Free for Every Buyer

What Buyer's EDGE does, at no charge.

On its own listings EDGE represents the seller, so there is nothing for a buyer to pay. What there is to do, from the first look to your terms of interest, happens in the portal.

Browse EDGE's listings

Every business EDGE is bringing to market, described without identifying the seller, with the figures the seller provided. Each listing shows the listing agent's name, photo and email, and the EDGE Buyer Line, and takes a message.

Sign the NDA online

Three short questions about you as a buyer, the agreement, your typed name. A copy is emailed to you. The listing's advisor approves the request, usually the same business day.

The confidential information opens

The CIM in the portal: the business, its financials, highlights, FAQ and more, with a PDF to download. Figures are as provided by the seller and are not audited by EDGE.

Ask, and share your terms

Ask the listing advisor questions beside the information, and share your terms of interest on the listing: Show Interest, Discuss Terms. Nothing is binding until EDGE's attorneys make an agreement so.

Your Buyer Profile and Capital Stack

Built by interview, on your Dashboard, so a seller's proof-of-funds request and a lender's first questions are answered before they are asked.

The Acquisition Academy

How a business is bought, in twenty steps, from the search thesis to the first year as the owner. Free to read. Its tools are part of the Acquisition Center.

The Acquisition Center: for buyers running their own search.

$4,750, one payment, for 18 months; then $500 a quarter to renew. A full refund if you ask within 7 days of paying. Paid by card through Stripe; EDGE never sees your card. It opens the Business Target Manager (every business you are evaluating, on one board, grouped by stage, with filters and a full page per business), Work this deal on each business (value it with an SBA lender style range, structure it with a capital stack and debt coverage, a branded Bank Package for the lender with a business plan and a five year projection with year one by month, and terms of interest to an EDGE advisor), the Analyst Toolkit (calculators, statement spreading, CIM review, valuation tools, lease abstracts, customer concentration, a business plan builder, a financial pro forma and more), and Notable Deals, the businesses EDGE advisors flag for buyers. Optional Advisor Deal Flow, $250 a month, cancel any time, adds an EDGE advisor who curates and analyses deals matched to your brief. The $500 Valuation, Structuring LOI, LOI Preparation Fee is waived when you engage EDGE on a business during your term.

When You Find a Business Elsewhere

Representation is for the businesses we do not list.

On an EDGE listing, EDGE represents the seller and you pay nothing. For a business you find anywhere else, EDGE can represent you.

Fastest Path to Closing

Single Transaction Buyer Representation

For one business you found. No fee to sign the agreement. A $500 Valuation, Structuring LOI, LOI Preparation Fee when EDGE engages on the business; a $2,500 Accepted LOI Fee if the seller accepts your Letter of Intent; and a success commission at closing of 4% of the first $1,000,000, 3% to $2,000,000, 2% above, with a $15,000 minimum. EDGE values the business, structures the deal and terms, writes the LOI and takes it to closing. Every LOI is reviewed and approved by EDGE's Managing Director before delivery, with an attorney on staff.

How representation works

Full Engagement

Full Buyer Representation

EDGE runs the search for a qualified buyer, then takes the right business through the same process.
