Users are responsible for taking their own independent legal, financial, tax, accounting, valuation, commercial and due diligence advice before entering into any transaction.

Buy a Business Ltd provides an online marketplace where sellers, brokers and business owners can advertise businesses for sale, and buyers can browse listings and submit enquiries.

The platform may include:

We do not verify every listing, every business, every seller, every broker, every financial figure, or every claim made in a listing.

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account, submit an enquiry, purchase a subscription, list a business, or use any account-based feature.

By using the website, you confirm that:

We may refuse access, suspend accounts, remove listings, or restrict features if we believe these Terms have been breached.

The platform may support different user types, including buyers, sellers, brokers and administrators.

You must select the correct account type when registering or using the platform.

If you use the platform as a seller, broker, business owner, professional adviser, company, sole trader, partnership or other business user, you confirm that you are acting for business purposes.

If you use the platform as an individual outside your trade, business, craft or profession, you may have additional consumer rights under UK consumer law.

We may suspend or close accounts where we reasonably believe there is fraud, misuse, security risk, unlawful activity, or breach of these Terms.

Sellers and brokers are solely responsible for the accuracy, legality and completeness of their listings.

By submitting a listing, you confirm that:

We may review, edit, reject, remove, suspend, archive or request changes to a listing where we believe this is necessary for legal, safety, quality, compliance, fraud-prevention or marketplace-integrity reasons.

Publication of a listing does not mean we endorse, verify, recommend or guarantee the business, seller, broker, valuation, asking price, financial figures or opportunity.

All financial figures, asking prices, turnover figures, profit figures, asset values, stock values, lease details, franchise details, employee information, trading history and other business information are supplied by the seller or broker.

Buy a Business Ltd does not independently verify this information.

Buyers must carry out their own due diligence and obtain independent professional advice before relying on any listing information or entering into discussions, negotiations or contracts.

Buyers may submit enquiries about listed businesses through the platform.

When you submit an enquiry, you agree that your enquiry details may be shared with the relevant seller or broker so they can respond to that specific enquiry.

Buyer enquiry data may include your name, email address, enquiry message, and any phone number or other information you choose to provide.

Sellers and brokers must only use buyer enquiry data to respond to the specific enquiry made through the platform. They must not use buyer enquiry data for unrelated marketing, spam, resale, data harvesting, or unrelated commercial purposes unless they have obtained separate lawful permission from the buyer.

We do not guarantee that:

Any visibility, promotional or campaign feature is intended to improve presentation or exposure only. It is not a guarantee of commercial result.

Search results, filters, suggested listings, recommendation cards and AI-assisted outputs are provided for general guidance only.

They may be based on user-selected filters, listing attributes, category, location, recency, completeness or other marketplace factors.

They are not based on a personalised assessment of your finances, investment objectives, risk appetite, tax position, legal position or suitability.

Nothing on the platform should be treated as a recommendation to buy, sell, invest in, value, finance or proceed with any business.

The platform may use AI-assisted features to help with listing summaries, descriptions, search support, guidance content, chatbot responses or user assistance.

AI-assisted content may be inaccurate, incomplete or out of date. It is provided for general guidance only.

AI must not be relied on as legal, tax, financial, investment, valuation, accounting, commercial, regulated or professional advice.

Sellers remain responsible for checking and approving any AI-assisted listing text before publication.

Buyers remain responsible for independent due diligence and professional advice.

You must not submit, promote or use the platform for:

We may remove or refuse any listing or content that we believe breaches these Terms or creates legal, regulatory, safety or reputational risk.

The platform is intended for advertising businesses, business assets, goodwill, franchises, leasehold interests, freehold interests, or lawful business-sale opportunities.

The platform is not intended for promoting investments, securities, public fundraising, fractional ownership, passive investor opportunities, guaranteed returns, dividends or regulated financial products.

Sellers must not use investment-style language such as guaranteed return, passive income investment, dividend opportunity, equity investment, investor raise, regulated investment, or similar wording unless they have obtained appropriate legal and regulatory approval.

Where a listing involves shares, securities or anything that may fall within financial promotion law, the seller is responsible for ensuring the listing is lawful before submission.

We may require additional information, delay publication, request legal evidence, or refuse any listing that appears to raise financial promotion concerns.
