Business sellers and qualified buyers, matched directly.

Private business introductions

Good businesses. Serious buyers. One clear match.

BizMatch connects owners of durable, cash-flowing companies with buyers who already know what they want. No public listing circus. No endless inbox.

I’m selling a business I’m looking to buy

Listing isn’t the same as selling.

Most owners list, wait, and watch a good business go stale on the market. The usual problem is not effort. It is poor positioning and the wrong buyer pool.

BizMatch starts with fit: serious buyers, verified criteria, and a buy box that matches the business before the introduction.

Three steps. No mystery.

The intake questions show what GoldenPath will compare across seller situations and buyer acquisition criteria before anyone spends time on a call.

STEP 01

Share the essentials

When intake opens, sellers will send a clear business snapshot and buyers a specific buy box.

STEP 02

I identify the fit

I screen the pipeline and make an introduction only when the fundamentals line up.

STEP 03

You close. I earn a fee.

Both sides run their own diligence and negotiate the transaction. My fee is earned only after a successful close.

Review the right form.

Both intake forms are visible but disabled until the owner inbox is connected. Review what will be requested; save tax returns, customer lists and banking details for secure diligence after an introduction.

For sellers

Tell me what the company does and what a serious buyer needs to know first.

FEE STRUCTURE Paid only when a match closes.

There is no fee for submitting a profile. If I make a successful introduction, the matchmaking fee and who pays it are agreed in writing before the introduction. BizMatch is introduction-only.

WHY GOLDENPATH

Screen the noise. Protect the time.

I screen thousands of business opportunities for basic fit instead of forwarding every listing.

I work with a network of verified buyers and match against their stated criteria.

I focus on durable operating companies where the numbers, location and transition plan can be evaluated clearly.

BizMatch does not value, negotiate, finance or close the transaction. Each party should use its own attorney, CPA and licensed advisors for diligence and closing.

Questions before you submit.

What businesses are the best fit?

Established, cash-flowing service, logistics, repair or manufacturing companies—especially plumbing, HVAC, electrical, trucking, commercial repair and home services—with roughly $500K–$2M in annual SDE or EBITDA.

Is my business being publicly listed?

No. Submitting a profile starts a private fit review. A potential introduction happens only when seller fundamentals and buyer criteria align.

How are buyers verified?

I review the buyer’s identity, acquisition criteria, timing and stated capital position before making an introduction. Sellers must still complete their own financial and legal diligence.

What does “introduction-only” mean?

I identify and connect a potential seller-buyer fit. I do not represent either side, negotiate terms, provide legal or tax advice, hold funds, or guarantee a closing.

When is the matchmaking fee set?

Before an introduction. The amount, payer and closing trigger are documented in writing so both sides know the arrangement before names or confidential details are exchanged.

What happens when intake opens?

GoldenPath will review submitted information for fit. If there is a relevant next step, you will be contacted directly. Submitting will not obligate you to proceed.

Be ready for the right conversation.
