Confidentiality Policy

Last updated: August 2026

Confidentiality is the single thing owners worry about most, and the single thing most easily lost. This is how we handle it.

At inquiry

Nothing you tell us is shared with anyone. We do not add you to a list, we do not tell other brokers, and we do not contact your staff, customers, suppliers or landlord.

How we contact you

We do not leave voicemails that identify the business or the reason for the call, and we do not call your main business line unless you tell us to.

Marketing a business

A listed business is presented as a blind profile: sector, general location, revenue band and earnings band only. No name, no address, no identifying figure and no photograph.

Before detail is released

A prospective buyer signs a non-disclosure agreement before receiving anything further, and provides evidence of funds before receiving financial statements.

Your staff

Buyers are never introduced to your staff as buyers, and nothing is scheduled that would signal a sale in progress to anyone at the business.

Competitors

If a direct competitor inquires, we tell you before releasing anything, and you decide.

After the process

Where a deal does not proceed, we ask buyers to return or destroy the material they were given.

The limit of this

No process makes a sale impossible to guess at. What it does is remove every avoidable way for it to leak, and put the timing of any announcement in your hands.

Questions about any of this

Call (215) 278-8178 and ask. If it is about how a sale is actually run rather than about this notice, the guide to selling a business in Pittsburgh and the frequently asked questions cover most of it, and contact reaches a broker directly.
