Building the Future of Business Brokerage

AI-native business brokerage helping small business owners exit at premium prices.

A Note from
the Founders

In 2025, SHARH set out to build something audacious: a full-service, technology-driven business brokerage built specifically for UAE SMEs.

Not a chaotic public classifieds board, and not a legacy advisory firm with astronomical retainers. Instead, we built a true, end-to-end M&A advisory firm designed for the business owners who form the actual backbone of the Emirates.

The traditional M&A playbook breaks below the mid-market. Legacy firms are too heavy and expensive, while listing sites force you to post highly confidential details publicly and fend for yourself.

We combined two unfair advantages to fix this:

AI-Native Speed: Our proprietary tech structures owner earnings into clean, defensible financials and prepares anonymous deal materials in a fraction of the time.

Local Regulatory Grounding: Our advisors focus entirely on strategic judgment, buyer qualification, and the ground realities of UAE mainland and free zone transfers.

We don't just list businesses. We defend your asking price and manage the process to a secured close.

FAQ

Common questions

Practical answers for owners evaluating an exit, and for buyers and partners exploring SHARH.

How confidential is the SHARH process?

All engagements begin under NDA. Your information is never shared with third parties without your explicit written consent. Our platform operates within a secure, encrypted environment, and listings on the public marketplace never reveal owner identity or precise location until a buyer has been qualified and signed an NDA.

How does SHARH estimate business value?

We combine financial performance data, UAE sector multiples, transferability, and active buyer demand signals to produce a calibrated valuation range — not generic global benchmarks. DCF, comparables, and asset-based approaches are run through our AI engine and validated by a senior SHARH advisor before anything is shared with you.

How long does a UAE business sale usually take?

Most owner-led transactions close in three to six months depending on readiness, documentation quality, and pricing expectations. Distressed or partial-stake transactions can move faster (4–8 weeks) when documentation is clean. We model realistic timelines from day one rather than promising unrealistic speed.

Do I need audited financials to sell my business?

Not always. Clean management accounts can be enough to start the process, and we help structure the data needed for buyer confidence as the process progresses. For deals above AED 5M, audited financials substantially shorten due diligence and typically increase the realised price.

What types of buyers does SHARH work with?

Strategic acquirers expanding through acquisition, investment groups, family offices, sector-focused operators, and qualified individual buyers actively looking across the region.

What does SHARH charge?

Initial consultation and valuation review are complimentary. Our advisory fees are purely success-based: 2% transaction commission on deals above AED 500K, or a fixed AED 10,000 success fee on smaller transactions. We are fully transparent about all fees before any work begins, and you pay nothing until a transaction closes.

What happens if I change my mind and decide not to sell?

You retain full control throughout the engagement. If you decide not to proceed, there are no termination penalties and no obligation to accept any offer. Confidentiality protections remain in place regardless of outcome.
