Buyers and matching

The right buyers for every listing, already on your books.

Keep every buyer's budget, industries and regions. When a listing comes in, Batonford suggests who to call, then tracks the NDA and IM for each one.

Suggested buyers for Harbourside Café, asking $420,000 in hospitality in New South Wales. Priya Shah fits on budget, industry and region; Tom Okafor on budget, region and verified funds; Greenleaf Hospitality on industry and funds. Priya is added to the listing, her NDA is sent and signed and the IM is released. Another buyer's NDA has been unsigned for seven days, so a reminder to chase it is raised.

Before you ask

Questions about buyers.

Can I bring buyers in from a portal?
Yes. Import an enquiry export as a CSV. Buyers already on file are matched by email or phone and only their gaps are filled.
Can one buyer be on several listings?
Yes. One profile, with a separate stage, NDA and IM record on each listing they're interested in.
How are matches scored?
Price against budget, the industries and regions they want and whether their funds are verified. A buyer who excludes the industry or can't reach the price isn't suggested.
