Frequently Asked Questions
Will my company name be public?
No. Your company name, website, founder identity, and contact details are not shown publicly in the private marketplace. Buyers first see anonymized business information only.
Who approves buyer access?
HTBS admins review buyer and investor requests before deeper access is granted. Your details are shared only after the request is qualified and approved.
When do investors see my identity?
Investors see your identity only after HTBS approval and your confirmation to move forward. Early discovery remains anonymized.
How long does review take?
Review time depends on how complete your submission is. Strong submissions with clear metrics, documents, and business details are easier to review quickly.
What documents do I need to submit?
You can start with key SaaS metrics, revenue details, traffic data, customer overview, churn details, and basic financial information. Deeper documents can be shared later when required.
Can I reject an investor request?
Yes. You stay in control. HTBS can screen the request, but you can decide whether a buyer or investor should move forward.
Do I need to upload financial statements?
Not always at the first stage. Basic revenue, profit, growth, and operating metrics can start the review. Detailed financials may be requested before serious buyer access.
When is the intro call scheduled?
Once HTBS approves the match and both sides are ready, the intro call is scheduled through Cal.com for a clean and structured discovery conversation.
How is pricing handled?
Pricing depends on your listing, support needs, deal process, and whether you need advisory help. HTBS can explain available options before you proceed.
Is there any upfront fee?
Any upfront fee, success fee, or premium support fee will be discussed transparently before you commit. There are no surprise charges.
Can I list without a final valuation?
Yes. You can submit your SaaS even if your valuation is not finalized. HTBS can help position your business using revenue, growth, margin, and buyer interest.
What happens after approval?
Your opportunity becomes available inside the private marketplace flow. Approved buyers or investors can request access, and HTBS helps coordinate next steps.
