Business Exits Buyer AI Communication Policy

 

At Business Exits, we are strongly AI-forward.

We actively use AI in our own operations, and our partners have also built AI products for the M&A ecosystem, including VettingVault.com and BrokerVault.ai. We believe AI can improve diligence, sharpen analysis, and help serious buyers ask better questions faster.

That said, we are setting a clear standard for communication quality.

Our Policy

  1. We embrace AI.
    Use it to prepare, analyze, and accelerate your process. We welcome thoughtful AI-assisted communication.
  2. We do not accept AI-generated inbox slop.
    We will not tolerate low-quality, auto-generated outreach that wastes time or slows deals.
  3. Use AI to improve your questions—not replace your thinking.
    Buyer questions should demonstrate relevance, specificity, and comprehension of the opportunity.

What We Are Seeing (and Rejecting)

  • Emails sent in raw Markdown formatting instead of clean business communication.
  • Long lists of irrelevant questions disconnected from the listing and CIM.
  • Extremely vague questions that are clearly mass-generated by AI.
  • Generic prompts turned into “checklist dumps” with no indication of real review.

These are signs of low-effort outreach, and they will be deprioritized.

What We Expect from Serious Buyers

  • Read the materials first. Reference specific details from the teaser, CIM, or financials.
  • Ask focused questions. Prioritize questions that materially impact valuation, risk, transition, or structure.
  • Show your reasoning. Briefly explain why you are asking and what decision the answer informs.
  • Keep communication professional. Clear, concise, relevant communication gets faster and better responses.

Bottom Line

We are pro-AI and actively building with it. But we are anti-noise.

If you use AI to become a better buyer, we will engage quickly and seriously. If you use AI to generate low-quality volume, do not expect priority attention.

Business Exits reserves the right to prioritize buyer communications based on quality, relevance, and demonstrated engagement with provided materials.
