Exit Your Business the Right Way.
Sell Your Business Safely and Privately in Sri Lanka.
BizExit.lk helps Sri Lankan business owners sell their business through a structured, confidential, and professionally guided process — without unwanted attention, without disruption, and without dealing with random or unqualified buyers.
We connect you with serious, vetted private buyers who are actively looking to acquire established businesses, and guide you through every stage of the selling journey, from preparation and positioning to buyer matching, negotiation, and handover, so your business reaches the right buyers and achieves a fair, well-negotiated outcome.
Why Selling a Business in Sri Lanka Is So Difficult
In Sri Lanka, there is no clear, standard, or structured way for SME owners to sell their businesses properly.
Most owners face three major challenges:
No reliable, private access to real buyers
No clear process for preparing and presenting the business
No trusted intermediary to manage buyer discussions and guide negotiations
As a result, selling often becomes informal, risky, and emotionally stressful — and many good businesses end up poorly positioned, mispriced, or negotiated without proper support.
When the words “business for sale” start circulating:
Staff may panic or start planning exits
Competitors may spread rumours or approach customers
Suppliers may tighten credit
Customers may lose confidence
Landlords may question stability
Family members may interfere
Time-wasters and unqualified agents may flood in
Serious buyers may walk away due to noise and uncertainty
It becomes almost impossible to explore a sale openly without putting the business at risk.
This is why BizExit.lk exists — to give business owners a safe, structured, and controlled way to explore and complete a sale without damaging the business, its people, its reputation, or its value.
What a Proper Business Exit Should Look Like
A proper sale is not an advertisement.
It is a structured transaction.
A professional exit process means:
Understanding how the business truly makes money
Organising information buyers actually need
Setting a realistic, market-based value range
Presenting the business clearly and credibly
Introducing only serious, qualified buyers
Sharing information step-by-step
Managing negotiations calmly and professionally
Planning a smooth ownership transition and handover
The goal is not just to sell, but to sell to the right buyer, at the right price, on the right terms.
BizExit.lk is built to deliver exactly this.
Who This Service Is For
BizExit.lk is for owners of operating, revenue-generating businesses who want to exit properly, at the right value, and with clarity.
We typically work with owners who are:
Retiring after years of building their business
Planning to migrate or relocate
Feeling burnt out and ready for a new chapter
Managing a partner or shareholder exit
Handling a family transition
Seeking liquidity or stability
Running a profitable business they now wish to sell
Wanting a clean, organised handover
Wanting a professional, controlled selling process
If your business is running, earning, and transferable — and you want a structured, value-focused exit — we guide you through the entire journey.
Who This Service Is Not For
To protect both your time and ours, BizExit.lk is not suitable for:
- Owners who want public listings or mass advertising (ikman.lk, Facebook, etc.)
- Businesses that have completely stopped operating
- Sellers demanding unrealistic prices
- People looking for investors, loans, or funding
- Owners expecting a sale within a few weeks
- Sellers unwilling to share even basic business information
- Those only “testing the market” without real intent
- Owners wanting immediate buyer visits without a structured process
BizExit.lk is for serious owners seeking a proper transaction, not a rushed or speculative one.

What Buyers Actually Look For
Serious buyers usually look for:
- Consistent revenue
- Sustainable profits
- Stable operations
- Reliable staff
- Repeat customers
- Supplier continuity
- Clear systems and routines
- A business that can run without the owner daily
- A realistic understanding of performance
- Proper handover support
They do not require perfection.
You do not need:
- Audited financials
- Flawless documentation
- A “perfect” business
- Every process written in manuals
Buyers value clarity, honesty, and structure — and we help you prepare exactly that.
How We Vet Buyers
Every buyer in our network is screened for:
- Serious intent to purchase
- Financial capability
- Budget range
- Industry interest
- Timeline
- Experience
- Decision-making authority
- Communication quality
- Ability to follow a structured process
We remove:
- Curious browsers
- Inexperienced buyers
- Information collectors
- Agents posing as buyers
- Time-wasters
- Buyers who delay or disappear
Only serious, ready, and capable buyers are introduced.
Our Selling Process
Step 01
Start Your Inquiry
Everything begins with a simple inquiry form.
We ask only for the basics:
what type of business you run
where it’s located
how long you’ve been operating
approximate scale of the business
No documents are required at this stage.
It’s simply a starting point to understand your business.
Step 02
One-to-One Discussion
Next, we call or WhatsApp you for a short conversation.
This is a calm, pressure-free discussion where we learn about:
your business operations
your numbers in simple terms
your reason for selling
your timeline
your expectations
We also explain the overall process and answer any questions you may have.
You don’t need to make any decisions during this step.
Step 03
Preparing the Right Information
You don’t need perfect paperwork. Most Sri Lankan SMEs don’t — and that’s normal.
We help you organise what you already have:
approximate monthly revenue
approximate monthly profit
expense ranges
staff list and roles
rent or lease details
equipment and assets
supplier list
customer types
daily operations overview
We also guide you on:
which details matter to buyers
what can be shared later
what should wait until advanced stages
how to structure your numbers clearly
what pricing expectations are realistic
how buyers are likely to assess value
Fees & Costs
We keep our fee structure simple and transparent.
Our model is success-based. You pay only if your business is sold.
There are no upfront fees, no retainers, and no hidden charges.
The success fee is payable only upon a completed transaction and covers preparation, buyer screening, introductions, coordination, negotiation support, and overall process guidance.
About BizExit.lk
BizExit.lk was created with one clear purpose: to help Sri Lankan business owners sell their business properly, without chaos, exposure, or unnecessary stress — and without sacrificing value.
Selling a business in Sri Lanka is sensitive and complex. Even a small rumour can unsettle staff, raise questions from suppliers, worry customers, and create unnecessary pressure from family and competitors. Many owners want to explore selling carefully, but do not know where to start or who to trust.
One of the biggest challenges is finding real buyers. Too often, owners end up dealing with curious callers, time-wasters, inexperienced buyers, or people who ask many questions but never move forward. Public listings and open advertising only increase noise and risk.
BizExit.lk solves this by maintaining a private pool of serious, verified buyers who are actively looking to acquire established Sri Lankan businesses. These are business owners, investors, professionals, and entrepreneurs who have already been screened for financial capability, seriousness, and genuine intent.
Along with access to buyers, we provide a structured, end-to-end exit process tailored for Sri Lankan SMEs. We help you prepare and position your business properly, introduce only the right buyers, manage discussions, and keep the entire journey organised and controlled from start to finish.
What makes BizExit.lk different is our commitment to doing this properly — without shortcuts, without public exposure, and without unnecessary pressure. We believe every business owner deserves clarity, dignity, and a professional process when making such an important decision.
Our focus is simple:
Protect the business.
Protect the owner.
Protect the value.
Connect you to the right buyers.
Guide you to a clean, confident exit.
