When listing a business for sale most business owners want the listing to be confidential. This is to ensure that the employees and/or competitors are not alerted to the owners intentions. In order to ensure the confidentiality of the owners business information we require all buyer prospects to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement before receiving specific information about any businesses we have listed for sale. If you would like to complete a Non-Disclosure Agreement with us you can do so by clicking the link below, completing the form, and faxing it back to us.
