MenuWhere can we list our app business for sale?
My partner and I have decided we'd like to explore selling our App business which is in the relationship/personal development space. Outside of reaching out to potentials that are in our space any suggestions on how to get eyes on it?
Answers
These might be useful:
https://flippa.com
https://exitround.com
And for selling websites:
https://empireflippers.com
https://feinternational.com
best of luck
I'd also check out https://transferslot.com/
I am pretty sure exitround is inactive and don't think it is the best match for app sales.
Flippa, as Lee stated, is a great place to list your app. Also is Fliptopia. https://www.fliptopia.com
The latter is focused on apps and has their own built-in escrow service, which is usually efficient. Flippa users usually use escrow.com, the last time I checked. I have done several buy and sell side transactions, using both Flippa and Fliptopia.
Good luck,
Jeremy

How to sell a service based company?
YES! You certainly can sell a services business; and, if it is positioned and prepared properly, for pretty great returns too. There are a number of different exit strategies available to you, not ALL of them acquisition. For instance; we have helped service business owners transition (exit) from their business without selling the business, but instead by retaining a minority interest and receiving large (7 figure) royalty checks for years after their departure. That said, IF acquisition is what you want each of the dozens of strategies available to you really begin with identifying prospective buyers, understanding their motivation for acquisition and pivoting your company into alignment with those motivations. I explain the process in more detail here: http://www.zerolimitsventures.com/cadredc Hope this helps! Good luck. SteveSL

How do I exit investors adding little value except money and attract new investors with confidence after the previous investors ruined the business?
First of all BE VERY CAREFUL about exiting investors while bringing new ones on. You cannot give investors money back out of proceeds raised from new investors. It's illegal (called Ponzi). This is a VERY tough scenario since you are dealing with two substantial issues - 1) building (or rebuilding) a business; and 2) retiring investors. If the business is in fact "ruined" then you need to first decide if bringing new investors into that situation is a wise decision. You could be opening yourself up to legal problems. Investors invest in projects when they can 1) make money; 2) connect with the business; 3) add value; 4) believe in management. Unfortunately, having "previous investors" (especially bad ones) is like coming into a relationship with baggage. Most savvy investors will not want to participate. Advice: try to retire the investors BEFORE talking to new investors. Rebuild the business model and wait a few months before going after new investment. Showing that type of resilience and passion for the business could play in your favor and show new investors that you are someone who can overcome adversity to achieve success. So how do you "retire" investors? Convert the investment to debt if possible. If not, offer to sell the business to one of the investors. Do not sign a non-compete and start a new business. Also, depending on your stock purchase agreement and any anti-dilution clauses you could issue new stock and dilute everyone's shares to where the old investors shares are minimal (could have legal repercussions though so be careful).MM

When looking to sell my company, how can I determine its value if it's service based and has no subscription model?
So you're saying that your business is a service business like auto repair, home buying, or any of millions of businesses that have existed for many many years. This is not a problem. Businesses like yours are bought and sold every day. The secret is a track record of profitable cash flow and a demonstrable system of how you get clients. If you want to run down a quick valuation just arrange a call and I'll show you in 15-30 minutes what kind of ballpark value your business may hold. Cheers David BarnettDC

What is the ideal time to reach investors?
Hello, you have a very interesting product in an interesting and growing industry. Anything with automated HR solutions is probably a good venture right now. There is a client of ours actually, www.BetaBulls.com who has specialized in automated Human Resources software (SaaS) as a CTO for other companies. I have learned a lot from working with them and based on that experience and the few startups I have launched myself including an online job posting platform and a game, I would say that generally speaking a good time to go for outside investment is when you have a validated concept, all legal documents in place and any type of demand from either partners or clients. Think of it as a business loan - you should only get one when you don't really need it, but for strategic leveraging is better to leverage borrowed money than your own. An investor should be the same, you get an investor if you need to buy yourself more time to improve on your technology or for market reach such as production or marketing. Not to prove the concept. It sounds like you are already there, so my recommendation would be to proceed with caution not giving any major control in any one area of your company or product.HV
