Through the website www.yon.it, you can publish anonymous advertisements for sales or acquisitions. YON uses AI, proprietary software, social media channels, and an international community to find counterparts who are genuinely interested. Once expressions of interest have been gathered, YON Advisors select the most suitable contacts for their clients and facilitate the start of negotiations.

• Entrepreneurs who want to sell their company, transfer shares or minority/majority share packages, patents.
• Investors seeking acquisition opportunities in the world of SMEs, industrial innovation, and startups (from a “corporate venture capital” perspective).
• M&A advisors and professionals who want to use the platform for their own clients, in the new “YON Business Share” mode, which allows industry specialists to publish opportunities and manage them themselves thanks to YON's visibility, community, and technology.

YON has two types of customers.

In B2C mode, they are those who:

• wish to sell a company, company shares, stocks, industrial patents;
• want to include their company in a larger group;
• aspire to make acquisitions to grow externally or invest in one or more SMEs;
• want to co-innovate by investing in a startup;
• are looking for new ideas by acquiring an industrial patent.

In B2B mode (YON Business Share), they are M&A PROFESSIONALS who want to use the Portal (by subscription) to promote their opportunities using digital tools, social media, software, and AI technology, as well as the YON community.

• B2C (Business to Client): designed for entrepreneurs and investors who want to publish a sales or acquisition opportunity with a non-exclusive mandate and no expiration date. The ad remains active until finalization or withdrawal.
• B2B (YON Business Share): aimed at M&A advisors and professionals who wish to manage transactions for their clients directly on the portal, with advanced tools such as dedicated CRM, customized branding, and scouting and telemarketing services.

• YON uses an intelligent matching system to automatically connect those seeking and those offering, based on economic, sectoral, geographical, and strategic parameters.
• The ability to generate negotiations in a very short time depends on YON's activity, which uses 1) the web, 2) social channels, 3) a community of professionals registered on the platform of over 3,500 individuals, 4) proprietary software, 5) artificial intelligence, 6) internal and external databases (with references to Italian and international companies) to select individuals potentially interested in each project.
• The seller or buyer (anonymous) can receive expressions of interest (in plain text) and initiate conversations with potential buyers or sellers, who are appropriately interviewed by YON Advisors, who verify their real intentions.
• Anyone can freely consult the marketplace to find interesting investment opportunities from around the world (the portal is translated into several languages).

No. Although based in Italy, YON is an international portal, translated into multiple languages and accessible from all over the world. Collaborations are also underway with foreign marketplaces, particularly in the United States, to facilitate cross-border transactions

The system guarantees maximum confidentiality for the parties involved, protecting sensitive data and allowing contact only between genuinely interested parties. The names of interested parties are revealed only after the digital signing of a specific CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT.

Confidentiality and anonymity are essential in our business. The entire Portal operates in “blind” (anonymous) mode. Only upon signing confidentiality agreements (NDAs) can detailed information be obtained in “clear” form, and only after express acceptance by our client...

YON operates on a non-exclusive basis; there is a fixed initial fee (calculated according to the type of services requested) for research activities and establishing initial contact with potential interested parties, as well as a variable percentage fee payable only if the transaction is successful.

This is not our main activity. However, it has often been the case that deals other than typical M&A deals have resulted between companies brought into contact with each other through YON.

Advertisements do not expire: they remain online until they are withdrawn or finalized.

YON's services are paid only by the customer who contacts us to publish their advertisement on the Portal.

Anyone can freely read every advertisement on the Portal and fill out the specific form to obtain initial anonymous information about the project in real time.

Subsequently, you will be contacted by YON staff to analyze the data in more detail, upon signing a specific non-disclosure agreement (NDA), which will be proposed to you.

The service is completely free of charge. YON is paid by those who come to us to publish their advertisements on the portal.

The information found on our Portal is all deliberately anonymous. To obtain more data and/or information, after speaking with YON Advisors, who can only provide more data in anonymous form, it is necessary to sign a confidentiality agreement (NDA) provided by YON.

You can contact the YON staff by filling out the form on the Portal to request more information, obtain an initial review of the project, and schedule a possible follow-up meeting.

YON's goal is to identify suitable opportunities through targeted research, enabling you to acquire a company or business unit, one or more productive assets, stock packages, and majority or minority shareholdings, based on your specific requirements, in Italy and abroad.

YON offers technical support from its Advisors, Industry Experts, for the sole purpose of selecting potential interested parties and facilitating the start and successful conclusion of negotiations, acting as “facilitators” of the negotiations.

YON does NOT offer professional services related to M&A transactions, for which each client chooses their own trusted professionals (financial advisors, accountants, lawyers, etc.).

No. YON does not replace the parties' professionals (accountants, lawyers, financial advisors). Instead, it offers technical and specialist support to facilitate contacts and speed up and facilitate negotiations through its Advisors, who are all Industry Experts.

This is not our core business. However, it has often happened that companies brought into contact with each other through YON have entered into agreements other than those typical of M&A.
