Thinking About Selling Your Singapore-Based Business?

Selling a business is one of the most significant financial and personal decisions an owner will make. At Maven, we provide structured, confidential M&A advisory and business brokerage services for Singapore-based businesses, helping owners understand their valuation, prepare properly, and engage serious buyers from both Singapore and international markets — without unnecessary disruption to day-to-day operations. Our role is to guide you through the entire process, from early preparation to post-sale transition, so you can exit with clarity, confidence, and the best possible outcome.

Valuation & Readiness

We start by understanding your business in detail. This includes reviewing financials, normalising EBITDA, assessing risks, and identifying factors that influence valuation. You’ll gain a clear, realistic view of what your business is worth and how buyers are likely to see it.

Packaging & Positioning

A well-prepared business attracts stronger interest. We help organise financial records, documentation, and operational details, and position your business clearly so buyers understand its strengths, growth potential, and transferability.

Buyer Screening & Matching

We conduct discreet outreach to serious, qualified buyers — including strategic acquirers, investors, and family offices. Your confidentiality is protected throughout the process, with NDAs in place before sensitive information is shared.

Negotiation & Deal Structuring

From managing early discussions to negotiating the Letter of Intent (LOI), we guide deal terms, pricing structures, and transition arrangements. Our focus is on protecting value and aligning outcomes with your goals.

Due Diligence & Closing

We coordinate the due diligence process, manage timelines, and support you through closing. Where required, we also advise on post-sale transition planning to ensure continuity and peace of mind.

Looking to Buy a Business in Singapore?

Buying a business can be an effective way to grow, diversify, or enter a new market — but only if the opportunity is right. Maven supports buyers, investors, and family offices looking to buy a business in Singapore, providing clarity around valuation, risks, and deal execution. We help you make informed acquisition decisions by focusing on quality opportunities, clear financial insights, and disciplined processes.

Clarifying Your Acquisition Criteria

We begin by understanding your objectives, preferred industries, deal size, and involvement level. This ensures time is spent only on opportunities that align with your strategy.

Sourcing & Access to Opportunities

We provide access to vetted businesses for sale and conduct targeted sourcing beyond public listings when needed. This includes off-market opportunities that may not be widely available.

Financial & Commercial Assessment

We help evaluate financial performance, EBITDA quality, customer concentration, and operational risks so you can assess whether a business is fairly priced and strategically sound.

Negotiation & LOI Support

From structuring offers to negotiating terms, we guide you through the entire deal making process with a focus on clarity, fairness, and long-term value creation.

Due Diligence & Completion

We coordinate the due diligence process and support you through closing, helping to manage risk and ensure a smooth transition post-acquisition.

Not Ready to Sell Yet?
Here’s How We Help You Get Exit-Ready

Many business owners know they want to exit one day — just not today. Preparing early often leads to better outcomes, higher valuations, and fewer surprises when the time comes. Maven helps owners strengthen their business, improve readiness, and plan ahead, whether for a future sale, succession, or expansion.

Financial Review & Valuation Insight

We assess your current financial position, identify gaps, and help you understand what buyers will look for when valuing your business.

Operational & Deal Risk Assessment

We identify operational and structural risks that could impact valuation or deal success, so potential issues are resolved well before due diligence.

Improving Attractiveness

We reduce owner dependency by formalising systems and strengthening management, improving transferability and buyer appeal.

Succession & Transition Planning

For family businesses or long-term owners, we support succession planning and leadership transition to ensure continuity and stability.

Strategic Preparation for Exit or Expansion

Whether your goal is to sell in 12–24 months or simply build a stronger business, we help create a practical roadmap aligned with your long-term objectives.

Alicia Tan Founder, Mobile App Company

“We were a bootstrapped app business doing around SGD 1.2M in annual revenue but growth had stalled. The Maven helped us reframe our valuation, identify the right buyer profile, and structure a clean exit within six months.”

Daniel F. Owner, SaaS & Tools Business

“The Maven didn’t just talk about value — they showed us where it came from. Their valuation process gave us clarity we never had before, and the buyers they introduced were serious and well-aligned.”

Jonathan K. Lee Managing Director, Creative Services Firm

“After years of running a creative agency, I wasn’t sure if selling was the right move. The Maven helped me think through it calmly and honestly. There was no pressure — just good advice and a clear plan.”

Rachel Ann Wong Co-founder, B2B Technology Company

“We had multiple inbound offers before, but none felt right. The Maven helped us compare price versus terms properly, which ultimately led to a better outcome even though the headline number wasn’t the highest.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What does your M&A advisory service include from start to finish?

Our M&A advisory service covers the full transaction lifecycle. For sellers, this includes valuation analysis, preparation and positioning, confidential buyer outreach, negotiation of terms, coordination of due diligence, and completion support. For buyers, we assist with opportunity sourcing, financial assessment, structuring offers, LOI negotiation, and deal execution. Our role is to manage and execute the process end-to-end.

How do you protect confidentiality when selling a business?

Confidentiality is built into our process. We vet buyers carefully before sharing sensitive information and use staged disclosures under non-disclosure agreements (NDAs). Outreach is targeted and discreet to prevent unnecessary disruption to staff, customers, or competitors. Protecting your business while achieving the right outcome is central to how we operate.

Do you only work with businesses ready to sell now?

No. We also work with owners who are 12–36 months away from a sale. Our exit-readiness and succession planning support focuses on improving valuation, strengthening transferability, and addressing risks early so you are better positioned when the time comes.

How do you help buyers evaluate whether a business is fairly priced?

We assess EBITDA quality, cash flow sustainability, customer concentration, operational risks, and market comparables to determine whether a valuation is justified. Beyond price, we evaluate structure and terms to ensure the transaction aligns with your strategic objectives.

What types of buyers do you work with?

We work with strategic acquirers, private investors, family offices, PE-backed groups, and owner-operators seeking to buy businesses in Singapore. Our network includes both local and international buyers, depending on industry and deal profile.

How long does a typical sale or acquisition process take?

Most transactions take between 3–12 months, depending on preparation, buyer demand, financial clarity, and the complexity of due diligence. A well-prepared business and a structured process significantly reduce delays and improve outcomes.
