Confidential Business Listings — Your Team Never Has to Know

Blind marketing, NDA-gated buyers, and structured site visits keep your sale invisible until you choose to announce.

Licensed California Business Broker • 100% Confidential • No Upfront Fees

The single biggest fear of every business owner thinking about selling is: 'What if my staff finds out?' Exit Clue's confidentiality protocol is built to ensure that doesn't happen. Blind teasers, NDA-required marketplace listings, structured buyer vetting, and site visits framed as consultant or vendor meetings keep your sale invisible to employees, customers, and competitors until you're ready to announce on your own terms — typically the day of close.

How It Works

  1. Step 1

    Blind Teaser Creation

    Industry, revenue band, geographic region — but no business name, address, or identifying details. Designed to attract serious buyers without revealing identity.

  2. Step 2

    NDA-Gated Marketing

    Every prospective buyer signs a non-disclosure agreement before seeing the CIM. Marketplace listings (BizBuySell, etc.) require NDA signature for full details.

  3. Step 3

    Buyer Pre-Qualification

    Proof of funds, SBA pre-qualification, and industry-fit verification before any buyer learns your business name.

  4. Step 4

    Structured Site Visits

    After-hours, weekend, or framed as 'consultant' or 'investor' visits. Multiple structures depending on your situation.
