Sell your business on NextOwner
Advertise to buyers who compare the numbers first. No commission, and every enquiry comes straight to you.
These plans are for owners selling their own business. Brokers can join the broker directory, and franchisors can list a franchise.
Choose how you want to sell
Every plan is commission-free. Standard and Featured are a one-off payment, not a monthly fee. Brokers on a Featured plan get 25% off.

Questions sellers ask
Do you charge commission when my business sells?
No. You pay for advertising only, and the Free plan costs nothing. We never take a share of the sale price.
Do you act for me or for the buyer?
No. NextOwner is an advertising platform. We aren't a broker or agent, we don't negotiate, and we don't take part in the sale.
How do buyer enquiries reach me?
Each enquiry shows in your account with the buyer's name and contact details, and you reply to them directly. Email alerts for new enquiries are coming soon.
Will buyers see my address or business name?
Buyers see your suburb, never your street address. You write the title and description, so you decide whether to name the business.
How should I price my business?
We don't value businesses. Many buyers compare the asking price with yearly profit, so make sure your profit figure is accurate. An accountant or a business valuer can help you set a price.
Do you check the figures in my ad?
No. Figures are shown as you enter them, and buyers are told to check them through their own due diligence. Be ready to back them up with your financial statements.
What is a pitch video?
A short video of you introducing the business, up to 50 MB (about a minute on a phone). It comes with the Standard and Featured plans and plays first on your ad. It's optional: you can choose not to add one.
When can I list my business?
Now. Create an account, fill in your listing, and we'll check it before it goes live. You can pick Standard or Featured today: we won't charge you until payments open, and until then your ad runs with Free plan features.
What gets an ad declined?
Anything that breaks our ad rules: misleading details, bait prices, illegal businesses, offers of investment, or phone numbers and links in the description. The form warns you as you type, and if we decline an ad, your account page shows which rule it broke. The full list is on the Ad rules page.
Can I get a refund?
If we decline your ad, we refund what you paid less a $10 review fee. Withdraw it before it's approved for a full refund. Once it's live there are no change-of-mind refunds. The full details are on the Refund policy page.
Sell your business in three steps
- 1
Create your account
Sign up with your email address.
- 2
Write your ad
Add your numbers, photos and a description. Your street address stays private.
- 3
Hear from buyers
Enquiries show in your account, and you reply to buyers directly.
Get your numbers ready
Serious buyers ask for the same things first. Having them ready means fewer emails back and forth, and better enquiries from people who can actually buy.
- Profit and loss statements for the last two or three financial years
- Your lease: rent, outgoings, years remaining and any options
- A list of equipment and fit-out, with rough values
- Staff roles, hours and how long each person has been with you
- Licences and permits, and whether they transfer to a new owner
- Stock value, if stock is sold on top of the price (SAV)
