How selling works here

  1. 1

    Create a free account

    It takes a minute and you only need an email address.

  2. 2

    Write your listing

    Add what it does, how it earns, what is included and your asking price. You can save a draft and come back.

  3. 3

    Talk to buyers

    Interested buyers write to you in Messages. You decide who to reply to and agree on the rest between yourselves.

What makes a listing easy to say yes to

Real numbers

Revenue, profit and age from the last twelve months. Buyers trust listings that show their work.

A plain description

Say what it does and who uses it in words a stranger would follow.

Honest limits

If something is weak, say so. It saves time and attracts buyers who are fine with it.

Quick replies

Answer within a day or two. Interested buyers move on when nobody replies.

Before you list

A little preparation makes the first conversation easier. Have these ready and you will answer questions in minutes.

  • Revenue and cost figures for the last twelve months, with exports you can share
  • A list of the accounts, domains and subscriptions that would transfer
  • A few lines on what a normal week of work looks like
  • Your lowest acceptable price, and what you could offer instead, like handover help

Questions sellers ask

What does it cost to sell?

Nothing. Listing is free and Startupzel takes no commission when your startup sells.

Do I need an account to list?

Yes, a free one. It lets buyers message you and lets you edit your listing later.

Can I edit or remove my listing?

Yes. You can edit or delete a listing from your settings at any time.

Who handles the payment and the handover?

You and the buyer do. Startupzel does not hold money or move the project, so agree on the steps in writing before anything changes hands.
