§ VII
§ VIIQuestions

Things founders actually ask.

How much is my online business worth?

Most digital businesses sell between 2× and 5× annual profit (SDE), but the multiple depends on category, growth, churn, and concentration risk. Our free valuation tool walks you through a few minutes of inputs and returns a real range, calibrated against 240 actual 2024–2025 deal comparables.

What types of online businesses do you broker?

Six verticals: newsletters (Substack, Beehiiv, Ghost), Shopify and DTC eCommerce, SaaS, digital agencies, Web3 / crypto, and Amazon FBA. Typical deal sizes run £30,000 – £5,000,000.

How much does it cost to sell with Flipping Nerd?

10% commission, charged only on a closed deal. No retainers, no listing fees, no upfront cost. The valuation tool and every future tool in our stack are free to use.

How long does it take to sell an online business?

Typically 30 – 120 days end-to-end depending on vertical and deal size. Newsletters and Shopify stores tend to close fastest (30 – 60 days). Agencies and larger SaaS deals usually take 60 – 120 days.

Do I need a broker to sell my online business?

No — but a specialist broker typically achieves higher prices, faster closes, and structured terms (earnouts, seller financing) that protect the seller. We only get paid when you do, so the incentives are aligned.

How is your valuation different from a free online calculator?

Free calculators apply a static multiplier table from 2019. Ours runs your real numbers against 240 verified 2024–2025 deal comparables and returns a value range, two buyer personas, an estimated days-to-sell, and the single highest-leverage improvement that would move your multiple.
