I listed my company with MicroAcquire, now known as aquire.com

I'm a small business, high profitability, pretty scalable, not a venture type biz, generally a micro business.

I earn 250k or so per year, low margins, and provide a real value.

I saw Micro Aquire show up and the founder and I had connections, so I was like amazing! Let's do this.

They even featured me as a business that would be ideal (aka Featured Startup)

I assume we aren't supposed to be venture scale businesses here.

I listed, never sold, not their fault, for like 2 years

I've been listed as a premium startup, I thought that meant something interesting like high revenues low expenses

I've been a premium startup for a while now

Then today I decided to update the multiple that I was willing to sell my company based on the current market conditions, like 3x revenue

This is the only change I've made, now I'm not listed and have been removed

Given the current market conditions I feel that this is fair, but now I'm unlisted

What the F is happening?


Have you considered listing somewhere else? BitsForDigits might be a good option instead.


Thanks I'll have a look


Can you say "cheers" in Utah? You must be referring to non-alcoholic Red Punch, and not what "cheers" really implies! :) Congrats Russell.


We're obviously talking about Martinelli's Sparkling Cider
