Deal Shortlist

For buyers of $10K–$100K software businesses

Describe the business you want to buy. We'll go and find it.

We read every new SaaS listing on Acquire, Flippa and TrustMRR against your criteria, and email you when one clears them — with the numbers we could verify, the ones we couldn't, and what to ask the seller next.

  • Invoice-reminder add-on for bookkeeping software

    $46,000 asking · $2,140 MRR · 3.6× SDE

    • Subscriptions only, churn 3.1%/mo — inside your 5% ceiling. Stripe export, 8 Aug.
    • Two hours a week of maintenance after handover.
    • Whether the API partnership survives a change of owner.

    Against your criteria

    • $46,000 — inside your $20–60k
    • Churn 3.1%/mo — inside your 5% ceiling
    • B2B, subscriptions only
    • 18% of signups came from paid ads — you ruled that out

    Checked before you make contact

    Revenue trend
    Flat across 6 months, with no single spike carrying it.
    Concentration
    Largest customer 9% of MRR.
    Distribution
    41% of signups organic, two pages ranking top-3.
    Rebuild cost
    Thin codebase — a competent dev clones this in a quarter.
    Founder dependency
    Sole support channel. No runbooks mentioned.

    Ask the seller: the churn cohort behind 3.1%, the ad spend by month, and who answers support the week after you take over.

  • Screenshot-annotation tool for support teams

    $28,500 asking · $1,190 MRR

    • Clears your price, stack and churn lines.
    • The founder is also the only support channel.

  • Uptime monitor sold to small agencies

    $38,000 asking · $1,050 MRR

    • Flagged, not filtered: the seller has cut the price twice in three weeks.
28

rejected — each with the criterion it missed.

A sample shortlist. The listings are invented for this page — the format is not.

Deal flow is not the problem. Reading it is.

Forty tabs, every weekend
Marketplace filters sort by asking price and a verified badge. Neither answers whether a listing clears your criteria.
Every number is the seller's number
A rounded MRR, a dashboard screenshot, a churn figure with no cohort behind it. Sorting evidence from assertion is the actual work.
The listing has a history you cannot see
Price cuts, edited metrics and quiet relistings leave no trace on the page you are reading.

How it works

Your criteria in, a short list out

  1. 1

    Describe what you want to buy

    One box, in plain English: your price range, the business models you want, what you rule out, and how soon you would close.

  2. 2

    We read every new listing

    Everything that appears on Acquire, Flippa and TrustMRR, checked against your criteria and against whatever evidence we can corroborate.

  3. 3

    You hear from us when one fits

    Not a daily digest. Some weeks that is three deals, some weeks it is none — and a quiet week is a result, not a gap in the service.

What is in every shortlist

Three labels, and nothing in between them

There is no single fit score. Averaging a supported churn figure with a claimed revenue figure would hide the one distinction a buyer is paying attention to.

Supported
Corroborated against a permissioned or public source, with the source and the date printed on the line.
Seller-claimed
Asserted in the listing, with nothing behind it yet. It stays claimed — a claim is never promoted because it sounds reasonable.
Unknown
Not visible from outside the business. Named anyway, because the gaps are what your first seller email should be about.
