Trust & Safety

Every deal, protected end to end

Buying or selling a business is one of the most important transactions you'll make. Here's exactly how Summit AI keeps both sides safe.

Verified financials

Listings marked verified have had revenue and profit reconciled against primary sources — payment processors, ad networks, and analytics.

Secure escrow

Funds are held by a neutral escrow provider and released only when both parties confirm the asset transfer is complete.

Vetted buyers & sellers

Every account is identity-verified. Buyers are pre-qualified before they can make offers on higher-value listings.

Neutral mediation

If a dispute arises during transfer, our team steps in as a neutral party to resolve it fairly and keep the deal on track.

Privacy by design

Sensitive business data is shared only with qualified, NDA-bound buyers — never exposed publicly on a listing.

Fraud monitoring

Automated and human review continuously screen listings and accounts for fraud, misrepresentation, and abuse.

Frequently asked questions

What does "verified financials" actually mean?+

It means our team has connected to the seller's primary data sources and reconciled the reported revenue and profit. It is not a guarantee of future performance, but it confirms the historical numbers are real.

How are my funds protected during a purchase?+

Your funds sit in neutral escrow from the moment your offer is accepted until you confirm the assets have been transferred as agreed. Nothing is released to the seller before then.

What happens if something goes wrong during transfer?+

The escrow process pauses and our mediation team gets involved to resolve the issue. Funds are only released once both sides agree the transfer is complete.

Is my identity and business data kept private?+

Yes. Listings can be anonymized, and detailed financials or operational data are shared only with vetted, NDA-bound buyers.
