What is free.
Every Ayebot tool is free: the buyer finder, the sector buyer data, the readiness check and the valuation range. None needs an account, and none asks for your email before it shows a result.
What is not free is a sale mandate, which is advisory work by the Growth Alliance Capital team with fees agreed per engagement.

Each tool has a short form under its result. Gwee Yi Chen reviews your inputs and replies personally. It is confidential: no pitch, no obligation, and what you share is used only for your process. If you tap the WhatsApp button instead, it opens a message with your result pre-filled, and nothing is sent until you send it.
What is not free
A sale mandate. Running a sale is advisory work by the Growth Alliance Capital team, and M&A engagements are contracted with Bbreaker Private Limited (UEN 201622799H). Fees are agreed per engagement. To discuss one, message Gwee Yi Chen on WhatsApp or email yichen@gacapital.com.sg.
What M&A advisers charge in the market
Published figures give a sense of scale. They are not Growth Alliance Capital's fees, and real quotes vary by country, deal size and adviser.
| Source | What it covers | Published figures |
|---|---|---|
| Japan SME Agency, SME M&A Guidelines, 3rd edition (August 2024), p.65 | Example Lehman scale: the success fee rate steps down band by band as the value rises | 5% of the first ¥500m, 4% from ¥500m to ¥1bn, 3% from ¥1bn to ¥5bn, 2% from ¥5bn to ¥10bn, 1% above ¥10bn. One example only; rates differ by adviser. |
| Firmex, Axial and Divestopedia, M&A Fee Guide 2022-2023, North American edition | Survey of 523 middle-market professionals, late 2022: most common success fee on a US$5m deal | 6.1% to 8% |
| Same survey | Most common success fee on a US$10m deal | 4.1% to 6% |
| Same survey | Most common success fee on US$20m and US$50m deals | 2.1% to 4% |
| Same survey | Most common success fee on US$100m and US$150m deals | 1.1% to 2%. Overall, 81% of advisers charged an engagement fee. |
Advisers and brokers in Singapore that publish their fees quote success fees for their own services from about 1% to 10% of the sale price, and four of the five Singapore fee pages we reviewed on 9 October 2026 say nothing is payable before completion.
Compare more than the headline rate
- The base. Japan's guideline notes that a fee may be calculated on the sale price, on total assets transferred (the price plus debt, so more debt means a higher fee) or on net assets.
- The minimum. The guideline says many advisers set a minimum fee, because a scale alone yields a small fee on a small deal.
