Sell Your Business in India
Without Risking
Confidentiality

To sell your business in India, start by getting a credible EBITDA-based valuation using real Indian SME transaction data. Prepare a confidential deal summary and list your business on MergerDomo to reach verified buyers and investors across 40+ industries. The platform manages NDAs, buyer screening and expert guidance— all confidentially, without revealing your identity until you choose to.

To find buyers for your business in India, list your business on MergerDomo — India's very own verified SME M&A marketplace. Your listing is matched to a multitude of verified buyers including strategic acquirers, private equity funds, family offices, HNIs, and angel investors. Buyers submit Expressions of Interest after signing NDAs. You retain full control over who sees your identity and financials.

MergerDomo maintains confidentiality at every stage of the sale process through a structured three-layer approach. First, buyers browsing the platform see only your industry and revenue range — your company name, location, team, customers, and financials are never visible at this stage. Second, no information passes to any buyer until you explicitly approve their Expression of Interest — you review their full verified profile before deciding whether to proceed. Third, before any detailed financial or operational information is shared, every buyer signs a legally binding Non-Disclosure Agreement.

Selling a business in India through a traditional investment banker or broker typically involves upfront retainer fees ranging from INR 5 lakh to INR 25 lakh or more, regardless of whether a deal closes. MergerDomo operates differently — there are no upfront fees to list your business. Every seller receives one complimentary Expression of Interest on registration. Additional EOIs can be purchased as needed.

Business valuation in India for an SME sale is typically based on the EBITDA multiple method — your annual EBITDA multiplied by a sector-specific multiple derived from comparable Indian SME transactions. Multiples vary by industry. Use MergerDomo's free valuation tool for an instant indicative range, or engage a CaaS consultant for a full valuation report.

An Expression of Interest, or EOI, is a formal signal from a buyer indicating they wish to learn more about acquiring or investing in a business. In an M&A transaction in India, an EOI is typically the first step after a buyer reviews a confidential deal summary — it signals serious intent without yet constituting a binding offer.

Small and medium businesses in India are acquired by several types of buyers. Strategic acquirers — established companies looking to expand into new markets, add capabilities, or consolidate a fragmented industry — represent the largest buyer category. Private equity funds and venture capital firms acquire SMEs as platform investments or bolt-on acquisitions for existing portfolio companies. Family offices and high-net-worth individuals deploy capital into profitable, cash-generative businesses as an alternative to financial markets. International buyers and cross-border funds actively seek India market entry through SME acquisitions, particularly in manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and technology. Angel investors take minority equity stakes in growing businesses. MergerDomo's verified network includes all of these buyer types across 40+ industries.
