If you have questions about the seller. We've been working with them closely so we have a lot of insight about the business. Compared to say off market deals where these deals they're not necessarily looking to sell, you may waste a ton of time. The founders might get annoyed that you're contacting them. So that route can be great. But it's not as easy as say working with us@acquire.com where we can just get a list of what you're looking to acquire. What is your buy box? Your acquisition criteria by size or industry type, business model, you name it.

Is it losing money every single month essentially? Is this a liability or is this an asset? You obviously want to acquire an asset. Customer attention Are customers staying around? Are they canceling very frequently? What are customers saying about the product? Understanding if this business is serving customers that are delighted with the product or customers are trying the product and leaving for some reason, that can again be the difference between a great acquisition or a terrible acquisition and scalability. Can this business grow? Do you have ideas to grow the business? Does this align with your expertise or things that you've seen in the past or situations where you feel really confident about growing this business? The amount of times I've seen founders on acquire.com buy businesses that have just a couple marketing channels stood up and they're easily able to open up new marketing strategies or really double down on things that are already working to grow the business immensely more than the original founder could. That can be a great strategy so you want to keep your eyes open for opportunities to grow the business. And keep in mind, acquire.com helps buyers vet financials, assess risk, connect with sellers.
