The Smarter Way to Sell Your Business in the UAE

Most GCC advisors charge retainers upfront, take 6–12 months, and still bring you the wrong buyers. Dopamine does the opposite.

Answers to frequently asked questions.

Talk to us

What does it cost to sell my business with Dopamine?

+

$0 upfront. Dopamine operates on a success-fee only model — we earn when you close. No retainers, no monthly fees.

How long does the process take?

+

Our target is your first offer within 6 weeks of signing the mandate. That timeline depends on how prepared your financials are and how cleanly your business fits buyer criteria — but that's the benchmark we work to. Most traditional advisors in the UAE take six months just to get to market.

What documents do I need to get started?

+

Nothing upfront. Start with the calculator — just basic information about your business, or a 10 minute conversation. We'll guide you on exactly what documents you'll need once we understand your deal profile. Most sellers are surprised how light the initial ask is.

What if my financials aren't audited?

+

Not a blocker. We work with management accounts and connect you with the right auditors to make sure your financials are deal-ready. We'll help you present your financials in the most credible way for buyers, and flag what to clean up before going to market.

How do you find buyers?

+

Dopamine maintains a network of 300+ pre-qualified acquirers. We match your business against their specific criteria — sector, deal size, country, and strategic fit — before making any introductions.

Do I need to sign an exclusivity agreement?

+

Yes — exclusivity is standard practice in any credible M&A process. It signals to buyers that you're committed, which drives better offers.

What sectors do you cover?

+

Technology, F&B, Healthcare, Business Services, Manufacturing, Education, Retail, and Logistics across the UAE and GCC. Other sectors are assessed individually — if your business has strong fundamentals, we'll tell you honestly whether we're the right fit.
