What we do

We run the whole thing, so you don't have to

Selling a business is a job on top of running one. That's the part we take off your plate.

01

We figure out what it's worth

You connect your numbers and answer a few questions. We come back with a real valuation range based on what businesses like yours actually sell for, not a guess and not a number designed to flatter you.

02

We get it ready to sell

Most businesses aren't sale-ready on day one. We tighten up the things buyers poke holes in, put the financials in order, and build the deal room so diligence doesn't fall apart halfway through.

03

We take it to market, quietly

Your business goes out anonymized. We bring it to vetted buyers, handle the NDAs, and field the interest so you're not stuck answering the same questions twenty times or tipping off your competitors.

04

We screen every buyer

Anyone who gets past the teaser gets vetted first. We check proof of funds, ask how they plan to run the business, and filter out the tire kickers and bargain hunters before they ever reach you.

05

We run the deal to close

Offers, negotiation, the back-and-forth with the buyer's lawyers, the wire. We've sat on both sides of this table and we don't let deals die over things that could have been handled.

06

We stay through the handover

Signing is not the finish line. We stay on for escrow, asset transfers, and the transition plan, until the buyer is fully in the seat and the money is fully in your account.

For sellers

Real, serious buyers.

The people viewing your business are signed in, vetted, and actually in the market, the kind of buyers who sign NDAs and show up ready to move. We do not broadcast your business to a crowd of browsers. We put it in front of qualified acquirers who can actually close.

For sellers

Your business stays protected.

Your sensitive information is gated behind an NDA, and every buyer who wants the details has to sign before they see a single number. Nothing confidential, your financials, your operations, your identity, is exposed to casual browsers. You control who gets access, and there is a record of everyone who signed.

Ben Zogby, founder of Zogby

Run by an operator

Don’t leave your Generational Exit up to chance.

I am Ben Zogby. I built an internet business and sold it for $1.8M, and since then I have bought several businesses of my own. I have sat on both sides of the table, as the founder sweating the exit and as the buyer underwriting the risk, and I know exactly how these transactions really work.

I built Zogby because too many great businesses never get the exit they deserve, and too many buyers overpay for the wrong deal and struggle after the handover. I want to see more founders exit well, and more buyers actually succeed with what they acquire.

So every deal here is run by someone who has built, valued, bought, and sold, all the way to close. You are never left to figure it out alone.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Zogby is a curated acquisition platform for buying and selling online businesses, run by an operator who has built, sold, and bought businesses himself. It is not an open marketplace. Both sides are vetted, so sellers meet serious buyers and buyers see real businesses with real numbers.

On most marketplaces anyone can list and anyone can browse, which means a lot of noise and a lot of deals that never close. Zogby is curated on both sides and run hands-on through to close. Every business is reviewed before it is listed, and buyers are screened before they get access to confidential details.

Your valuation is built from your real financials, revenue, profit, growth, retention, customer concentration, owner involvement, and how those compare to recent comparable deals. You get an estimated range with the specific factors that raise or lower it, so you can see what is driving the number and what could improve it.

Listing your business on Zogby is a flat fee to get vetted, prepared, and placed in front of qualified buyers. Beyond that, the economics of a successful sale are discussed directly so there are no surprises. The goal is a clean, well-run process that gets you to a strong close.

Your business is shown publicly under a code name with only high-level figures. Sensitive details, the real name, website, full financials, and supporting documents, are revealed only after a buyer signs an NDA and you approve their request. You control who gets access at every step.

A buyer requests access and signs the NDA from the listing. The request comes to you to approve or decline. Once you approve, that buyer unlocks the confidential details and a private deal room opens where you can message directly. Nothing is revealed until you say so.

Buyers on Zogby are screened acquirers, individual operators, search funds, holding companies, and strategic buyers, who complete a buyer profile before they can request access. You see that profile when they request your listing, so you know who you are dealing with before sharing anything.

Primarily profitable online businesses: SaaS and software, e-commerce, content and media, newsletters, and productized services. The common thread is real revenue, clean enough financials to diligence, and a story a serious buyer can underwrite.

It varies with size, complexity, and how prepared the business is, but a well-organized deal with clean financials and a motivated, fairly priced seller moves considerably faster than a cold listing. Preparation up front is the single biggest factor in a fast, clean close.

If you are selling, start a business in the dashboard, enter your numbers, and get your valuation, then prepare your listing. If you are buying, complete your buyer profile and browse available businesses. Either way you can reach out directly and an operator who has done these deals will help you through it.
