About the Consulting Service

Expert advice from practitioners who work on real SME transactions every day

Most business owners making a significant transaction decision — whether to raise funds, exit a business, explore a merger, or enter a joint venture — do so without access to an advisor who has actually closed similar deals in India.

IndiaBizForSale's consulting service gives you direct access to the team behind the platform — the same people who have worked on M&A, fundraising, and exit transactions for SMEs across India since 2013. Not a general business consultant. Not theoretical advice. A practitioner who has seen your situation play out before.

One 60-minute session. Online or in person. Focused entirely on your situation.

FAQs

A 1-on-1 advisory session with an IndiaBiz expert — online or phone (₹1,500 incl. GST, 30 mins) or in-person at our Ahmedabad office (₹5,000 incl. GST, 60 mins). It is for business owners and founders who are planning to raise funds, considering an exit or M&A, evaluating a joint venture, or facing any significant transaction decision where expert input would help. You set the agenda. The session is entirely focused on your situation.
