Choose the business you can operate
Start with the product, customer, technical, and sales work you can realistically own after the handoff. A low asking price does not make a poor fit easier to run.
Buyer guide
Buy a small digital business with a clearer diligence process.
SBM organizes smaller digital-business opportunities so buyers can compare what exists, what earns, what transfers, and what still needs verification before making an offer.
A practical process
Five steps before you buy.
Marketplace qualification is a starting point. Buyers remain responsible for independent legal, financial, technical, tax, and commercial diligence.
Verify the operating evidence
Reconcile revenue, profit, costs, traffic, customers, refunds, concentration, and workload against dated source evidence. Treat unsupported figures as claims, not facts.
Map every transferable asset
Confirm exactly which domains, code, content, contracts, accounts, data, licenses, documentation, and brand rights can transfer, and which cannot.
Test the business and its dependencies
Reproduce the product or service, inspect hosting and vendors, understand compliance obligations, and identify anything that depends on the current owner.
Agree on the transaction structure
Use an appropriate purchase agreement, define closing conditions, document credential and asset transfer, and consider independent legal, tax, and escrow support.
Browse by fit
Start with the type and price range you understand.
Current opportunities
Compare active listings with a consistent diligence process.
