    Online Business Acquisitions (M&A) - AMA

    EXECUTION 
    No....Once in a while flippa might have something decent but overall their inventory isn't very good, often see illegal sites on there, scams, etc.. As far as verification - I suppose some might be easier to verify than others if the revenue is coming from a single source which you can track...

    Online Business Acquisitions (M&A) - AMA

    EXECUTION 
    I wouldn't say necessarily assume a listed company is worse than a non-listed company. You should however keep one thing in mind. A broker selling a business represents the seller only. He is incentivized to sell the business for as much money as possible. Brokers are fine with selling...

    Online Business Acquisitions (M&A) - AMA

    EXECUTION 
    I'm not in HR so I don't have all the details around that. But when we acquire the business, we ideally acquire it with a full team in place and prefer to promote someone from within to step up as the operator. You don't always need to pay a % of upside to an operator. I personally don't see...

    Online Business Acquisitions (M&A) - AMA

    EXECUTION 
    Deal Breakers: If a business is illegal or violates the terms of service (see these frequently) We used to acquire content websites but have since stopped. Content sites (especially sites like Amazon affiliate sites) have one point of failure. If organic rankings/traffic drop, there is no way...

    Online Business Acquisitions (M&A) - AMA

    EXECUTION 
    1. Yes we are one of those companies only interested in ebitda. We care about other intangibles but only if the ebitda is healthy. I see lots of companies for sale who have 6 or 7 figures in revenue, operating at a loss, have raised funding and are asking millions for their business. I doubt...

    Online Business Acquisitions (M&A) - AMA

    EXECUTION 
    When we first started, we had a different business model. We would help acquire the businesses for investors and run them for a management fee. Over time, that model changed to where we would just acquire them for ourselves. When we acquire them, we aren't rolling them up into 1 company or...

    EXECUTION 
    Hey everyone, It's been a very long time since I was active on this community but I still drop in from time to time to read some great posts and knowledge bombs here. I've seen a few people post threads here asking about acquisitions, microacquisitions, etc.. so I thought I would jump in to do...

    Buy a SAAS licence and become a CEO in one day!

    SAAS / APPS 
    Am I missing something here? Codecanyon/themeforest and their other sites sell software, plugins, themes, etc.. for end users. I've never seen them sell anything with resale rights where you can sell it to other people

    My herb business idea just destroyed !

    IDEA 
    Actually, do you mind sharing the information of that company? I currently have tonic products I sell (adaptogenic herbal blend). The company I source it from creates the formulas with their herbs they grow (and sometimes source if they can't get them). However, the prices are expensive and...

    Anything you do with the list he is selling is either illegal or against the TOS of a company where you're importing it.

    Launched Supp. Company, now how to market?

    EXECUTION 
    FYI...if you want instagram influencers to post about your product, sending them the product won't do it. You'll also need to pay them. I recently bought a company and we have some products that are similar to yours (although in liquid form). If you want an idea of what you'll have to pay...
