How do I make an offer on a store?+
Open any store that is For Sale or Open to Offers and click Make an offer. Offers are non-binding and start a private thread with the seller. For anonymous listings, submitting an offer also requests the NDA that reveals the seller's identity.
What does the valuation multiple mean?+
The multiple is the asking price expressed as a ratio of the store's annual profit. A 3x multiple means the asking price is about three times trailing twelve-month profit — the quickest way to compare how aggressively two stores are priced.
How is the estimated fair valuation range calculated?+
TrustProfit applies a profit-multiple band — currently about 2.4x to 3.8x of trailing annual profit — to produce the low-to-high estimated fair range shown on each listed store. It is an automated estimate to frame negotiations, not a formal appraisal.
Is my identity protected during a deal?+
Yes. For anonymous listings your identity stays private until an NDA is executed, and acquisitions move through Escrow.com before any assets or funds change hands.
