What does it cost to sell a store on Kairos?
Listing on Kairos is free and verification is free. You only pay a success fee when a deal closes. Under EUR 100,000 (self-serve), the fee is 5% of the sale price, minimum EUR 500. At EUR 100,000 and up (full-service), it is 12% on the first EUR 500,000 and 9% on the portion above that, minimum EUR 10,000. Never a fee before a deal actually closes.
Why there is no listing fee
A listing fee makes the marketplace money on stores that never sell. Kairos only earns when a seller does, which keeps the incentive pointed the right way: verified listings that actually close.
What the success fee covers
Verification of the store's numbers, the listing itself, buyer NDA handling, the deal room, and escrow coordination through to handover. There are no add-on fees along the way.
