Broker mandate control

The mandate holder keeps seller access, seller instructions, confidential documents and the negotiation path. DealExchange supports the public marketplace workflow.

Qualified buyer routing

Buyer forms capture budget, funding position, timeline, acquisition experience and NDA readiness before sensitive handoff.

Duplicate discipline

The same business should not appear as conflicting public teasers. DealExchange keeps one public teaser, records mandate claims privately and pauses risky submissions for review.

Confidential public copy

Public teasers can show sector, province, broad location, asking range, headline performance and buyer fit while keeping identity details gated.

Broker onboarding path

Approved brokers can start on Starter with one reviewed mandate. Active brokers move to Broker Growth or Brokerage for capacity, workflow, performance reporting, seat allowance and promoted credits.

Seller assistance

Owners who do not have a broker can submit a review request and ask DealExchange to discuss a suitable broker route.
