Thanks for your review Seth! Naturally, every business owner is looking to get top dollar for the hard work they have put into their business over the years. However, the listing price does not reflect the owner’s expectation, it reflects our professional opinion on the current market value of the property. I do agree with what you’re saying though! Many business owners want to exit for a price above market value. Which is why the properties we currently have listed for sale are only a small fraction of the businesses we are currently working with. This is because the majority of clients we consult with use our exit planning services to align their sales price expectations with market value in the months or years to come. With that said, if there is a particular listing you believe to be over-priced, I recommend teeing up a call to discuss with the M&A advisor representing the sale!

@jamie_toyne This seems really interesting. I was wondering why someone hadn't build that earlier ;-) I will send 2 companies your way soon as they're reaching a stage where they want to sell for <1M.

@ben_winding sorry for the confusion there! We've been doing internet business M&A since late 2013. The reason we're on Product Hunt is because we just launched our new platform, which has a some new features that we're really excited about. The '$44M completed sales' statistic is the total transaction value of deals we have successfully closed for our clients. Let me know if you have any other q's!

@emma_white Answer: Cheers Emma! Great questions. Great question Emma! Is is it necessary? We believe so, yes. The biggest risk associated with listing an online business for sale is that of proprietary information being leaked or accessed by existing competitors and new entrants. The result can not only hurt the chances of a successful exit, but have a damaging impact on the business’ ongoing performance. Whilst NDA’s are still a valid means of protection, they are effectively mute and unenforceable if any Tom, Dick and Harry can sign one and gain access. By having solid, verifiable information on every person within our network, we have have a lot more control over confidentiality and compliance. We license a technology from a GDPR compliant 3rd party identity verification company. Do we have another verification option? Yes! Understandably, not everyone is comfortable uploading their personal details onto a 3rd party platform in order to verify themselves. This why we offer video conference interviews, where users can connect with a member of the Dealflow team and manually identify their identity. This can be a great opportunity to ask any questions and discuss your acquisition goals!

Hey @mbodulow There are two questions, so let’s tackle them separately. Buyers - as @jamie_toyne covered above, we are the first internet M&A firm to introduce mandatory identity verification, which all users must satisfy before they can access the businesses we have listed for sale. Our goal is to keep tire kickers and information gatherers at the door, while only allowing in a group of qualified investors serious about making web based acquisitions. Our new platform also tracks buyer activity, so it is relatively easy for us to detect if a buyer starts behaving suspiciously. Sellers - we heavily vet and qualify each business we list for sale, as well each respective business owner. This includes revenue verification (bank records, tax returns, etc.) and access to analytics data, as well as subjecting the business to many other due diligence checks and forms of analysis. That said, it is on the onus of the buyer to complete their own due diligence before committing to an acquisition. But to answer your question, we are very selective about the businesses we represent and the people we work with, and we only put our brand backing behind businesses we truly believe are high-quality acquisition opportunities.
