Most business sales fail on information, not price.
Buyers cannot tell who is serious. Sellers cannot tell who has money. Both sides spend months finding out. Revanu puts that information on the table before the first conversation.
We verify the buyer, not the listing.
Every marketplace claims quality listings. Almost none can tell a seller whether the person asking for three years of financials can actually buy. That asymmetry is why sellers stall, and why good listings never reach the open market at all.
Read from your bank, or from a statement a person reads: that the capital exists, as a band, with the date it was read.
Registration and ownership records, read by a person. Operators dealing with operators.
You own a franchised business, shown by its franchise documents, read by a person at Revanu.
Track record, references, funds and identity, read by a person. The one badge required for something: applying to a partnership listing.
Nobody is locked out. You can browse every listing, save searches, and write to sellers without verifying anything. Sellers choose how their inquiries sort, and a seller who sorts verified inquiries first reads those first. Optional beats mandatory because it stays honest: the badge means something precisely because it was not required. Three things are gated, none of them on the buying side: applying to a partnership listing needs the operator badge, because the owner is choosing a partner rather than answering a buyer; publishing a partnership listing needs the owner badge; and a broker firm’s listings publish once its license is approved. Reading a partnership listing in full, financials included, never needs a badge.
Two sides, one process.
Revenue, EBITDA, margin, and recurring share are on every listing before you write to anyone.
Run the valuation on any listing to see whether the asking price sits inside a defensible range.
Connect your bank and it is automatic. Send a document instead and a person reads it. Either lasts 12 months.
Requests, releases, versions, and who opened what — tracked in a deal room instead of an email thread.
What changes in practice.
What the figure is, and what it is not.
The valuation applies a sector multiple to reported earnings, then adjusts for the characteristics buyers reliably pay more or less for: recurring revenue, growth, tenure, owner involvement, customer concentration.
It produces a range, not a price, and it says so. Seller figures are unverified at that stage and we label them as such. A tool that pretends to certainty it does not have would undermine the only thing we are selling.
Applied to reported earnings, then adjusted. Sector medians are illustrative until comparable-transaction data replaces them.
Every factor that moved the multiple is listed with its direction and size, so you can argue with it.
At valuation stage the numbers are self-reported and labeled as such. Diligence is where they get tested.
A point estimate would imply certainty the data cannot support. You get a range and a confidence score.
Confidentiality is the default, not a setting you find later.
Documents are read by a person. A bank connection is read automatically — nothing about a balance needs a human, and we do not claim one was involved.
Basic, financial, and sensitive tiers, granted per buyer rather than all-or-nothing.
Links expire on a schedule the seller sets. Access can be closed at any time, and the buyer is told.
Sellers see who opened what and when — the most honest signal of whether a buyer is working.
The questions people actually ask.
Every listing checks out. So does every buyer.
Create an account, verify if and when you want to, and start seeing the deals that never make it to the open market.
