M&A advisor vs self-serve marketplace.
Two strong platforms, built for two different sizes of deal. Here's the clear distinction.
The short version
Acquire.com is a self-serve marketplace built for micro deals - small SaaS, e-commerce, and agency businesses, usually under $1M - that connects you with individual buyers who want to take over and run an existing business.
BizPort is a full-service sell-side M&A advisor for established companies. Our deal size is $1M to $10M in EBITDA / $2M to $30M enterprise value. We run a confidential, competitive process to strategic and institutional buyers like private equity and family offices. Two strong options, built for two different sizes of deal.
The core difference
Two strong paths - built for different deals.
Acquire.com does a lot right for the sellers it serves. BizPort is built for a different size and type of sale.

Acquire.com
A marketplace for micro deals
Self-serve · you list → buyers come to you
A strong self-serve platform (formerly MicroAcquire) for small digital businesses - SaaS, e-commerce, apps, and agencies, generally under $1M. You list to a large pool of registered buyers, backed by a customer success manager, built-in tools, and free escrow. It's an efficient, proven path for a smaller sale, and especially good for individual buyers looking to take over and run an existing business.
