frequently asked questions

Our name comes from a mash up of two words - 'website' and 'investor'.  A WebVestor is someone who invests in websites and other digital assets.

On a high-level, the process looks something like this:

1. Determine what your target acquisition looks like.
2. Identify a prospective business.
3. Speak with the seller.
4. Submit a letter of intention.
5. Perform due diligence.
6. Renegotiate with the seller.
7. Close on the sale.
8. Transfer the assets.
9. Begin operating/managing the business.

Of course, these steps do not tell the whole story as the process itself varies greatly. For detailed coursework and supporting resources on the subject, consider joining The Academy. If you're not ready for that commitment, then we share a lot of valuable information on our blog as well.

Is real estate investing or stock market investing risky? It certainly can be. Like all investments, there are varying degrees of risk involved in the buying and selling of online businesses. Understanding those risks and taking steps to mitigate them is the sign of an intelligent investor.

A peer-to-peer (P2P) service is a decentralized platform whereby two individuals interact directly with each other, without intermediation by a third party. The WebVestor marketplace was deliberately designed as P2P to empower buyers and sellers to handle their own affairs. We don't meddle in our members' business. Of course, members are free to work with brokers or any other third-party of their choosing throughout the acquisition process. In fact, we generally recommend working with professionals but WebVestor does not get involved in that.  We created the marketplace to be a neutral place for buyers and sellers of online businesses to handle transactions how they see fit.

Yes; you can read our full community guidelines here.

Nope. List as many businesses as you want, free of charge.

Of course not. Sellers keep 100% of their sell price.

Listings stay live for 6 weeks, at which point the listing reverts to a draft state. Listings can easily be republished and reset for another 6 weeks ad infinitum. We do this to keep the marketplace fresh.

We're more than a marketplace - we're a private community that also provides educational resources to empower buyers and sellers to make informed decisions.

No. WebVestor Pro subscriptions give members access to the Academy, Community and Marketplace. We've designed these distinct offerings to work synergistically together and believe the best way for our members to get the most out of their membership is to have access to all of our tools. They are not sold separately at this time.

Members can receive support through the community forums and/or private questions can be addressed directly with the support team. Rest assured that you will have all the support you require as a Pro Member.
