Almost. DealOn charges a nominal £1,000 retainer fee to secure your mandate — but no monthly charges, no interim milestone fees. Our success fee is only triggered upon signing of the deal. This applies to all sell-side mandates without exception.

Our target average is ~100 days, with our platform designed to achieve signing in as few as possible. The industry average is 9–12 months. Our speed comes from AI-powered buyer matching, parallel workstream management, and senior-led execution; we don't waste time on unqualified leads.

Not at all. We work with businesses from circa £500k turnover upwards. Our AI matching engine is particularly powerful for smaller deals where manual buyer identification is cost-prohibitive for traditional advisors.

Our engine analyses your company across multiple dimensions: sector, size, geography, growth profile, customer concentration, recurring revenue, margin profile, and more. It then scores every buyer in our database of companies across Europe and the Gulf for compatibility, surfacing the highest-probability matches for human review by your lead advisor.

Absolutely. Confidentiality is foundational to everything we do. All prospective buyers sign NDAs before receiving any identifying information. We use anonymised profiles in our initial matching process, and your identity is only disclosed to pre-qualified, NDA-bound parties with your express approval.
