WHAT OUR MEMBERS ARE SAYING
Frequently Asked Questions
Our average deal top line revenue per company is about $22 Million right now. Even though we have a fairly low minimum we strive to have deals of all sizes on the platform as we have buyers looking for deals from $5 Million in revenue to over $1 Billion. We are industry and geography agnostic.
Over the past decade a lot of frustration has been built up over an age-old practice of referral fees. Ambiguity and unreasonable fees for represented deals have put a wrench into what should be a wonderful process – getting a deal done. High fees are often added to deal modeling and can change or eliminate offers which is against our mission. Dozens of interviews with all types of buyers resulted in an agreement that 0.5% is a more than fair fee that will not change deal structure at all. Please be aware that we do have a minimum success fee of $60,000 USD.

When an Advisor adds a deal to CIM Amplify they choose one of 3 reward levels:
- Seed – deals will be made widely available on other deal platforms. Most of our buyers refuse deals from this level – you will get very few buyer matches.
- Reward: $10 Amazon Gift Card for posting with us
- Bloom – give CIM Amplify a two week head start! Deals posted exclusively on CIM Amplify for two weeks and no other deal sites including your own website.
- Reward: $25 Amazon Gift Card for posting with us PLUS $5,000 if acquired via CIM Amplify
- Fruit – deals posted exclusively on CIM Amplify and no other deal sites including your own website.
- Reward: $50 Amazon Gift Card for posting with us PLUS $10,000 if acquired via CIM Amplify
Over the past few years, mergers and acquisitions professionals have witnessed an unprecedented influx of search funds and entrepreneurship-through-acquisition (ETA) buyers entering the market. These are often first-time acquirers – MBA graduates, young professionals, or even social media-inspired entrepreneurs – seeking to buy and run a business. Many of these newcomers are underqualified “tire kickers” who struggle to close deals, especially those chasing the popularized idea of buying a business with “no money down.” Deals get bogged down because of the need to qualify and quantify.
We hear you and do not want to add to the problem. Our solutions include:
- Larger deals of at least $1 Million EBITDA or, failing that, $5 Million in revenue
- “Ability to close” filters for every deal
- “Report buyer” button that allow Advisors to make us aware of potentially fake buyers
Sorry! We are registering new buyers every day but the nature of the platform is that buyers choose what they want to see based on their investment criteria. As long as you leave the deal “On Market” we will notify you if a buyer registers that fits the deal and you can decide to send it to them, or not. And you get to keep the gift card – no matter what.
Sorry! Our promise to you is to not fill your inbox with irrelevant deals. When you do receive an email from us – open it because it is a match. Or… check your spam filter.
No! Many of the places you give your information to use that data for SEO purposes and essentially post your profiles and deals to the wide internet. We happily sacrifice Google Ranking for your security.
Fill out a buyer profile and deals that match your mandate will be sent to you.
It’s something new. We took the hundreds of deal descriptions added to CIM Amplify 1 and ran them through Claude to try to create a taxonomy that wasn’t too…taxing.
For buyers we suggest being broad and choosing first levels as advisors can only choose one second level per deal.
The original CIM Amplify platform, launched in October 2024, quickly gained amazing traction with over $3 Billion in deals (none scraped), all with more than $1 Million in EBITDA. The original platform was a general posting site. We learned quickly that buyers don’t have time to scroll deals and hate that a deal on our site may be on other sites. We also learned that most top Advisors have client requirements where they need to get buyers approved before approaching them – and open listings have the Tire-Kicker problem. We solved those issues and many more with this version launched in August 2025. TL:DR – No
