Lumaya is a private marketplace built for people who believe small businesses deserve better. Better exits. Better opportunities. Better outcomes for founders, buyers, and local economies.
Small businesses are the backbone of the Swiss economy, yet the process of buying or selling one is often unnecessarily complex, opaque, and misaligned with the people behind it.
Too many founders struggle to exit the businesses they spent years building. Too many buyers waste time navigating noisy platforms that prioritize volume over quality. And too often, great businesses are treated like commodities rather than legacies.
Our mission is to change that.
Our process is designed to protect value on both sides of the transaction. By qualifying buyers, curating opportunities, and prioritizing discretion, we create the conditions for better, more aligned outcomes.
We do not list everything. Every business on Lumaya is reviewed and selectively presented to ensure quality, relevance, and seriousness. This keeps the platform focused and valuable for both buyers and sellers.
Access is intentional. Buyers complete verification and profiling to ensure credibility and alignment before engaging with opportunities, saving time and protecting sellers from unnecessary exposure.
Beyond filters and data points, we take a hands-on approach to matching. This allows us to connect the right people based on intent, experience, and long-term vision, not just checklist criteria.

Every deal should feel secure, fair, and balanced. We align the interests of sellers and buyers so both sides walk away knowing they've been treated with respect and fairness.
We preserve jobs, communities, and local wealth by keeping SMEs alive through successful ownership transitions. We enable new generations of entrepreneurs to step in, ensuring continuity and long-term resilience.
Behind every deal are people, families, and communities. We lead with kindness, and collaboration, because business transfers aren't just transactions, they're relationships.
Whether you are preparing to sell or searching for your next opportunity, we invite you to take the next step and start a conversation.
