Ideal For

Novice and experienced buyers that are currently in the search phase and prefer more support and advisory throughout the search process. Generally, these buyers prefer making a few, key decisions, instead of dealing with the cumbersome sourcing and due diligence process.

General Overview

Our Start to Finish Plan is our most comprehensive plan where we start by understanding your website buying needs and risk profile and are there with you every step of the way until we've helped you close, migrate and begin successfully operating your online business. Unlike our other plans, our Start to Finish Plan is not to assess a single online business but rather, we assess as many businesses as needed to find the perfect fit for you.

Start to Finish Plan Features

Our Start to Finish Plan is our most comprehensive plan where we start by understanding your website buying needs and risk profile and are there with you every step of the way until we've helped you close, migrate and begin successfully operating your online business. Unlike our other plans, our Start to Finish Plan is not to assess a single online business but rather, we assess as many businesses as needed to find the perfect fit for you.

Our Start to Finish Plan is suited for novice and experienced buyers who want to ensure they're getting the best online business possible for their needs, as well as experienced buyers who prefer a more hands-off approach and would rather make a few, key decisions, instead of dealing with the cumbersome sourcing and due diligence process. With our Start to Finish Plan, you can be as hands on or hands off as you wish: Some of our clients prefer to be on every call and learn as much as they can along the way while others simply prefer receiving updates and making the final decision. Whatever works best for you, works best for us!

By default, our Start to Finish Plan comes with an unlimited number of Preliminary Vetting Reports and Live Verification Reports until you close on a business.

As with all of our services, our Start to Finish Plan offers unlimited client support so we'll be there to help and offer advice long after we've delivered our finalized report to you. Plus, you get direct access to your dedicated Rapid Diligence Certified Public Account (CPA) via phone, chat and email so they're always just a call away.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will you be providing deal flow?

Absolutely, we have an optional add-on where we provide deal flow for you on a weekly basis. However, most of our clients prefer to provide deal flow themselves as it allows for lower pricing for the Start to Finish Plan and generally moves the process along faster.

Where do you source your deal flow?

We obtain deal flow from the same public sources you would i.e. brokers, marketplaces, etc. We sometimes have limited, private deal flow for certain deal requirements but that's not common. This is why most of our clients choose to provide deal flow themselves as it results in lower pricing for the Start to Finish Plan and generally moves things along faster. After all, you know which deals you're interested in and we provide the most value with our feedback and due diligence.

How long does it normally take to find a deal and close?

This varies on a deal by deal basis and depends on your search criteria, deal flow, your involvement and responsiveness, and so much more. Typically, though, we aim to close most deals within 2-3 months, though it can be a lot quicker or slower.

Does the Start to Finish Plan include a codebase review?

Our Start to Finish Plan does not include a codebase review. However, if you're predominantly seeking to acquire a SaaS or software business, we'd be happy to put together a custom package that includes our Codebase & Tech Stack Analysis as part of the Start to Finish Plan for you.

What's the benefit of the Start to Finish Plan vs. a "one-off" service like the Live Verification Report?

Typically, the Start to Finish Plan is most useful for first or second time buyers in the search phase. As a novice buyer, you'll likely go through quite a few deals before closing on one and thus, you'll benefit in the following ways:

  • You won't end up paying multiple times for our "one-off" services like the Live Verification Report, in the event we find something in due diligence that would recommend a stop of sale
  • You'll have someone to advise you and represent your best interests every step of the way, from pre-LOI, post-LOI, closing, migration, and even post-acquisition
  • A lot of novice buyers experience buyer's anxiety, which is completely normal, and we'll be there to help you make sense of the various deals and help you close on a deal that makes the most sense for you and your buying goals
