A marketplace for websites. An advisor for your company.
Empire Flippers is a place to sell digital assets. BizPort is the firm that runs the sale. Our deal size: $1M to $10M in EBITDA / $2M to $30M enterprise value.
Got a profitable operating company and being told it has to fit a digital-asset marketplace? It doesn't. It needs an M&A process built for companies like yours.
The short answer
Empire Flippers is a curated marketplace and brokerage for digital businesses; BizPort is a full-service sell-side M&A advisor for operating companies. Empire Flippers is genuinely good at what it does - it vets your business, builds the listing, markets it to a verified pool of online-business buyers, and handles escrow and migration, all for a success fee with no upfront cost. But it sells websites, content sites, FBA stores, and smaller SaaS - not operating companies - and its blended commission runs 8–15% on the deals it typically handles.
BizPort represents operating companies. 3–8% success fee (tiered by deal size). We value the business, build the materials, proactively approach strategic and private-equity buyers, create competition, and negotiate. Empire Flippers fits profitable digital assets sold to its marketplace. BizPort is built for lower-middle-market companies that need a managed, competitive process. Deal size: $1M to $10M in EBITDA / $2M to $30M enterprise value.
At a glance
Two different things entirely.
This isn't open marketplace versus advisor - Empire Flippers is curated and genuinely full-service. The real divide is a digital-asset marketplace versus a represented, off-market sale of an operating company.

Why it matters
Three differences that move the number.
A marketplace circulates. BizPort targets.
Empire Flippers is curated, not open - that's a real strength. But it's still a marketplace: it vets your business, lists it (URL usually masked), and markets it to its pool of online-business buyers, who come and unlock it. That pool is serious and verified, but it's made of digital-asset investors and aggregators. The strategic acquirer or PE firm that pays the highest multiple for an operating company isn't shopping that marketplace.
BizPort works the other direction. We identify every strategic and financial buyer with a reason to want your business, approach them directly and by name, and run them against each other. For a $1M+ EBITDA operating company, the premium buyer is found, not browsed.
Full-service - but priced for websites.
Empire Flippers charges no upfront fee, with a blended commission of 15% on the first $700K of price, 8% up to $5M, and 2.5% above. BizPort: 3–8% success fee (tiered by deal size). Compare the total fee and service scope for your particular transaction.
And the fee buys a digital-asset sale: a valuation on a multiple of monthly profit, a marketplace listing, and a website migration. That's the right machine for a content site or an FBA store. It is not built to price, position, and structure the sale of an operating company.
A website sale is not a company sale.
Empire Flippers handles vetting, listing, escrow, and migration well - for digital assets. But selling an operating company involves work a marketplace transfer never touches: targeting named strategic acquirers, surviving quality-of-earnings and customer-concentration scrutiny, and negotiating real deal structure - earnouts, working-capital pegs, reps and warranties, and a transition plan. It also means protecting confidentiality with your staff, clients, and competitors throughout.
BizPort runs that full M&A process so you stay focused on operations - controlling the process, vetting every buyer, and keeping you out of one-on-one negotiations where an experienced acquirer holds the advantage.
Where Empire Flippers is the right call
We'll be straight with you.
If you're selling an established, profitable digital business - a content site, an Amazon or FBA store, an ecommerce brand, or a smaller SaaS - Empire Flippers is genuinely one of the best options available. Its vetting builds real buyer trust, its buyer pool is serious and verified, and it handles escrow and migration cleanly - a combination that can produce a fast outcome and a price premium over an open marketplace.
That asset isn't what we're built for, and we'll tell you so. BizPort represents operating companies - staffing and services firms, consumer brands, SaaS at scale - where the buyers are strategic acquirers and PE firms and a confidential, proactively-run M&A process changes the outcome. If you're selling a website, Empire Flippers may be a good fit. BizPort's deal size is $1M to $10M in EBITDA / $2M to $30M enterprise value.
