees name, town and documents only once you want to meet and they have signed the NDA.
Do I have to sign up right away?
No. The valuation works without an account. You only need one to save or publish.
What if no suitable successor comes along?
Then there's no cost. You can pause or delete your listing at any time.
How accurate is the valuation?
It's a first estimate based on typical industry multiples, with every step explained. For the sale, we recommend a professional valuation as well.
What does Erbelo check?
We match revenue and earnings in your profile to your latest financial statement. It's not an audit and no guarantee. The document is deleted after the decision.
Do I still need a tax advisor and a lawyer?
Yes. Erbelo structures the handover but doesn't replace legal or tax advice.
Your life's work deserves a next chapter.
