THE OFFER
One written report on one listing, in one day, at a price that makes sense before you make an offer.
A written report on one business listing, checked against the asking price, with the exact questions to put to the seller before you make an offer.
WHAT THE REPORT COVERS
The point of the report is the price. Every section ends in what it means for the amount you are about to offer.
01
Every claim on the listing, set against what the listing itself, the public record and any access you bring can actually show.
02
What the current customers are worth against the asking price, including the case most favorable to the seller, so you know what the price is really paying for.
03
The marketplaces, app stores, payment providers, ad networks and platform rules the business needs to keep working, and what happens if one of them changes.
04
How much of the revenue or traffic rests on one customer, one partner, one channel or one search ranking.
05
Numbers that do not agree with each other, dates that do not line up, and claims the metrics on the page do not support.
06
The exact questions to send the seller, so you bid on answers instead of on the listing copy.
WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU
The listing alone is enough for a full report. Read-only access the seller grants makes it deeper.
A link to the listing on Flippa, Acquire or any other marketplace or broker site. That is enough for a full report on everything the listing shows. You paste it at checkout.
READ-ONLY THROUGHOUTRead-only access to Stripe, Shopify, PayPal, Google Analytics or Search Console makes the report deeper: real churn, refunds, cohorts and traffic sources instead of the figures on the listing. To add access, reply to the confirmation email after checkout. The 24 hours then start when access works.
READ-ONLY THROUGHOUTWHO IT IS FOR
Buyers looking at a SaaS, an ecommerce store, a content site or a YouTube channel on Flippa, Acquire or elsewhere, priced roughly $30K to $500K.
YOU HAVE
A listing you like, a seller who wants an offer, and numbers on the page you cannot check on your own in a day.
YOU NEED
To know what the price is paying for, what could break after you buy, and what to ask before you bid, without paying for a week of a diligence firm's time.
SAMPLE REPORTS
Sample reports are written on real public listings, from public information only. They show the format and the depth you get.
SAMPLE 01
The numbers hang together, but the price pays for growth that comes mostly from one partner, and the product depends on how Amazon treats its review system.
Read the report →SAMPLE 02
The price is about half of one year's stated profit, but the core product is consoles sold with custom firmware, which raises a legal question a buyer must answer before bidding.
Read the report →SAMPLE 03
The title claims almost twice the profit in the listing's own metrics, most revenue seems to come from sources other than display ads, and publishing has nearly stopped.
Read the report →SAMPLE 04
The channel is real and large, but its income may rest on a footage rights deal the buyer has not seen, and the stated month is about 2.4 times the average the multiple implies.
Read the report →SAMPLE 05
The page gives three different MRR figures, and at the stated churn the current subscribers alone do not repay the asking price.

Short, because the offer is simple.
