Sell Your Lead Generation Business

After owning Bower Web Solutions, Inc., a web design and digital marketing company, for 23 years, I decided the time had come to sell. I had never done this before and was unsure where to begin. Another business owner, who had successfully sold his own company with Paul’s help, referred me to Paul Volen at DealPipe.

Paul educated me and prepared me for the sale. He helped me price my company, made sure my financials were in order, and identified which products and services added value. He excelled at finding and vetting prospective buyers, making sure they were serious and financially qualified before I ever met them. I truly believe I could not have sold my company successfully without Paul’s assistance.

Working with Paul also gave me access to additional leads from other business brokers at DealPipe, which helped us find more qualified buyers. During negotiations Paul was invaluable, offering support and advice throughout the process.

I highly recommend Paul Volen to anyone who wants to sell or buy a business. He truly cares about the success of the transaction, not just about making a sale. I continue to recommend Paul to business owners who are considering an exit strategy, and I suggest starting early with a company like DealPipe, because preparing a business for sale takes time.

I hope this review helps other prospective sellers find a trustworthy broker who gets the job done. Thanks again, Paul and DealPipe!

I highly recommend DealPipe if you need to sell your company. Our brokers were Doug and Lenny, absolute professionals in this business. Starting on day 1, they guided us through the complicated work of creating our marketing material, arriving at a realistic and healthy valuation, and vetting the many buyers who were interested in our company. Finally, they walked us through due diligence, which is complex and often stressful. They helped on the legal side as well, working with us alongside our legal team and contributing advice and out-of-the-box ideas so we could get through closing as quickly as possible. We knew about DealPipe’s huge database of buyers, but we underestimated how much support they would provide across the entire selling process for our 4M deal. They found the best buyer, made sure we got the best offer for cash at closing, and found the best person to take over our company. And beyond everything they did on the business side, they did it all with a calm demeanor, plus enough humor and counseling to keep us sane throughout. 100% recommend using them!

I don’t remember how I first found DealPipe. I do remember the moment when I had to choose DealPipe over other brokerages. I looked through their website, with listings across categories from physical to internet businesses, e-commerce, and Amazon FBA businesses, a wide range of valuations, and proven success stories. I decided on DealPipe because it fit our nutritional products and our company size and, most importantly, because of the success rate. It turned out to be the right choice.

Honestly speaking, the process was complex for someone like me, a marketing guy. I had never been involved in any M&A activities. However, everything was explained well on their website and by the team members working on our deal.

Still, I believe it is much simpler than traditional M&A activities. For us as sellers, working with DealPipe was less time-consuming, which let us keep running our small business day by day and keep our performance up for a successful closing. We had to keep delivering the results potential buyers expected.

The good news is that DealPipe handled a number of important tasks, such as looking for potential buyers, screening them, and arranging meetings. After that we had weekly meetings with potential buyers to conduct due diligence and close the deal, all 100% on Zoom. That’s amazing.

And the results turned out to be perfect. My team and I were 100% happy with Paul Vartanian and DealPipe. Paul was highly focused and put in 110% effort to meet our goals, with 24-hour support 7 days a week. He put our interests first. He was patient in explaining the process and gave us the facts we needed to make decisions. He did not push or urge us to do things for the sake of the brokers.

I strongly recommend DealPipe for selling your business.

Jason and Ron, this was a remarkably positive experience from the first day to the last. With you two on our side we felt confident and secure the whole way through. The value you brought to this process is hard to put a price on. We already had private offers on the table and were thinking about going direct, but you made us feel safe and at ease. We wanted your expertise to guide us and to lift some of the stress and workload off our shoulders. That is exactly what you did, and you delivered well beyond what you promised.

You two operate on another level. We will always be grateful that you stuck with us from the very start!

My wife and I would like to thank DealPipe, and above all Dave Micek and his team, for the fantastic work they did marketing and selling our e-commerce business, which was nearly 30 years old. Before choosing Dave and DealPipe to represent us, we interviewed several other business brokers. We had no idea what to expect, and through the whole process Dave kept up excellent communication and feedback.

Our business posed some unique challenges. We had a physical warehouse and an established workforce, so we were not as mobile as a typical e-commerce business. Despite that, Dave and DealPipe drew in many qualified buyers, and within four months of the listing going live we had a signed purchase contract. Most important of all, the fair final purchase price Dave negotiated was significantly higher than what other brokers even planned to go to market with!

