Set up the listing
- Complete the startup profile with current product and founder information.
- Choose Open to offers under Choose your listing.
- Enter a minimum acceptable offer.
- Connect a supported provider and complete revenue verification.

Prepare for buyer questions

Handle offers carefully
Start with a high-level conversation. Share sensitive documents only after checking the buyer and using appropriate confidentiality terms. Use qualified legal and financial advisers before accepting or signing an offer.
Bowora charges 0% commission, but payment, escrow, contracts, taxes, and transfer work remain the parties' responsibility.
How to set a minimum acceptable offer
Your minimum should be a floor you are willing to discuss, not a fantasy asking price. Start from verified MRR, margins, growth, owner dependence, and comparable indie SaaS outcomes, then leave room for diligence findings.
A clear floor filters unserious inquiries. Update it if metrics change, and never publish a number you would regret discussing in writing.
Thinking about ownership before you sell
Whether you eventually sell often traces back to how the company was funded. If you are still deciding between staying bootstrapped or raising outside capital, see the Bowora Guides comparison.
