Why should I use a Website Broker to sell my site?
The reasons for using a Website Broker to sell your online business are much the same as the rational for using a real estate broker to sell your home.
- Professional brokers often receive higher selling prices than owner listed companies. Our experience in the industry, our ability to carefully evaluate your business's worth, and our professional presentation of your company all help to maximize the funds you'll receive at closing.
- Professional brokers handle all of the details so you can remained focused on running your business. We'll prepare your company for presentation to the market, field calls from interested parties, qualify them with respect to your business and financial goals, solicit offers and negotiate on your behalf, and finally, we'll help you with all the financial and legal details of closing the deal.
- Professional brokers can represent you and your business in the market without revealing your intentions to competitors, clients and or even your employees.

How long does it take to sell an online business?
As each business is a unique entity the answer to this question is different for every site. In general the time that it takes to sell your business is most effected by the price, the financial health of your business and your flexibility to finance or work out favorable terms with prospective buyers. In our experience, a growing, well priced online business, with flexible terms, will sell in 3 to 6 months.
How will I receive feedback on the status of my business’s sale?
We believe that communications is the key to good business relationships. During the sale of your online business it is our goal to make sure that you are always up to date on the current status of your company's sales. Status information will be reviewed with you on a regular basis by members of the Website properties team and our website's private client area will allow you 24 hr access to the latest information on your sale.
What will be required from me to facilitate the sale on my online business?
Although we take care of most of the details when selling your site we will need your help with a few items.
- Provide us with access to your financial and other critical business information in a timely fashion.
- Work with us to prepare a marketable asking price and be willing to be flexible on the terms of the sale.
- Keep us up to date with any changes to your business or its financial performance.
- Allow us to coordinate all of the interactions will prospective buyers and refer/request that all buyers contacts to us directly.
- And most importantly, keep focused on the successful operation of your company. Keeping your online business financially attractive and up to date are key to high offers and fast closings.
Will I have to finance the sale personally?
When a buyer makes an offer on your business his terms may request that financing be provided by the seller. This request may be made for various reasons. The buyer may be attempting to maximize the use of his own capital. Seller financing also represents a statement of the viability of your business and its ability to provide a continued revenue stream capable of covering the finance charges while providing an adequate rate of return for the buyer. It’s best to remain flexible and allow us to work with you and the buyer to negotiate terms that will suit everyone’s needs.
How will you market my business?
Once your site is ready for the market we will advertise your site using a number of different media. We’ll list your site on the high volume Internet Business Listing sites, the Wall Street Journal, and review industry specific links in an attempt to find sites that will expose your company to others in your niche. We will also distribute your listing to our Buyers Distribution List of registered buyer and past clients, some of which have acquired numerous businesses through our service.
How do you protect my confidential company information during the sale?
Throughout the entire process we take every step to protect the confidentially of you and your business. We consider every aspect of your business, its financial data, your customer and vendor lists, and even the fact that it is for sale, as confidential. By taking a conservative approach to who and how access to your company information is given, we are intent on protecting the intellectual properties of your business and ensuring your sales process is not sidetracked by the misuse of confidential information or the need for unwanted litigation.
It starts with our listing agreement in which we spell out to our clients how we protect their company information. Then it flows all the way through our business process of qualifying buyers and requiring their completion of a Non Disclosure Agreement prior to them receiving any sensitive information about your business.
