Confidentiality Policy

Our Commitment

Qualins Business Solutions understands that the decision to buy or sell a business involves sensitive financial, operational, and personal information. Unauthorized disclosure of such information can harm employees, client relationships, supplier contracts, and the competitive position of the business involved.

We are unconditionally committed to handling all client information — whether received from sellers, prospective buyers, or third-party advisors — with the utmost discretion, care, and professionalism throughout every stage of our engagement.

Scope of Confidentiality

Our confidentiality obligations apply to all information that is not publicly available and that is disclosed to us in connection with a business transaction or advisory engagement, including but not limited to:

• Financial statements, tax records, and revenue/profitability data
• Client and customer lists, supplier agreements, and vendor contracts
• Employee information, compensation structures, and staffing details
• Business processes, trade secrets, proprietary methods, and systems
• The existence of a potential sale, acquisition, or business transition
• Negotiation positions, offer terms, and deal structures
• Personal financial information of owners or principals

Non-Disclosure Agreements

Before releasing any confidential information about a listed business to a prospective buyer, Qualins Business Solutions requires the execution of a formal Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). This agreement legally binds the recipient to maintain strict confidentiality regarding all information shared during the due diligence and evaluation process.

Our NDA process is designed to:

• Verify the identity and seriousness of prospective buyers prior to information release
• Clearly define the scope and limitations of permitted information use
• Establish enforceable legal remedies in the event of a breach
• Protect both the seller's business interests and the integrity of the transaction

Buyer & Seller Protection

For Sellers: We market your business opportunity in a manner that protects your identity and business details until qualified buyers have been vetted and NDAs executed. We will never disclose the name or location of your business in public marketing materials without your explicit written consent.

For Buyers: Information you share with us regarding your financial capacity, acquisition criteria, and strategic intentions is treated with equal confidentiality. This information is used solely to match you with appropriate opportunities and will not be disclosed to sellers or third parties beyond what is necessary for the transaction.

Third-Party Advisors

In the ordinary course of facilitating a transaction, it may be necessary to involve other professional advisors such as lawyers, accountants, or financing specialists. Any such third parties engaged by Qualins Business Solutions are required to adhere to equivalent confidentiality standards and are only provided with information strictly necessary for their role in the transaction.

We do not engage third parties for marketing, data aggregation, or any purpose unrelated to the transaction without your explicit consent.

Exclusions

Our confidentiality obligations do not apply to information that:

• Was already in the public domain at the time of disclosure through no fault of Qualbiz
• Becomes publicly available through lawful means after disclosure
• Was independently known to Qualbiz prior to the engagement without restriction
• Is required to be disclosed by applicable law, regulatory authority, or court order — in which case we will notify the affected party to the extent legally permissible

Duration of Confidentiality

Our confidentiality obligations remain in effect for the duration of any engagement and continue for a period of not less than two (2) years following the conclusion of a transaction or the termination of our engagement, regardless of whether a transaction was successfully completed.

Certain categories of particularly sensitive information — such as trade secrets and proprietary business processes — are treated as confidential indefinitely.

Breach of Confidentiality

Any unauthorized disclosure, misuse, or breach of confidential information is taken extremely seriously. Qualins Business Solutions will take all appropriate steps to address such breaches, including notifying affected parties and cooperating with any legal processes that may follow.
