Selling a business shouldn't feel like guesswork
Millions of small business owners build valuable companies — but when it comes time to sell, most have no idea what their business is truly worth.
Most small businesses are sold in the dark.
We believe business owners deserve better.
Owners rely on rough multiples, inconsistent advice, and brokers who only get paid when a deal happens.
Buyers struggle to understand real performance and risk. And valuable businesses are often sold for far less than they should be.
Handover gives small businesses the tools, data and guidance to understand their value, improve it, and approach a sale with confidence.
The problems we solve
The traditional process works against business owners. We're building a platform that puts the power back in their hands.
Owners feel unprepared
Most founders don’t know what drives valuation until they’re already trying to sell.
Deals rely on guesswork
Valuations are often based on rough rules of thumb and inconsistent advice.
Value gets left on the table
Without clear data and preparation, owners risk underselling years of hard work.
We want selling a business to feel clear, fair and data-driven.
Whether you plan to sell in 6 months or 6 years, Handover helps you understand what your business could be worth — and how to make it worth more.
The team behind Handover
Built by founders, for founders.
Founded and sold investUP, the UK's first P2P lending yield aggregator, before co-founding TechTree as CTO and joining Summer.fi — the DeFi lending platform spun out of MakerDAO. Started his career as a software engineer at comparethemarket.com and Advent International. Built Handover because he kept seeing small business owners get bad deals due to a lack of good data.
Spent three years as Head of Design at MakerDAO, leading the products that helped grow DAI from zero to over $10 billion in circulation. Then led design at Summer.fi, one of the largest DeFi lending platforms. Before crypto, he designed financial products at Deutsche Bank, Lloyd's, and Vanquis Bank. Co-founded Handover to bring that same rigour to small business valuations.
