Buying a Web Business or Digital Asset
At the very least, there needs to be a clear agreement on terms. A contract will stipulate the terms of sale and, typically, the seller will draw up the contract. Here's a business asset purchase and sale template. You will be re-directed to our contract provider, LawDepot.com. As a Hatchit user, you will receive a 10% discount on any eligible purchase.
It’s always advisable to consult with an attorney if there are issues which come up that fall outside of your expertise or comfort zone.
A NDA or Non-Disclosure Agreement is designed to protect confidential information related to the business. Not all sellers will require this be signed by a prospective buyer. However, it is standard practice to sign one, if the seller requires it. Access this NDA form. You will be re-directed to our contract provider, LawDepot.com. As a Hatchit user, you will receive a 10% discount on any eligible purchase.
We recommend you use our escrow agent and follow the asset verification process as outlined by them. Initiate an asset verified transaction. You will be re-directed to our contract provider, LawDepot.com.
It’s up to the buyer and seller to determine the terms of the sale. Buyers should seek to withhold payment for an asset until there is agreement on price and terms, and the asset has been verified. When using Escrow.com, the buyer pays for the asset at the time of sale but payment is withheld from the seller until the asset has been verified.
Most asset sales are software, apps and other types of intellectual property and will not include physical inventory. If inventory is included in a sale, the listing should indicate it.
Avoiding Scams and Fraud
If an asset seems too good to be true, it probably is. Use good judgement and common sense. Look for warning signs such as a buyer/seller refusing to meet you on a video call, pressuring you to buy, completing a rushed transaction outside of Escrow, or an unclear understanding of the asset.
Phishing is when a company asks for personal information through an email. We will never do that. If you receive an email from Hatchit that seems suspicious, please forward it to us at support@hatchit.us so we can look into it.
We don’t recommend using checks, a cash app or PayPal, because of potential problems. The most secure method is to complete a transaction through our escrow agent.
Yes. We cannot offer any guarantees to a buyer about the assets purchased. It would be up to you as a buyer to inquire about a return policy if it is desired.
