Selling a UAE business with SHARH

All engagements begin under NDA. Your information is never shared with third parties without your explicit written consent. Our platform operates within a secure, encrypted environment, and listings on the public marketplace never reveal owner identity or precise location until a buyer has been qualified and signed an NDA.

We combine financial performance data, UAE sector multiples, transferability, and active buyer demand signals to produce a calibrated valuation range — not generic global benchmarks. The methodology layers DCF, comparables, and asset-based approaches, calibrated by AI against the SHARH transaction dataset (AED 500M+ in assets assessed) and reviewed by a senior advisor.

Most owner-led transactions close in three to six months depending on readiness, documentation quality, and pricing expectations. Distressed or partial-stake transactions can move faster (4-8 weeks) when documentation is clean. We model realistic timelines from day one rather than promising unrealistic speed.

Not always. Clean management accounts can be enough to start the process, and we help structure the data needed for buyer confidence as the process progresses. For deals above AED 5M, audited financials substantially shorten due diligence and typically increase the realised price.

Strategic acquirers (companies expanding through acquisition), investment groups, family offices, sector-focused operators, and qualified individual buyers actively looking across the region. We also partner with licensed UAE brokers (RERA-registered) who bring qualified buyers from their own networks.

Initial consultation and valuation review are complimentary. Brokerage fees are success-based: 2% transaction commission on deals above AED 500K, or a fixed AED 10,000 success fee on smaller transactions. We are fully transparent about all fees before any work begins, and you pay nothing until a transaction closes.

Yes. After your valuation and a confidentiality agreement, qualifying businesses are listed on the SHARH marketplace with a redacted public profile. Full information (financials, location, identity) is only released to buyers who have signed an NDA and been qualified by our team.

Visit our /brokers page and submit an application. Licensed brokers (RERA-registered) with proven transaction experience are reviewed manually. Approved brokers receive access to SHARH-listed businesses and earn 30% of SHARH's commission on every deal they close with their buyer.
