What a Dubai business broker should actually do
A business broker should do more than publish an advert. For an owner-led company, the work starts with understanding transferable earnings, documenting the operating model, setting a defensible valuation range, and deciding what can be disclosed before an NDA.
SHARH prepares the business for buyer review, positions the opportunity, sources potential acquirers, qualifies interest, coordinates confidential information release, and supports the process through negotiation and closing preparation.
- Confidential seller intake and information review
- Valuation positioning and asking-price support
- Anonymous teaser and buyer-facing materials
- Qualified buyer outreach and screening
- NDA-controlled disclosure and deal coordination
- Offer comparison, negotiation support, and diligence preparation
Why local execution matters in Dubai
Dubai transactions can involve mainland companies, free-zone entities, asset sales, share sales, lease assignments, employee transfers, and authority-specific ownership procedures. These details affect the buyer pool, the structure of an offer, and the time required to complete a transaction.
A credible sale process therefore needs to explain the licence, location, lease, staffing, customer concentration, working capital, owner dependency, and transfer requirements before buyers reach advanced diligence.
A structured sale process
The process begins with a confidential review of financial performance and operational facts. SHARH then develops a valuation view and identifies the information gaps that could weaken buyer confidence.
Once the opportunity is ready, SHARH presents it without exposing the owner or precise identity publicly. Qualified buyers receive additional detail in stages. This reduces unnecessary disclosure while preserving enough information for serious buyers to make progress.
- 1. Confidential initial review
- 2. Financial and operational normalization
- 3. Valuation and market positioning
- 4. Anonymous marketing and direct outreach
- 5. Buyer qualification and NDA
- 6. Offers, diligence, negotiation, and closing coordination
Support for buyers as well as sellers
Buyers need more than a list of opportunities. They need comparable financial information, clear disclosure boundaries, and a route to the decision-maker. SHARH structures listings so that serious acquirers can assess fit before requesting confidential material.
Acquirers can browse the public marketplace or register a mandate covering target sectors, emirates, ticket size, and preferred deal structure.
