The whole sale price
Most brokers and marketplaces take a percentage of the sale. StartExus takes nothing, so what the buyer pays is what you receive.

// why free
More listings, more buyers, better deals
No listing fee
Some marketplaces charge to list or a monthly fee to stay listed. Listing on StartExus costs nothing, for as long as it takes to sell.
No buyer paywall
Buyers see listings without a subscription, which means more eyes on your business.
No success fee
Sell for $5k or $1M and keep all of it. We never take a percentage of your sale.
Optional escrow
We recommend closing through Escrow.com, an independent, licensed escrow company that holds the buyer's money until the transfer is confirmed. It charges its own fee, agreed between buyer and seller. StartExus adds nothing on top and never holds your money.

Common questions
Selling something larger or unusual? Email info@startexus.com and we'll help you prepare the listing.
email usIs StartExus free to use?
Yes, for both sides. Buyers browse, message and make offers for free. Sellers list and sell for free. There is no listing fee, no success fee and no buyer fee.
What fees does StartExus charge?
None. Listing is free and there is no success fee when your business sells. There are no monthly or upfront fees either. If you use escrow, Escrow.com charges its own fee for holding the funds, which buyer and seller agree how to split.
How does payment work?
Close however you both agree. For most deals we recommend Escrow.com, a licensed escrow company: the buyer’s money is held until the transfer is complete and the buyer confirms it, so neither side has to trust the other with the money. StartExus never holds money and takes no cut.
Should I ever pay a seller directly?
Never pay a seller directly before the assets have transferred; use escrow for anything you couldn’t afford to lose. Be wary of anyone who pushes you to skip escrow or pay in crypto, and report them to us.
