Slyced Exchange · How it works
Sell your business without telling the world.
Your employees, customers, and competitors never need to know a sale is happening. The Exchange shows buyers a strong business - and keeps your name out of it until you decide otherwise.
- Anonymous by default
- Verified buyers only
- NDA before any reveal
- 0% commission, ever
What buyers see first
A profile that proves the business, not the name.
Public listings are built from ranges and categories - revenue bands, an industry, a region. Exact figures, your name, and your location are structurally absent, so they cannot leak from the page.
Every word you write is screened before it can go live. Names, web addresses, phone numbers, street addresses, license numbers, one-of-a-kind claims - anything that could identify you is flagged, and flagged content blocks publishing until it is rewritten. A person reviews every listing before it appears.

The path from listed to closed
Four steps. You hold the keys at every one.
You list, anonymously.
Build your profile from ranges and categories, with help at every step. Automatic screening checks every word for anything that could identify you, and a person reviews the listing before it goes live. Edits are screened again, every time.
You stay invisible.
Buyers prove who they are.
Anyone can browse the blind listings. Going further is different: before a buyer can request access or see more detail, they verify their identity. No anonymous tire-kickers, no fishing for who you are.
Curiosity is free. Contact is earned.
You see them first. Then the NDA.
When a verified buyer requests access, you see who they are - their name, their background, their intent - while they still see an anonymous listing. If you approve, they sign a real NDA before your identity is revealed.
Your name is the last thing shared, not the first.
The deal room opens.
An approved buyer steps into a private deal room: your documents, structured Q&A, and a record of every view. You can pause the listing or step back from any conversation at any time.
Everything in one place, on the record.
What it costs
Zero percent Commission. Ever.
Listing on the Exchange is a flat software subscription. We never take a percentage of your sale - not at listing, not at closing, not ever. On a typical small-business sale, traditional brokers charge ten percent or more of the price.
No success fees
Our fee never depends on whether, or for how much, you sell.
Not a broker
Slyced is software and a venue. We don't represent either side, negotiate terms, or handle the money.
You stay in control
You approve every buyer, every reveal, and every document - and can stop at any time.
Anonymity protection
Three layers between your listing and your name.
Structured by design
The public profile is assembled from ranges and picklists. Exact revenue, your name, and your address have no field to live in, so they cannot appear.
Every word screened
Free text is screened against your own company record and dozens of patterns - names, web addresses, emails, phone numbers, street addresses, license numbers, one-of-a-kind claims. Flagged content blocks publishing, and every edit is screened again.
Reviewed by a person
Nothing goes live on the Exchange until a person has read it. If something feels too identifying, it goes back to you with a plain-language note, not into the open.
Plain answers
The questions every owner asks.
- Will my employees or competitors find out?
- Not from the listing. What the public sees is a blind profile: an industry, a region, and ranges. Your name, exact numbers, and location are revealed only to a specific buyer you approved, after they sign an NDA.
- When exactly is my identity revealed?
- After three things happen, in order: a buyer verifies their identity, you personally approve their request, and they sign the NDA. Until all three, every buyer sees the same anonymous profile.
- What does it cost to sell?
- A flat monthly subscription while your listing is active. There is no commission and no success fee - 0% of your sale price, ever.
- Is Slyced a broker?
- No. Slyced is software and a place to list. We don't represent you or the buyer, negotiate your deal, or touch the money. You stay in control of every decision, with your own advisors as you choose.
Quiet on the outside. Serious on the inside.
