Sell Your SaaS Business

I want to share my experience with DealPipe and, especially, with David Marcheschi, who assisted me in selling my software business. It was a months-long process that David managed superbly, guiding and assisting me every step of the way through multiple buyer calls, demos, and negotiations. In the end we found a buyer who was ready to close without any third-party financing, which really sped things up. I can only imagine how hard David was working behind the scenes, vetting potential buyers and letting me focus on the important things. I could not have handled this on my own, and I heartily recommend David as a top-notch broker who will have your interests at heart.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Doug Grindstaff and Lenny Farber at DealPipe during an M&A transaction in which I acquired an e-commerce company. Although Doug and Lenny were the seller’s investment bankers and I was the buyer, their roles were absolutely critical to the successful completion of the deal.

Working through the complexities of mergers and acquisitions takes skill, professionalism, and exceptional communication abilities. Doug and Lenny both showed these qualities in spades. They were instrumental in educating the seller about the process, aligning expectations, and driving the deal forward at every stage.

In transactions like this, contentious moments are not uncommon. Those were the moments when Doug and Lenny’s true value became clear. Their ability to defuse potentially difficult issues through calm professionalism, clear communication, and fair negotiation kept both parties focused on the ultimate goal.

Even though they represented the seller, they understood how important balance and collaboration between both sides are. Good investment bankers make a world of difference in M&A transactions, and Doug and Lenny undoubtedly belong in that category.

I look forward to working with them again on our next transaction, whether on the buying or the selling side. Their contribution, both in technical expertise and in facilitating a smooth, transparent process, has left a lasting impression.

I wholeheartedly recommend Doug and Lenny at DealPipe to anyone involved in similar transactions. Their communication skills, integrity, and commitment to a successful outcome set them apart in this highly competitive field.

This review is about my experience in 2015, when I sold two internet companies. The sale price for the companies was over 350,000 USD. My broker for these sales was Grier Holiday, and he will remain my broker as I move forward. Within 3 months, he and his team had sold both of my companies.

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!

Gwen from DealPipe sold my online business, and working with her was a pleasure. She truly exceeded my expectations. She is professional, responsive, and a strong problem solver, which kept the entire process smooth and free of stress. Her expertise brought me multiple offers, and the business sold for more than I had anticipated.

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.

In Lassiter I could not have asked for a more professional, knowledgeable, and friendly broker. I would recommend DealPipe, and already have, to others selling their online businesses.

What can I say! Having DealPipe and Alex as my broker has been more than amazing. Alex promised my store would sell, and that guarantee was kept! Beyond that, Alex updated me regularly on how my store was progressing. He tells you when an offer comes in, suggests what to add to your listing, and keeps you constantly in the loop on what is happening. That is far better than other website brokers, who vanish after a few weeks and leave you in the dark. If you are thinking about selling your business, I can’t stress enough that DealPipe is the best place to go. I truly appreciate the hard work and dedication Alex puts into everything he does. 10/10!

Tom was a consummate professional. The information he provided was complete and very timely. As the buyer of the website company, I found our relationship to be very consultative. He was candid and direct, gave full disclosure, and genuinely cared that this was the “right deal” for both buyer and seller.

Before contacting DealPipe, I had my website listed for sale with other companies, and none of them produced a single interested party. Zach knew his stuff, and not having to pay a listing fee was something I liked too. The perfect buyer was found within 5 months! During negotiations and closing, Zach’s help was tremendous! His service delighted me, and I will be sending a few referrals his way!

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!

I sold my online school with Paul’s help and was completely satisfied with his service. From start to finish he was transparent and responsible in his communication.
