Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, your and every other sales profile is anonymous. You can decide how specific the information you share about your business is. Your personal information is not shared on the platform. Only the information in the profile about the business to be sold is shown. Your identity remains protected until you decide you want to share it.

Brookz is the largest acquisition platform in the Netherlands with by far the largest reach among potential buyers. There are over 50,000 entrepreneurs, investors and advisers affiliated with Brookz. Therefore we can guarantee that you will always get in touch with a number of parties.

On average, there are 8.2 responses to a sales profile, but there are large differences between them. Depending on the type of business and the sector in which it operates (for example, IT, E-commerce or Pharmaceuticals), there are regularly more than 20 responses to a sales profile.

Half of all businesses posted on Brookz are sold within six months. Within a year, 75% of all businesses are sold.

We recommend that - apart from revenue and profit - you do not mention an asking price in your sales profile at first. It is better to wait and see how many responses you get and what kind of buyers come forward for your business. Then adjust your pricing strategy accordingly.
