Frequently Asked Questions about buying an Internet business
Q. Can I have my own choice of domain name for my business?
A. Yes if you inform us of which domain name that you prefer, we will purchase it and register it in your name and details.
Q. I have seem online business for sale for just a few hundred pounds, so what's the difference between those and the businesses you are selling ?
A. Firstly, we do not compare what we have to offer with these cheaper options as they are totally different in who these are aimed at. Secondly, We do not sell copied template online opportunities either.
Not to offend anyone reading this but the cheaper options you may see offered for a few hundred pounds are simply chance opportunities aimed at anyone who may fall for the "Make £10,000 a week whilst you sleep" so called opportunities. We are looking for serious entrepreneurs and business minded people who really do want to own and operate a genuine internet based business, hence why we specifically build you a bespoke unique website to high standards which take many man hours to optimise and tweak for the highest performance in your market. (See, What is included in the sale? for further details)
