Everything the deal needs.
Publisher in a Box runs the sale and the services around it, so a buyer or a seller closes an entity transfer without assembling five vendors first. Some of these run today. The rest are in development, and this page says which is which.
Run by Publisher in a Box.
3 services · available now
PIB delivers these with its own team. Each one has a page on the main PIB site with the full scope and the current terms.
For sellers
Available nowProfessional Asset Valuation
Paid engagement
PIB values the asset independently before it goes to market, so the asking price rests on documented numbers rather than a guess.
- The PIB team reviews revenue history, payout records, traffic, and primary expenses.
- You keep the written valuation report whether or not the asset lists.
- A paid engagement, priced against the size and complexity of the asset.
- Standard on the PIB Certified track and available on its own.
Buyers and sellers
Available nowTurnkey Management
50/50 revenue share
PIB operates the asset for the owner on a revenue split, so a buyer with no operating team still owns a working business on day one.
- PIB runs curation, posting cadence, and monetization on the owner's behalf.
- A 50/50 split on revenue earned under management. No retainer.
- Buyers acquire an asset they have no staff to run and hand operations to PIB at close.
- Sellers who stay under management through the handover give the buyer continuity.
Buyers and sellers
Available nowElite Consulting
$8,000 to $65,000
A defined engagement that puts the PIB operating team alongside the owner, from audit through execution plan.
- Tiered packages from $8,000 to $65,000, priced on scope.
- Built on the PIB 5-Pillar Framework: curation, content, engagement, reach, and monetization.
- Buyers use it to take over an asset they intend to run themselves.
- One-time engagements. PIB builds the system and hands it off.
Deal support, in development.
4 services · not live yet
These are the pieces buyers ask for around a close. PIB has not signed a partner for any of them, so nothing here is for sale and no card hands you off to a third party. Registering interest tells PIB where the demand sits and puts you first in line.
For buyers
In developmentCompany formation
Intended partner: Tailor Brands
Every sale here is an entity transfer, so a buyer without a US company needs one before the close, and PIB plans to route that through Tailor Brands.
- PIB has not signed this arrangement yet. Nothing here is for sale today.
- The seller transfers 100 percent of an operating entity, and the buyer needs an entity to receive it.
- Buyers who need a company right now should use their own counsel or filing service.
- Tell PIB you want it and you go on the list for the day it opens.
For buyers
In developmentAcquisition financing
Buyers fund an acquisition from cash, a lender, or the seller, and PIB already structures the seller route into a transaction today.
- Seller financing and earnouts: PIB structures these into a deal now, and they are common at marketplace deal sizes.
- SBA 7(a) loans: a route for qualifying US buyers acquiring a business with established cash flow. PIB does not originate them.
- Specialist online-business acquisition lenders and revenue-based finance exist as a market. PIB holds no lender arrangement.
- Lender introductions are in development. PIB gives no financial or investment advice at any point.
Buyers and sellers
In developmentReps and warranties insurance
M&A insurance pays a buyer when a seller representation turns out to be wrong after the close, and PIB is scoping a provider.
- Standard on larger M&A transactions and still rare at the deal sizes this marketplace trades at.
- It sits behind the seller warranties in the purchase agreement rather than replacing them.
- PIB has no insurance partner and no broker relationship in place today.
- Register interest and PIB contacts you once a named provider is live.
For buyers
In developmentCross-border structuring
A buyer outside the United States who acquires a US operating entity needs a structure to hold it, and PIB is scoping a referral route to advisors who are licensed to build one.
- Buyers and sellers anywhere use the marketplace. The structure question is about the entity, not the account.
- Cross-border tax and entity questions need a licensed advisor. PIB is not one.
- PIB is scoping the referral route. Nothing is live and nothing is for sale here.
- Buyers who register interest let PIB size the demand before it commits.

What PIB does not do.
The limits, stated
A services page that lists only what a company sells tells you half the story. Here is the other half.
PIB never holds your money
Every transaction settles through Escrow.com. The buyer funds the escrow account directly and Escrow.com releases to the seller after the buyer confirms the transfer. PIB collects its commission through Stripe Connect after that release.
PIB gives no legal, tax, or investment advice
PIB structures transactions and prepares the entity transfer paperwork. Opinions on your tax position, your financing, or the enforceability of an agreement come from a licensed professional, not from us.
PIB introduces, it does not represent
Where a deal needs counsel, an accountant, a lender, or an insurer, PIB points you to qualified people and steps back. PIB names a partner on this page only after the arrangement is signed.
Start with the asset, not the add-ons.
Find something worth acquiring or put your own asset in front of verified buyers. The services attach to the deal once there is a deal.
