VestUp was built for founders who want vetted buyers, not tire-kickers. Anonymous listings, NDA protection, and zero upfront fees.
Flippa pioneered online business sales. But sellers consistently flag these four issues.
Sellers report receiving dozens of low-quality inquiries from unverified browsers — wasting time on conversations that go nowhere.
You pay before a single buyer sees your listing. If the listing doesn't get traction, the fee is gone.
Serious acquirers often skip Flippa for smaller deals, leaving a buyer pool that's more curious than committed.
You're on your own for valuation, listing optimisation, and negotiation. There's no guidance on how to position your business for maximum value.
