Don't Buy a Business Until You've Verified Everything
Most buyers are misled not because they were reckless, but because they trusted a story. We have reviewed tens of thousands of deals and protected over $200M in acquisitions for eCommerce, SaaS, and media business buyers worldwide.
The Most Expensive Mistake in Online Business Acquisitions
Sellers/Brokers do not lie outright. They omit. They frame. They present the best 6-12 months as the new normal. Without deep, independent due diligence you are making a life changing decision based on a curated story.
Revenue Misrepresentation
We rebuild every P&L from source data including bank statements, Stripe, PayPal, Shopify and GA4. Not the spreadsheet the seller emailed you. The actual numbers, reconstructed independently.
Traffic and SEO Risk
We analyse 36 months of organic traffic, penalty history, link profile quality, and Google Core Update exposure. Many deals look profitable until you find out they are three months from a penalty.
Hidden Dependencies
One supplier. One platform. One traffic source. One key person. We map every single point of failure so you know exactly what you are inheriting, not just what you are buying.
Valuation Accuracy
Our CVA certified valuation process compares real earnings against comparable transactions. We do not accept broker multiples at face value. We verify them against market reality.

How We Work
From enquiry to final report, we run a transparent and structured process with clear communication at every stage. You will never be left wondering what is happening with your deal.
You Are Not Hiring a Report Factory
Every deal is reviewed by a specialist, not farmed to a junior analyst with a checklist. You get direct access to the people who have seen and stopped thousands of bad deals.
Since 2014 Jaryd has personally analysed tens of thousands of online business deals and guided buyers through over $200M in acquisitions that have genuinely changed their lives. His guiding principle: "Don't prove the business is a good investment, prove it's a bad investment, and if we can't, we must buy."
Justin holds a CVA designation, one of the most rigorous business valuation credentials available. He leads all financial due diligence, P&L reconstruction, and quality of earnings analysis. His valuations have supported SBA loan applications, investor packages, and acquisition financing at every deal size we work on.
Lyn runs the operational and technical side of every engagement, managing the data room, coordinating with sellers and brokers, and diving deep into SEO profiles, tech stacks, and business operations. She is the reason our deadlines get hit and no stone ever goes unturned.
Real Results. Real People.
Jaryd has helped and taught tens of thousands of people to acquire online businesses so they can replace their income and spend more time doing what they love. Here are some of their stories.
"John and I almost acquired a failing 7 figure business. Jaryd found out, stopped us, and helped us acquire our first 7 figure online business in our Holding Company. Our goal is to build an 8 figure business empire and we are well on our way."
"Being an entrepreneur and restaurant owner I know the struggle of a startup and wanted to leave it all behind. Jaryd helped me acquire a great online business that gave me the income replacement and lifestyle freedom I had been working toward."
"Jaryd's process is unlike anything else out there. The due diligence work he and his team do is genuinely institutional grade. It gave me complete confidence going into the deal and the M&A strategy call was worth every cent on its own."
"The team uncovered issues with the P&L that the broker had glossed over. What they found would have cost me significantly more than the DD fee at the negotiation table. It paid for itself many times over."
"As a first time buyer I had no idea what I did not know. The Due Diligence and strategy call with Jaryd completely changed how I saw the deal. I went from uncertain to confident and closed within the exclusivity window."
"I have used other DD services before. BOB is in a completely different category. The SEO and traffic risk analysis alone is more thorough than what others provide in their full package. The network access to lawyers and lenders was a genuine bonus I did not expect."

Common Questions
When should I engage you, before or after LOI?
We recommend engaging as soon as you have a deal you are seriously considering, even before LOI. Starting early means we can flag deal breakers before you are emotionally and legally committed. If you have already signed an LOI, no problem. We begin immediately and work to your exclusivity window deadline.
What business types do you specialise in?
We specialise in eCommerce businesses (Shopify, WooCommerce, Amazon FBA, D2C brands), SaaS products (B2B and B2C, including micro SaaS), and media and content businesses (affiliate sites, blogs, newsletters, YouTube channels, social media accounts, digital media brands). These three categories are where we have the deepest expertise.
What if the deal falls through after we have started?
If a deal falls through after we have begun, the most likely reason is that our due diligence uncovered something significant, which means the service has done exactly what it was designed to do. We have already allocated specialist team, time and expert analyst hours on your behalf. That work cannot simply be returned, and we operate as a professional service firm. That said, we genuinely want long term relationships with serious acquirers, so we offer a meaningful discount on your next DD engagement. Protecting you from a bad deal is a far better outcome than any refund.
Do you work on deals outside the US?
Absolutely. Online businesses are borderless and so are we. We work on deals across the US, UK, Australia, Canada, Europe, and beyond. The business model and financials drive our analysis, not the geography.
How is BOB different from other DD services?
Most DD services apply generic accounting frameworks to online businesses. We have spent years exclusively in eCommerce, SaaS, and media acquisitions. We know the specific fraud patterns, the platform risks, the SEO red flags, and the metrics that actually matter. You also get a direct M&A strategy session with Jaryd himself and a CVA certified valuation. No other specialist DD service in this space offers that combination.