In every way, Dave Micek and DealPipe are a professional, 5-star operation, and they have our highest recommendation!

My experience with RJ from DealPipe has been outstanding. I had tried several other brokerage platforms before finding RJ, and unfortunately some of those experiences were very negative. My website was listed publicly on free marketplaces with no proper screening, and the leads were extremely low quality. One individual even attempted to copy my business from the inside.

With RJ it was completely different from day one. Every step was handled with the highest level of professionalism and care. I always felt that RJ truly had my best interests at heart, and he respected my decisions 100%. His experience, guidance, and knowledge of the market were instrumental at every stage of the sale, from the initial strategy through closing.

This has been a long journey, and I sincerely could not have wished for a better partner to guide me through it. I am extremely grateful for RJ’s support. To anyone considering selling their business, I recommend him and DealPipe without hesitation. Their pool of buyers really is the best!

It was my pleasure to work with Bill Gustin and Matt Seymour on the successful sale of my business. From the first meeting until closing, they were heavily involved and guided every step of the process. I confidently recommend Bill, Matt, and DealPipe to anyone who wants to sell their business.

As an owner getting ready for my exit, I could not have been luckier than to have Tom Howard as my business broker. Tom delivered on what mattered most to me. He grasped our business structure quickly, set and achieved a sale price in line with my expectations and our corporate financials, and brought in appropriate buyers. Tom is a seasoned, highly capable broker who is determined to meet the many challenges a business sale presents. The process was structured and transparent. At every stage Tom shared advice and a suite of contacts, which gave me access to skilled financial advisers, bankers, and qualified buyers. I would work with Tom on a future sale without hesitation.

As a first-time seller, I had no idea how complex and emotional the process would be. Selling something I had built from the ground up felt overwhelming at times, but working with Jade Hall at DealPipe completely changed that experience. From the very start, she brought confidence, clarity, and a steady presence that put me at ease right away.

Jade was incredibly knowledgeable and took me through every step with transparency and patience. She was always available to answer questions, explain the details, and help me understand what would come next. In negotiations, she advocated for me with strength and professionalism while keeping the conversations respectful and productive. I always felt well represented, protected, and fully supported.

She simplified the moving parts, coordinated communication seamlessly, and kept everything moving forward. More than anything, she truly cared about the outcome and understood how significant this transition was for me personally.

I am beyond grateful for Jade’s expertise and guidance. If you are considering selling your business, especially for the first time, I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I was very happy with the whole DealPipe experience when I sold my company. Since this was my first exit, I was skeptical about using a broker, but I could not have been more wrong. I met with Doug and Lenny, and after our first call I was very excited, though still skeptical. Once we signed, they told me to get ready for a busy month, and they were right. They set up something like 30 initial calls, which turned into about 16 LOIs, and in the end we chose the right buyer for my company together. It was not the highest offer, but it was the best one for my partners and me. We had a vested interest in keeping the company intact with the least disruption for employees. They delivered big time! These guys and their company are nothing but professional. They were always right on time for calls and very helpful through the entire process. I highly recommend DealPipe, and Doug and Lenny specifically, if you want to exit your company on your terms. They will definitely get you over the goal line.

My company is more than 100 years old and has been in the family for 3 generations. I’m old, and the next generation has no interest in carrying on the legacy. So the time had come to sell.

I had no idea how to move forward, other than to contact a business broker. Eric made it comfortable and easy. Yes, gathering all the data was tedious, but it was very clear and direct. Whenever I had a question, Eric gave me quick, simple answers, even at odd hours and on weekends.

Near the end of the process, when the APA was signed and closing was imminent, I was afraid the whole deal would fall through (it seemed too perfect to be true). Eric was very good at easing my fears.

For me, finding the right buyer, someone who could carry on my business’s tradition of service, was paramount. The price was secondary. In less than a month, Eric found the perfect match. And I got the full asking price in cash.

Eric is a very honest, direct, and likeable guy, and an exceptionally interesting person to talk with. Frankly, I don’t think it would be possible to find a better business broker.

Selling my business was a huge decision, and I could not have asked for a better experience than the one I had with Zach at DealPipe. From beginning to end they were knowledgeable, professional, and truly invested in finding the right buyer. Their clear communication and dedication to securing a great deal especially impressed me. If you are looking for an efficient and trustworthy business broker, I highly recommend Zach McGillis at DealPipe. They exceeded all my expectations!
