Tip: Be sure to document your research and have that in your back pocket if you decide to reach out to the business owner.
Was the website built on a platform (WordPress, SaaS, etc.) that you’re familiar with or that you’re confident in having your business rely on?
Is your technology team (website developer, SEO specialist, etc.) comfortable with the platform?
Is the website ready to go so all that’s needed is for you to apply your own branding, your own copy/verbiage, etc.?
Or, do you anticipate significant design changes?
Does the website look good on a wide variety of mobile device brands and sizes?
Or, is there a lot of work to be done in this area?
What comes up when you search for what you would expect to be keywords for the business?
How many pages down in the search results is the business?
Has the business owner built out or at least procured social media accounts relevant to the success of the business?
If not, are the accounts available for you to procure?
The main thing to find out here is whether the website is held together by duct tape.
How many 3rd party add-ons are needed to keep the core aspects of the website operational? What are the costs for those add-ons?
Is the website reliant upon a specific developer’s proprietary custom development efforts? Is the knowledge easily transferrable? If you’re open to it, is that developer available and willing to come on as a team member?
Find out what traffic the website is bringing in, where the traffic is coming from, identify any major issues, etc., which the business owner should be able to provide as a report from their analytics platform of choice.
How is the website earning money? eCommerce technology on the website? Ads? Affiliate sales?
Learn what the business is bringing in as far as earnings, which can typically be verified by requesting screenshots that show the website in the URL.
If the business has been around less than one fiscal year, you’ll want to see what the business is bringing in, on average, since inception.
At a minimum, every Listing has the ability to receive an email through its contact form.
Depending on the package the Listing owner subscribes to, you may also be able to see their direct contact information (email address, phone number, website, etc.).
If there are no major red flags found as part of the due diligence process, it’s time to reach out to the Listing owner.
As part of connecting with the Listing owner, we recommend getting access (or proof) for some vital areas of their business, to continue your due diligence at a deeper level.
Those looking to buy an online business or brand, for example, should look at the following aspects, to name a few.
We are not here to compete with giant marketplaces that specialize in hand-holding clients through every level of the selling process (evaluation, due diligence, etc.) while taking a significant percentage of all sales.
