BizBay connects business buyers, sellers and investors in one place. Owners list a running business, a fitted space like a salon, café or office, or an opportunity looking for investors; buyers search by country and type, set alerts and message sellers; and the operator verifies and manages every listing from one admin panel.
Listings, deals and transaction value are the client's to share, and they are not on this page — the figures on the screens above are sample data. What is on this page is what was built and why it was built that way.
BizBay is a private marketplace for businesses. Sellers list a full business with its assets and operations, a fitted business space ready to trade, or an opportunity looking for investors. Buyers search across countries — Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Egypt and beyond — filter by industry, see each listing's price, location and views, and contact the seller.
The brief was a bilingual website for all three sides of the market and an admin panel where the operator verifies businesses, manages users, subscriptions and payments, answers support chats and reads the numbers across the platform.
Property portals list buildings and classifieds list goods, but a running restaurant, a fitted salon or a stake in a growing company fits neither. Sellers relied on word of mouth and brokers, buyers had nowhere to search, and investors had no way to find businesses looking for funding.
A marketplace for businesses also has to earn trust: listings need checking before they go live, buyers need to reach sellers privately, and the operator needs to see every listing, user and payment in one place.
BizBay gives each kind of deal its own listing type, puts them all in one search, and routes every listing through the admin panel before it goes live.
Sell a full business with all its assets and operations, sell a fitted business space — offices, salons, cafés, restaurants — or present an opportunity to investors.
Buyers and investors filter by country and business type, see price, location on a map and views for each listing, and set alerts for new businesses that match.
Sellers choose a listing package and pay through UPayments, MyFatoorah, KNET or Tap; each business is reviewed, and the operator tracks verified and unverified listings.
Buyers message sellers in real time over sockets, push notifications and emails announce new listings and replies, and an in-app helpdesk handles questions.
The whole site switches between English and Arabic, with RTL layouts, social logins and Firebase Auth for sign-in.
Stats and revenue analytics, business and user management, subscriptions, payment methods, transactions, categories, newsletters, queries and support chat — with role-based access for the operator's team.

Building a marketplace for something portals don't list?
The website and the admin panel share one Node.js and MongoDB backend, so a listing, a user or a payment is the same record for the seller who created it, the buyer who found it and the operator who verified it.
