Anthony Wayne Business Exchange will assist you through the process of buying a business on a confidential basis in conjunction with your professional advisors. The representation with our sellers requires AWBE to obtain an executed confidentiality agreement and a buyer registration before discussing the details of the business for sale. These forms can be obtained from AWBE by completing our Buyer Registration.

Confidentiality is very important in the sale process and we protect that confidentiality by requiring all of our buyers to sign our Non-disclosure Agreement and complete a Buyer Registration. Please feel free to view our Non-Disclosure/Non-Circumvention Confidentiality Agreement. After viewing, please sign, then e-mail to den@anthonywayne.com.
