What the UAE buyer data shows
The problem isn't a lack of businesses to look at.It's moving from looking to acquiring.
We see the whole UAE buyer funnel, because the enquiries come through us. The drop-off is not at the top.

SellAnyBiz internal UAE buyer data, last two years. Figures are rounded.
How opportunities are found
We don't search one marketplace. We search the market.
A business that fits your criteria is rarely sitting on a portal waiting for you. So the search runs across six channels at once, and most of them are not public.
Tahir's network
Eighteen years of relationships across UAE business owners, advisers and investors — usually the first place a quiet sale gets mentioned.
Other UAE brokers & M&A advisers
Working with other brokerages and advisory firms across the Emirates, including mandates that never reach a public listing.
SellAnyBiz
Our own marketplace is one input among six — useful, never the boundary of the search.
Direct business owners
Owners approached directly, including businesses that were never formally for sale until the right buyer appeared.
Private introductions
Introductions made in confidence, where a seller will only talk to someone who arrives vouched for.
Targeted off-market outreach
Once your criteria are set, we go looking on purpose — named sectors, named areas, owners contacted one at a time.
Six channels in. One shortlist out — built against your criteria, not our inventory.
Our job isn't to sell you a listing. It's to find the right business for your criteria.
Buying from the UK, Europe or anywhere else
Start looking before you fly.
You do not need to be in Dubai to begin. The first months of this work happen on calls and over email, wherever you are — and they are the months that decide what you eventually walk into.
While you are still overseas
- Define your acquisition criteria — sector, size, budget, and what you will not buy.
- Source live and off-market opportunities across the UAE against those criteria.
- Screen businesses on the numbers before anyone spends money on a flight.
- Open conversations with sellers and their advisers, with Tahir in the room.
By the time you land in Dubai
- A shortlist of businesses that already fit your criteria.
- Seller meetings booked, not requested.
- Site visits scheduled around the days you are actually here.
Don't fly to Dubai and start looking. Start looking before you fly.
The acquisition process
One route. Six stages. Twelve sessions.
The same six stages every serious acquirer works through — except you are not working through them alone.
1
Strategy
What you want to own, what you can fund, and what you will not buy.
2
Origination
Six sourcing channels working against those criteria at once.
3
Screening
The numbers, the risks, and the questions worth asking early.
4
Deal
Offer, structure, diligence and negotiation, with Tahir alongside you.
5
Acquire
Completion, payment terms, handover and transfer of the business.
6
Operate
The first 3 months of ownership, with support through the transition.
12 one-to-one acquisition sessions with Tahir across 6 months — roughly one every two weeks — plus 3 months of support once you have acquired.
That is the whole process. The next step is an application.
The guarantee: Acquire within 6 months or your qualifying $699 membership fee back — subject to eligibility and participation requirements. Terms & Conditions apply.

Who you are working with
The person across the table for six months.
Tahir Javed Kashif is a Dubai-based entrepreneur, M&A consultant and business broker, Founder & CEO of SellAnyBiz.com, and host of the Just Business Talk podcast.
The SellAnyBiz Academy Inner Circle page states 18+ years in business building, transactions and acquisitions, with experience across the UAE, UK, USA and Europe. That work has been with entrepreneurs, business owners, brokers, family offices, private equity participants and professional advisors — both sides of the table, and the professions in between.
SellAnyBiz is an AI deal platform that connects sellers, buyers, brokers, advisors and acquisition teams in one workflow — the same infrastructure members draw on.
“My goal is to make buying and selling a business more accessible, structured, and trusted, with AI doing the heavy lifting and real advisors guiding the deal.”
Research
Search the marketplace, then research companies and the people behind them so conversations start with context.
Build
AI-supported valuations, NDAs and LOIs drafted from a listing or company in minutes.
Run
A deal pipeline with tasks, buyer interest and next steps in one view.
Share
Gated data rooms shared after NDA approval, organised for due diligence.
Just Business Talk is the public face of that experience: ongoing conversations with global entrepreneurs, M&A professionals, franchise specialists and business leaders. According to the SellAnyBiz Academy profile, Tahir has been associated with facilitating around $100M in business transactions — presented here as an attributed claim rather than a headline figure.
Just Business Talk

Thumbnails come from the public YouTube channel. Each one opens on YouTube.
The circle itself
You are also joining a room worth being in.
Membership puts you among entrepreneurs, buyers, investors and operators doing the same thing you are — most of them a few steps further along.
Shared experience
People a year or two ahead of you, who will tell you what the deal actually cost them.
Trusted introductions
Introductions that arrive vouched for — advisers, lenders, operators and sellers.
Discussing opportunities
Somewhere to think out loud about an opportunity before you commit to it.
Complementary members
Operators and investors whose skills and appetite complement your own.
Working together, where it fits
Where it genuinely fits, members explore an opportunity together — independently, on their own terms.
Why not do this yourself
Searching alone versus searching inside the circle.
Most buyers lose years to noise: the wrong opportunities, missing context and no one to sanity-check the numbers. The difference is structure and access.
| Part of the search | Searching alone | Inside Inner Circle — Dubai |
|---|---|---|
| Deal discovery | Refreshing public listing portals and cold outreach. | Six sourcing channels worked against your criteria, most of them off-market. |
| Deal context | A teaser, a number, and guesswork about motivation. | Available deal context, seller motivation and the questions worth asking early. |
| Seller access | Gatekeepers, slow replies, no way to qualify quickly. | Conversations opened directly with owners and their advisers, with Tahir alongside. |
| Expert input | Paying hourly before you know if the deal is real. | Sessions with lawyers, accountants, lenders, brokers and operators when scheduled. |
| Peer network | Searching in isolation, repeating others' mistakes. | A private circle of buyers, operators and investors sharing live experience. |
| Post-acquisition | Day one after closing, on your own. | 3 months of structured support and relevant ecosystem introductions. |

Your acquisition criteria, defined
Onboarding to define sector, geography, budget, return profile and operator preference in writing.

Six sourcing channels run against your criteria — network, brokers, SellAnyBiz, direct owners, private introductions and targeted outreach.
Off-market opportunities
Early visibility of sourced targets where confidentiality and seller permissions allow.
Current deal presentations
Selected live and on-market opportunities, presented with the deal context that is available.
Seller & broker conversations
Direct Q&A when the relevant seller or adviser takes part.
Valuation & deal review
Practical input on price, normalised earnings, risks and what to investigate. Not formal legal, tax or investment advice.
LOI, negotiation & structure guidance
Practical templates and process support. Professional legal advice remains separate.
Due-diligence roadmap

Financing & capital introductions
Relevant introductions where possible. No funding is guaranteed or arranged on your behalf.
The private member circle
A member group for opportunities, updates, referrals and peer networking — with strict anti-spam and confidentiality rules.
Expert sessions

Session notes & opportunity summaries
Written summaries where available and where sharing is permitted.
Priority SellAnyBiz advisor support
Priority access to the advisory team for the duration of your membership.
Post-acquisition support
3 months after closing: handover priorities, seller transition planning, key operational questions, service-provider introductions and relevant SellAnyBiz ecosystem support.
6-month acquisition guarantee
Take part properly for the full 6-month term. If you have not acquired a business by the end of it, you can ask for your qualifying $699 membership fee back — subject to eligibility and participation requirements.
Delivery scope for post-acquisition support depends on the acquisition itself. Specialist legal, accounting, tax and operating services introduced through the ecosystem may carry separate fees. A success fee of 5% up to and including AED 4M, or 2% above it, applies on a successfully completed qualifying acquisition. Membership does not promise that a transaction will close, that financing will be approved, or that any return will be achieved.
