Don't know what you don't know?
We'll break it down.
Online business acquisitions are tough because, well, you don't know what you don't know. Unlike a traditional business, you can't simply "walk in" and get a feel of the place. With so many moving pieces and components to look into, the challenge is focusing on what's relevant and ignoring what's not.
That's why we break down our due diligence into five, manageable components: Operational, Financial, Website Traffic, Strategic, and Technical. This allows us to focus on what's important in each segment so we can break it down and make sense of it all.
Not sure if the business has really been around for ten years? Think there are costs the seller may not be disclosing? Site traffic look suspicious? We look into it all, without you even asking.

"My experience with Rapid Diligence has been nothing short of incredible. Having someone in your corner who can go through every deal with you from start to finish as your mentor and sounding board, especially when you have never purchased a business before, has been priceless. Ahmed helped prevent me from making bad decisions throughout our journey to find the right business and assured me that we had found the one when we did. He continued to be both resourceful and helpful all the way through closing.
Throughout all of this, Ahmed has been the single most helpful person I've interfaced with throughout the entire process of my search and I'd hire him again."

"Locating Rapid Diligence and Ahmed was quite the godsend. Finding a company or person with the expertise and experience in due diligence is hard enough, yet alone one that specializes in eCommerce, SaaS, and websites in general. I am not usually one to write reviews but working with Ahmed was quite refreshing. I found working with him to be quite unique in today's world, primarily due to his honesty, thorough and precise attention to detail, and professionalism. If you want to ensure you are acquiring a quality business or not, Ahmed is your man. He is not just going through the motions like most. He is doing the work just as he would if it was for him, yet he has unparalleled expertise and experience and will be able to give you the most accurate health of any business you are looking at.
I initially came to him for due diligence on a business I had already made an offer on. I did not end up going through with the deal due to his findings, which was a good thing as he probably saved me quite a bit of money and heartache. I have also hired him for the Start to Finish Plan and have the utmost confidence in his ability to help me find and acquire the business I am looking for."

"I have worked with Rapid Diligence on a couple of projects. Here is why I'm giving a 5-star review: Ahmed is a first-class person! Honest, high character, easy to communicate with and a genuinely enjoyable guy to interact with and work together with. The Rapid Diligence team has loads of experience analyzing digital assets/businesses. They know what to look for and how to find the "ghosts in the closets". Ahmed is patient and a steady influence through the sometimes stressful and time intensive process of business acquisition."
"Working with Ahmed and Fahaad, at Rapid Diligence, has been nothing short of fantastic. The responsiveness, attention to detail, and timely follow-up set a high bar for client service. I plan to engage Ahmed and team on future acquisitions and highly recommend his work."
"I hired Ahmed to do a short notice due diligence on a site I had submitted an offer on. He was able to complete the process quickly and was extremely thorough. He was so responsive with the questions I had about the site, and he went above and beyond to make sure I was well-informed. Buying a website can be scary, but Rapid Diligence makes it so much easier. For the first time in my buying journey I felt confident in my decisions and was able to come to a conclusion on the site. I can't wait to work with him again!"
"I'd been wanting to buy a little SaaS business for almost a year before hiring Rapid Diligence. In fact, I'd even gotten a signed LOI on a deal at one point. But purchasing a business is a murky landscape for a first-time buyer. My deal fell through, and I lost my confidence in pulling the trigger on another. I came to realize that without someone else to help guide, I'd likely never have the confidence to close on a deal alone. So, I got in touch with with Ahmed here, and it has worked out well for me. Having him to double check everything through the process has made all the difference in getting to a deal on my own business."
"I have relied on Ahmed at Rapid Diligence to guide my ecommerce journey. He is extremely knowledgable and reliable. I recommend his services without hesitation."
"I have worked with Rapid Diligence on several sites now. They have always delivered above and beyond what was required of them, even when I had given them what I believed to be an impossible task. Site acquisition was smooth and seamless. I'd highly encourage using their Start to Finish Plan. Using Rapid Diligence paid for itself in month 1. No brainer."
“Hiring Rapid Diligence was an important first step when considering my first online business acquisition. Ahmed was thorough, educated, and transparent throughout the entire transaction. He relentlessly negotiated on my behalf and I always felt he genuinely had my best interest in mind. In a market where there are so many factors and risks to consider - Ahmed helped make things clear in arriving to a decision that in both his professional and personal opinion - he would make if he were in my shoes, and for that alone I recognize the value.”
"Ahmed, my Due Diligence Analyst at Rapid Diligence, understood all of my website needs and delivered far more than I could have asked for. Not only did he get us an incredible site that was already generating revenue from day one, but he fiercely negotiated on our behalf and took everything from migration to growth in his hands. His services literally pay for themselves and I was ready to buy my second site within three weeks.”
"Buying or selling a business can be a daunting task. Given this was my first endeavor into acquiring a business, I wanted another set of eyes to look at the business from every angle. Ahmed was extremely communicative, worked fast, and provided the analysis and diligence we needed to make a decision."
“Rapid Diligence provided excellent service. The report was thorough and Ahmed answered all of my follow up questions. Would definitely use again.”
“Rapid Diligence provided great customer service and provided the report very quickly.”
