Remove clear mismatches.
Start with your essential criteria, the source, the business model and the coherence of the claims. A clearly unsuitable dossier does not deserve your time.
Preparing our launch selection. We confirm what can be delivered, the timetable and the written scope before taking payment.
Four steps
Careful where it counts.
Efficient from the start.
Turn doubts into questions.
For a promising dossier, identify the precise missing information and request supporting evidence from the authorised seller, broker or platform.
Connect the figures to reality.
Check reporting periods, revenue and costs, owner involvement, customer or platform dependence and the assets proposed for transfer.
Explain the fit and the limits.
Present the opportunity only with the necessary permissions, a dated availability check and a clear distinction between checked information, reported claims and open questions.
Worked example / fictional business
Could this micro-SaaS fit an $80,000 budget?
This example uses invented figures to show how a FAYTIVA analysis works. The business is fictional and there is nothing to buy.
ILLUSTRATIVE BUYER FILE · USDB2B scheduling micro-SaaS
- Buyer brief
- Up to $80,000 in total and up to 10 hours per week. The buyer can handle customer support and would outsource specialist development.
- Estimated cost to take over
- $58,000 asking price + $2,000 assumed transaction and setup costs + $8,000 starting cash. Total $68,000, with $12,000 of the budget left. The assumptions would be replaced with actual costs on a live file.
- Day-to-day ownership
- Assumed workload of 6 hours per week for support and routine maintenance. Ask to see a recent support week and confirm who handles outages and code changes.
- Evidence and open questions
- Check 12 months of recurring revenue and cancellations against billing records. Verify how much revenue depends on the largest customer and whether the code and key accounts can transfer.
- Next decision
- Keep it on the shortlist if the actual workload and costs fit the brief. Reassess if the owner’s support or development work is higher than estimated.
Your decision stays informed.
FAYTIVA provides preliminary selection, research and introduction support within the agreed and permitted scope. Buyers and sellers negotiate directly with their chosen professionals.
