Requirements

  • This is a marketplace for SELLING an operating business, not a product-launch directory — only usable when the project itself is being sold
  • Seller listing flow: describe the business, explain why you're selling, and sync your metrics (web, customer, and financial data connections)
  • 'Guided by Acquire' advisory tier is restricted to profitable SaaS startups with $100k+ revenue

Prepare before opening the form

  • Business financials and metrics ready to sync (analytics, revenue, customer metrics integrations)
  • Asking price and reason for selling
  • Listing copy: business description, growth details, assets included
  • Budget for the monthly listing fee ($25/mo under $250k asking, $50/mo for $250k-$1M, $100/mo above $1M) plus 6-8% closing fee if it sells

Workflow

  1. Go to https://acquire.com/sellers and click 'Join now' (leads to app.acquire.com/signup)
  2. Create a seller account, then 'List Your Startup' — enter basic details, describe the business, explain why you're selling
  3. Sync web, customer, and financial metrics so buyers see verified data
  4. Pay the monthly listing fee to publish; work with the assigned customer-success/expert advisor to optimize the listing
  5. Field vetted buyers, negotiate, and close via the included escrow (Escrow.com) — the 6-8% closing fee is due only on sale

Watch for

  • Not a free backlink route: listing costs $25-$100/month while live, plus a 6-8% closing fee on a completed sale
  • Only appropriate for a real exit — do not list a product just for exposure
  • Site requires JavaScript; app flows live on app.acquire.com
  • Automated NDAs and identity/funds vetting protect sellers — expect buyers to request verified metrics

What counts as live

The business listing is published on Acquire.com and visible to its buyer base (browsable under the 'Online businesses for sale' categories)

Not verified

  • Minimum eligibility thresholds for the standard (non-Guided) seller listing
  • Whether listings are publicly indexable or gated behind buyer accounts
