On the homepage is says 44M completed sales. Does this mean you've made 44 million sales? Isn't this a new startup?
@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!
Chuffed to introduce our newly designed platform and get your feedback!
Dealflow is building a powerful network of investors and entrepreneurs, as the leading destination to buy and sell online companies in the $100,000 - $20M range.
With our new platform, investors can create a profile detailing the types of companies they are looking to acquire, which our deal-sourcing system will keep on file and automatically match with active listings, off-market deals, and pre-market opportunities.
We have also raised the bar with respect to the data protection and security of entrepreneurs and their companies; by adding a one-time ID verification requirement, which investors must satisfy before they are able to access information on the companies we have listed for sale.
I’m curious to know what you think! Happy to answer any questions about the new site design, platform features, or our M&A services :)
@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.
@al_pryor Thanks for asking Al! The process is quick and hassle-free, simply visit https://dealflowbrokerage.com/bu... to get started or email us directly at info@dealflowbrokerage.com
One of the only high quality markets for this type of site for sale.
Pros:Consistently finds interesting sites for sale.
Cons:Sellers have very over-inflated ideas of what their sites are worth.
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!
Awesome product, love the look of the interface.... not sure how I feel about facial recognition technology? Seems to be the way everyone is heading but how necessary is it?
@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!
I've been fortunate to work with the team at Dealflow for nearly two years now. I recommend them to anyone who is looking to buy or sell an online business with real value.
Pros:Skilled team, high integrity. You can expect your exit or acquisition to be handled by true professionals who understand online business.
Cons:It's a relatively new brokerage and, as such, their network is naturally focused on quality while quantity catches up.
Dealflow has an amazing group of staff and employees behind the beautiful website. Thank you for all your help. Cheers
I've been considering my online business in the next couple of years, and so glad this exists as the idea of the process gives me a headache.
Great product and team. These people are the experts when it comes to online business purchase and selling. Don't let the age of the company fool you, the people behind the curtain have been doing this for years and have a ton of experience.
Wow what a great idea! I know a ton of people who have been struggling to find an appropriate place to sell their online business, this is perfect.
An great start-up. Great staff.
Pros:very cool idea
Cons:I can't always get online
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.
