Trust & safety
Built so strangers
can trade safely.
Buying a business from someone you've never met takes trust. Ours isn't asked for - it's built into how every deal works.
Every listing reviewed 100% of funds in escrow 2,925 listings live
The money path
Your money never touches us.
Or them. Until it should.
Every transaction runs through Escrow.com, a regulated third-party escrow service. We never hold your funds - and neither does the seller.
↖ the business transfers directly from seller to buyer - funds only release once the buyer confirms it arrived
-
01
Agree on a price
Make or accept an offer. Once both sides agree, the sale moves to Escrow.com with a generated sales agreement.
-
02
Buyer pays into escrow
The payment is held by Escrow.com - not by us, not by the seller - while the handover happens.
-
03
Handoff, then release
The seller transfers the business. Funds release only after the buyer confirms everything arrived.
If a deal breaks mid-transfer, nobody walks away with both the money and the business - the funds stay locked in escrow until the dispute is resolved.
Before a listing goes live
Nothing is published unchecked.
Every listing passes review before buyers ever see it - and serious buyers get the evidence to check the claims again themselves.
-
01
Submitted with evidence
Sellers walk a structured listing flow: financials, proof documents, tech stack, what's included in the handover. Revenue claims can be backed by Stripe-verified metrics.
-
02
AI moderation reads every word
Each submission is checked against its own numbers before publish. Inconsistent metrics and unverifiable claims get sent back with specific questions.
-
03
Humans review the edge cases
Anything the AI isn't confident about goes to a human reviewer. Nothing is auto-approved on a borderline call.
-
04
Live - with a data room behind it
Premium buyers get data room access on every listing - Stripe exports, P&L, cohort retention, codebase docs - to verify the numbers before offering.
What doesn't make it through
Fabricated revenue · templates dressed up as real products · guaranteed-income claims · numbers that can't be backed up
During the deal
Guardrails from offer to handoff.
Offers are binding
An accepted offer becomes a sale with a generated agreement - no gazumping, no silent renegotiation.
Fees are locked
The fee is fixed the moment a sale starts and never recalculated - what you agreed is what you pay.
Everything is on the record
Offers, counters, agreements and every status change are stamped into the deal's timeline.
Disputes have a path
If a handoff fails, mediation steps in - and escrow refunds the buyer rather than splitting the loss.
The rules, in writing
Plain language. No surprises.
