UpFlip’s apps

Local Business Finder

Find businesses for sale based on buyer criteria.

A search for people who want to buy a business rather than start one. It pulls listings from the brokerages and marketplaces, normalises the financials so they can be compared, and filters on the things a buyer actually screens for.

What a v1 does5 features
  • Listings from broker feeds and marketplaces in one search
  • Financials normalised to the same fields across sources
  • Filters on price, cash flow, multiple, industry and distance
  • Saved criteria with alerts when a match is listed
  • Owner-dependency flags on listings that will not survive the sale

The market

New categoryBuying businesses
No one sells this yet

BizBuySell and Acquire.com list businesses for sale and Empire Flippers brokers them, but none analyses a listing's financials on a buyer's behalf, and none publishes revenue. The absence of a figure here reflects an unbuilt product rather than a failed one. Priced at $79 a month for a serious buyer.

Why this audience

This audience is not starting from scratch - a large part of it wants to buy something already running. They are trawling listings sites manually right now. Search across the brokerages with normalised financials is the search they are performing by hand.

Before it can launch

  • Listing source agreements - BizBuySell and broker feeds licence their data rather than allow scraping

Fifty thousand paying users is the ceiling every one of these pages is drawn against, not a forecast. It opens at a thousand, the bottom of the range, so the first figures you see are the modest ones. What the cap buys is comparability: the same range on every app, and the percentage of the audience it takes as the number that moves.

Is this the one for your audience?

We fund it, build it, and run it. You bring the audience and take a share of the revenue. Nothing to pay and nothing to build.
