The deal journey
How much of the journey each one is built for
Murphy covers nearly all of this, with valuation and equipment appraisal in house. The difference is how: an advisor in one region, whose capacity is their own hours, rather than a system a whole team uses at once.

Where the deal lives
Stop asking where the deal stands
With a broker, the state of your deal lives in somebody else's inbox and head. Here it is a board everyone with access can look at, at any hour, without asking.
- Stages, tasks, risks, offers and closing actions in one place.
- The Deal Room Agent works the board, not just reports on it.
- Your advisor, your team and the other side see the same thing.
Which one, and when
Both cases, put fairly
Where Murphy Business Sales may be the better fit
Murphy may be the better fit when you want experienced advisory close to the business and a wider set of services than a sale alone. It reports more than $4.3 billion in completed transactions through offices in 38 states and Canada, and offers lower-middle-market M&A, business valuation, consulting and machinery and equipment appraisal. For an asset-heavy business in North America, that in-house appraisal capability is a genuine advantage.
Where SellAnyBiz may be the better fit
- You are buying or selling outside North America - we cover the UAE, UK, USA and Italy.
- You want to see where the deal stands yourself rather than wait for an update.
- You are an independent advisor who wants the infrastructure without joining a network.
- You want off-market origination - researched companies and approached owners - feeding the pipeline.
Can they be used together?
Yes. Keep Murphy for valuation, appraisal and negotiation, and use SellAnyBiz to hold the documents, control the data room and track the deal to signature. We only claim an integration where a live one exists.
