Sell by industry
Selling a business in Pakistan, confidentially
Most owners don't want staff, suppliers or competitors to know they're selling. BusinessForSale.pk lists your business without your name or address and releases them only to NDA-signed buyers you agree to meet.
Buyers of running businesses are typically first-time owners, people moving from a job into business, and existing owners adding a location. Our desk qualifies every enquiry before an introduction.
How your business is valued
Most small running businesses are priced on seller's discretionary earnings (SDE) — profit plus the owner's salary and personal expenses run through the business — times an industry multiple, then adjusted for lease, licences, equipment and location. Stock is usually added at cost at handover.
We base the range on your actual month-by-month figures and the factors buyers pay for, then suggest a realistic list price that leaves room to negotiate.
What buyers will pay more for
Consistent sales and profit over at least a year
A secure lease
Staff and suppliers who stay
Licences that transfer
Documents to prepare
Sales records (POS, bank or wallet statements)
Supplier invoices
Rent agreement and landlord's consent to transfer
Owner CNIC and business registration
Bank or mobile-wallet statements for the last 6–12 months
Why sell through a brokerage desk
Selling a running business privately usually means tipping off staff and competitors, fielding calls from people who can't afford it, and negotiating without knowing what similar businesses sold for. A brokerage desk screens buyers, keeps your identity behind an NDA, and prices your business against real deals.
We also handle the parts that most often break a deal late: landlord consent, licence transfer, the stock-take and settling liabilities, so the buyer who agrees a price is still there at handover.

Selling your business: frequently asked questions
How do I sell my business in Pakistan?
Request a free valuation or list it yourself from your dashboard. Our desk reviews your figures and documents, can visit for the Verified seal, and publishes a confidential listing. We handle buyer enquiries, NDAs and introductions, and guide the agreement, stock-take and handover.
How much is my business worth?
Most small running businesses are priced on seller's discretionary earnings (SDE) — profit plus the owner's salary and personal expenses run through the business — times an industry multiple, then adjusted for lease, licences, equipment and location. Stock is usually added at cost at handover. Our quick estimate gives an indicative range in minutes; a detailed valuation uses your month-by-month sales, expenses and documents.
Will my staff, customers or competitors find out I'm selling?
Not from your listing. It shows the category, area and figures as ranges only. Your business name, exact address and contact details are shared only with buyers who accept an NDA, and only when you agree to an introduction.
What documents do I need to sell?
Sales records (POS, bank or wallet statements), Supplier invoices, Rent agreement and landlord's consent to transfer, Owner CNIC and business registration, Bank or mobile-wallet statements for the last 6–12 months. Having these ready makes verification faster and gives buyers confidence in your numbers.
What is the Verified seal and do I need it?
It shows buyers that our team visited your business and checked identity, sales evidence, lease, licences and liabilities. It isn't required, but Verified listings are trusted more and usually attract serious buyers sooner.
What do buyers see on my listing?
Category, area, asking price, sales and profit ranges, rent and lease term, what's included, and photos you approve. Everything that identifies you stays private until a buyer signs the NDA.
What do buyers look for in a business?
Consistent sales and profit over at least a year; a secure lease; staff and suppliers who stay; licences that transfer. Showing evidence for each of these supports your asking price.
How long does it take to sell a business?
It depends mostly on price and evidence. Well-documented businesses at a realistic price attract enquiries quickly; the legal side (lease, licences, agreement) then usually takes a few weeks.
How is stock handled when I sell?
Stock is normally counted at handover and paid for at cost on top of the asking price. Near-expiry, damaged or obsolete stock is usually excluded or discounted.
What about my lease and landlord?
Buyers will want the rent agreement to transfer, or a new agreement from the landlord. Getting the landlord's written consent early removes one of the most common reasons deals stall.
Can my licences be transferred to the buyer?
Depends on the industry: commonly a trade licence plus any sector licence (for example drug sale or food). We'll confirm the transfer route for your licences before the listing goes live.
Is the valuation free?
Yes, the quick estimate is free and there's no obligation. Our desk explains any fees for a detailed valuation or a successful sale before you commit to anything.
Can I list my business myself?
Yes. Create a free account, add your listing as a draft from your dashboard, upload photos and submit it for review. Our team checks every listing before it goes live.
