How SPOTLIGHT Works
buy & sell
Sign up free. Buyers browse businesses with revenue details and operator backgrounds. Sellers list their business, set their price, and define their ongoing operator role and compensation.
own & operate
Buyer and seller agree on terms and payment goes into escrow. Full ownership transfers to buyer: domain, accounts, customers, IP, and all assets. Seller becomes the hired operator under management agreement. Escrow releases once transfer is verified.
profit & scale
All business revenue deposits into buyer's account. Buyer pays operator their management fee as agreed. Platform provides performance dashboards for both parties. Platform fees: 15% under $250K, 12% for $250K+.
What is SOCIAL PROOF?
After a SPOTLIGHT sells, sellers can create and sell derivative products based on operating the business: courses, templates, consulting, tools, and content. SPOTLIGHT Buyers earn revenue from licensing their business IP. Platform facilitates all transactions.
How SOCIAL PROOF Works
what sellers do
After a SPOTLIGHT sells, operators can create SOCIAL PROOF products: industry courses, consulting services, templates, and tools. Products should not reveal the buyer's proprietary methods or competitive advantages. All products must be approved before listing.
how buyers use their IP
The buyer owns all IP from the business. Operators license this IP to create SOCIAL PROOF products. Buyers approve all products and earn licensing fees from sales. Revenue splits are negotiated during the original SPOTLIGHT purchase and automatically distributed when products sell.
shared growth
New buyers purchase SOCIAL PROOF products like courses, templates, and tools. The SPOTLIGHT buyer earns licensing fees, the operator earns creation fees, and the platform takes 20%. Everyone benefits: original buyers earn passive income, operators monetize their expertise, new buyers access valuable resources.
SOCIAL PROOF
Resell or buy assets from SPOTLIGHTS.
