Buyers FAQ

Is signing an NDA required for viewing the businesses?

faq arrow icon to expand accordian

If the seller wishes to keep the URL private then, yes you will be required to sign an NDA to get more information. This is done to protect the businesses on sale from new competition.

How do you vet the businesses & determine their price?

faq arrow icon to expand accordian

The price of the business is determined by our vetting process. We consider a variety of factors such as traffic trends, revenue trends, content quality, backlink quality, niche analysis, and so on.

Using our vetting process we come up with a fair monthly average revenue and a multiple that reflects the quality of the business. The valuation is then simply calculated as follows:

Average monthly revenue * multiple = valuation

Are the prices negotiable?

faq arrow icon to expand accordian

Yes, in most cases they are negotiable. You can always place an offer on a business and then let the seller decide. However, be aware that the seller may receive multiple offers.

Who handles the migration?

faq arrow icon to expand accordian

Make Lemonade will handle the entire migration process. This is completely hands-off for both buyer and seller.

Which legal documents or contracts are mandatory for the process?

faq arrow icon to expand accordian

You will need to sign two documents when you are planning to buy a business from us.

1. NDA (Non-disclousre agreement)  – To gain full access to a listing if the seller wishes the URL to remain private. 

2. APA (Asset Purchase Agreement) – When you buy the business.

What level of support and communication can be expected from the seller post-purchase?
