#5 – Personal information

How do you finalise a price for a business?

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

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.

Can I list my business on other marketplaces concurrently?

faq arrow icon to expand accordian

Unfortunately no, we require you to list your business exclusively with us for at least a period of 45 days. We invest a significant amount of time, energy and effort in finding potential buyers and guiding them through the purchase process. It’s crucial that once the buyers are done with their due diligence process, the businesses are still available for sale.

What happens if my business doesn’t sell?

faq arrow icon to expand accordian

We make every effort to find a buyer for your business in the 45 day exclusivity period and potentially find you multiple buyers for your business. However, sometime it takes a little longer or may not even sell at all. You can continue to list your business with Make Lemonade and we’ll continue to work on finding you a buyer or if you choose, you are free to list the site elsewhere.You’ll need to let us know so that we can remove your listing from the Marketplace.
