HOW IT WORKS

Our instant offer to cash in the bank in 90 days

We do the work upfront. You only pay us when competing buyers top our instant offer and you sell.

  1. 48 hours

    Instant offer

    A price, and how much of it is cash at closing.

  2. 30 days

    Numbers verified

    Our CPA does a quality of earnings review, as a buyer would.

  3. 60 days

    Buyers compete

    20–50 pre-qualified buyers bid for your business.

  4. 90 days

    Cash wired

    The money lands in your account.

$0 upfront. No higher offer, no fee.
Our guarantee

If no buyer tops our instant offer in 90 days, you pay nothing.

Our instant offer isn't a lowball. It's a fair price based on your numbers. Buyers competing for your business is what pushes it higher. No retainer, no engagement fee, no 12-month lock-in.

Common questions

The questions owners ask us most before they get their instant offer.

Still have questions? Book a call →
What's the catch?

There isn't one. We're paid a success fee only when a buyer pays more than our instant offer and you sell. If no buyer does, we eat the work.

Is the instant offer low on purpose?

No. It's a fair price based on your real numbers. Buyers pay more because they're competing for your business, not because our number is low.

When do I pay you?

Only at closing, out of the sale proceeds. Never before. No retainer, no engagement fee.

Why make an instant offer?

Because you shouldn't sign a 12-month contract to find out what your business is worth.

Is the instant offer binding?

No. It's a fair price based on your numbers. It's the starting point buyers compete from.

How long does it take?

Your instant offer in 48 hours. Numbers verified by day 30. Buyer offers by day 60. Target close by day 90.

What do you need from me?

Three years of financials and a 3-minute survey. Connect QuickBooks, Xero or Sage, or upload your statements.

Will anyone know?

No. Buyers see no name, no logo and a broad region. You approve every word first, and buyers sign an NDA before they learn who you are.

Do I have to sell?

No. If no offer is right for you, walk away. You pay nothing.

Who is it for?

Owners with $1M+ in annual profit. We take a limited number each month, so every instant offer gets a real look.
