Review the intended customer, the problem the product addresses, the setup level, and the ongoing work. A good acquisition should suit your skills, time, and willingness to operate it.
THE VENTURE LOTS BUYER GUIDE
A practical guide for people considering a defined digital business package. It explains what to evaluate before an acquisition, what a handoff can include, and what you will be responsible for after it.
Review the intended customer, the problem the product addresses, the setup level, and the ongoing work. A good acquisition should suit your skills, time, and willingness to operate it.
Before deciding, review the materials offered for diligence: code, documentation, design, known gaps, setup requirements, and third-party dependencies.
The agreement and transfer manifest should name the code, design, documentation, and brand materials that are included. Do not assume credentials, customer data, licences, or paid services transfer automatically.
After handoff, the buyer owns hosting, accounts, security, privacy, support, improvements, and growth. Plan that transition before completing an acquisition.
