How do buyer pricing plans work?

A guide to Premium and Platinum buyer upgrades and why they make it easy to buy businesses

Last updated: September 28th, 2023

It's free to sign up and browse the Acquire.com marketplace.

However, you can't chat with founders or view their private listing information until you've upgraded to a Premium or Platinum buyer membership. 

When you're ready to pursue an acquisition seriously, compare our pricing plans and then decide which is the most appropriate for you. 

Below is an overview of each pricing plan and what it gives you. 

How buyer pricing plans work with Nathan from our product team

What you get with Premium

Premium gives you full access to all startups up to $250k in TTM revenue.

In other words, you can contact founders of startups making up to $250k in TTM revenue, and if they approve, view their full startup and seller profile. 

You also get:

  • Unlimited access to our legal document builders
  • Fully guided acquisition workflow, with expert help when you need it
  • Curated listings and matching by our in-house M&A team
  • Verified seller and startup profiles (ID, email, and social media)
  • Unlimited chat conversations and acquisition actions
  • Our FREE buyer course with Fomo.com founder and Fork Equity partner, Ryan Kulp

Premium is a good starter plan if you're just getting into M&A, only want to pursue startups of a certain size, or if this is to be your first acquisition.

Premium subscriptions are $390 per year, billed annually on a recurring basis.

What you get with Platinum 

Upgrade to Platinum and you get full access to startups of all sizes.

You get everything from Premium:

  • Unlimited access to our legal document builders
  • Fully guided acquisition workflow, with expert help when you need it
  • Curated listings and matching by our in-house M&A team
  • Verified seller and startup profiles (ID, email, and social media)
  • Unlimited chat conversations and acquisition actions
  • Our FREE buyer course with Fomo.com founder and Fork Equity partner, Ryan Kulp

Choose Platinum if you acquire startups for a living or want access to the biggest and best startups.

Platinum subscriptions are $780 per year, billed annually on a recurring basis. 

Cancelations and refunds

We want you to be happy with your subscription.

If, for whatever reason, you change your mind and want to cancel within the first seven days of your initial paid plan, we'll give you a full refund. 

Just drop us a line at support@acquire.com and we'll arrange your cancelation for you.

However, we can't issue a pro-rated refund for cancelations outside of the first seven days of your plan, or if you've used your plan to contact a founder. Upgrades from Premium to Platinum subscriptions also cannot be refunded.
