Ask HN: Do you have a SaaS tool or small online business for sale?

23 pointstrykondev5y ago9 comments

I'm interested in buying ownership of a SaaS tool or other small online business. I suspect that there may be others on HN who would also be interested in seeing posts about tools/businesses that are available.

My ideal range would probably be something worth 4-figures or low 5-figures with some amount of active users and existing monetization model, but certainly willing to discuss deals outside that range as well if they're a good fit.

If you are not comfortable posting here for whatever reason but would still like to reach out, my email is in my profile.

I'd also be interested to know if there is a website/platform anyone can recommend for buying/selling projects of this scope.

Looking forward to seeing what's out there!

In terms of sites/marketplaces that will have listings meeting the low 5-figure criteria, these two will likely be your best bet -- though because they do deal with a lot of lower value sites, there is a lot of lower quality and "starter" sites that you'll need to filter out.

The following sites generally have listings starting at low-to-mid 5-figures and you'll even regularly see 8-figure listings on them too. Some of these will also require you to sign NDAs before getting further information on a listing, but there's usually enough information on the overview for you to decide whether or not it's in the category/style of purchase you'd be interested in.

Thank you so much for the resources! Will definitely check these out. Very helpful to have a couple concrete recommendations for marketplaces that are aligned with my price range -- most of the ones I'd seen previously were 6 figures & up.

Buyer beware a lot of people make a living selling and flipping sites that are ahem... not worth the money. In fact expect 99% on some of those sites to be trash and spend a lot of time on DD. There are probably some good ones on there.

I recommend participating in forums and getting to know people that way, then reach out to someone if you’d like to buy their thing. Mostly they’ll say no but you never know your luck.
