• Private listings represent business owners we’ve worked with to provide a free valuation. While these owners are not actively looking to sell, they are open to considering offers if the right opportunity arises.

• When you express interest in a private listing, the owner receives a notification and can view your profile. Sometimes, simply seeing a serious and qualified buyer is enough to spark their interest in selling. If the owner decides to move forward, Baton will contact you to facilitate the process.

• On average, about 10% of private listings convert into sales after an initial expression of interest. To increase your chances of engaging in an off-market deal, we recommend reaching out to at least 10 or more private listings or submitting an offer to demonstrate your intent.

No, currently we’re not supporting data rooms for Private Listings, but if a buyer is interested in more information they can ask via the platform.

First, you should make sure your Baton profile has a complete bio as that’s the first thing the owner will see. Next, you can submit an Informal Offer on the platform to show how you would think about the deal.
