Over time, we noticed a pattern on IndiaBizForSale.
Business owners were doing everything right — searching for the right buyers and investors, using introduction credits to access contact details, and actively reaching out through calls, WhatsApp messages, and emails to start conversations.
But sometimes, those efforts were going nowhere.
Not because the match was wrong —
but because the buyer was no longer active.
The problem
Buyer intent changes over time.
Some buyers:
- already acquire a business
- pause their search
- or simply stop responding
Until now, proposals were sent instantly — regardless of when a buyer was last active.
This led to (sometimes):
- no responses
- wasted introduction credits
- and effort that didn’t convert into real conversations
What we built
To solve this, we introduced a simple check:
Buyer Activeness Verification
If a buyer hasn’t been active for 180+ days, we verify their intent before sending your proposal.
How it works
The flow stays simple for you.
You click Send Proposal to investors of your choice, just like you always do.
If the buyer has been inactive, we pause the introduction and show you a message that the request is now in Waiting.
At this stage, our support team reaches out to the investor to check if they are still actively looking to buy, invest, or partner.
- If we’re unable to get a confirmation
The investor profile is put On Hold, and your introduction credit is fully reversed. - If the investor’s intent has changed
We update the profile accordingly, and your credit is reversed. - If the investor confirms they are active
The introduction is completed, and both of you receive each other’s contact details as usual.
When a buyer is active
The introduction is completed immediately.
Both sides receive contact details via:
So your conversation can start without delay.
No action needed
This works automatically. The next time you send a proposal to a buyer who is inactive for 180+ days, the system takes care of everything.
What’s happening in the background
We’re also keeping buyer data up to date on an ongoing basis.
- Buyers inactive for 180+ days are regularly contacted
- Outreach is done via email and WhatsApp
- Active buyers are reactivated
- Inactive ones are updated or put on hold
This ensures that the buyers you see on the platform reflect current intent.
Why this matters
A proposal is not just a click.
It takes effort to:
- identify the right buyer
- decide to reach out
- and share your business proposal
This update ensures that effort goes to buyers who are actually ready to engage. Team IndiaBizForSale
