Valuation

Testimonials
I engaged WebAcquisition on 3 pieces of work for a business acquisition: marketing and technical diligence, financial diligence, and an opportunity identification and evaluation report (what they call “Easy Wins”). I was very pleased with all three, with the two diligence pieces giving me good comfort, and the Easy Wins report opening my aperture for what was possible after acquisition.

I hired Mushfiq and his team for their concierge Deal Sourcing service. Over a 8 month period, the team worked to source deals both on and off-market that met my investment criteria. We found a stable $2M eCommerce business that we closed on. They assisted in structuring the deal where we put down 60% and the rest seller financed. They also performed due diligence to ensure it was a stable business. Overall, the service is highly recommended!
Twenty Hours
Mushfiq and team did an outstanding job on their due diligence, identifying a critical element in the business that we were looking at that caused us to back away from the deal. Really appreciate the attention to detail and thoroughness of their evaluation of our potential acquisition target and I definitely plan to use them again.
I purchased a package of five “site reviews” by Mushfiq. I am super impressed with the feedback Mushfiq gives and the value delivered. Even though I have not moved forward purchasing any of the sites I’ve asked Mushfiq to review, I wouldn’t think of buying an online business without getting his take first. I’ve learned a ton from him on each review delivered.
Mushfiq and the team are experts and are always great to work with. Not only do they have a very quick turnaround on Due Diligence reports themselves (I’ve used them twice now for two successful purchases), Mushfiq is always available for follow-up questions. He is also extremely quick to respond. Would recommend.

“Mushfiq & his team did a great job with the full due diligence report… Not only did he look at the financials but did a full analysis on domain history, website history, market analysis, traffic, SEO, backlink, projections, valuation & deal structure and more. This is what I needed to make an informed decision and to acquire the business… I would definitely hire him again to do my M&A due diligence.”
Jon Kong
WebAcquisitions was fast, responsive, and most competitively priced. Turning around my report in only 5 days, they are one of the few firms that do a thorough SEO assessment as well as validating revenues. Mushfiq’s experience allowed us to catch things that weren’t on our radar.

The Wisdom Group
WebAcquisition team performed a due diligence review of a content website we wanted to acquire from Empire Flipper’s brokerage. They reviewed everything related to the website and provided insights that have helped us make a decision. Recommended!
My consultation with WebAcquisition was very valuable and insightful. I was seeking feedback on potentially merging two sites into one and the conversation helped determine the best path forward, but also covered some other things like better monetization techniques. Extremely knowledgeable and experienced

I was very happy with the [Amazon KDP] report as it opened my eyes and without question prevented me from making a big mistake.
The report covers everything and makes your decision a lot easier, the money is well spent.
I highly recommend WebAcquisition.

The DD report was very informative, detailed, and expertly put together.
It was a valuable tool to help inform my decision on the [YouTube channel] business I was looking to acquire. It was money well spent considering the cost of the business I was looking to buy. I highly recommend their services.
Brian Alper
It’s always a good idea to have another set of eyes review a deal, regardless of size. I’ve worked with Mushfiq, David and their team a few times now on pre-deal due diligence services. It is clear that they are very knowledgeable about the ecommerce space, highlighting the pros and cons of each deal and providing a thorough review of potential acquisitions, including any potential red flags. I would not hesitate to hire them again.
Andrew Valen
Mushfiq has done a few due diligence reports for me and they were all excellent.
He is very thorough in his analysis and review of the business and industry. He found some red flags that I never would have found and likely saved me from some bad acquisitions. I also did a consulting call with him to help with my acquisition strategy. The call was great and he helped me refine my strategy and focus. I would definitely recommend Mushfiq.
