Words we use

- Proposal
- Your reply to an RFP: how you'd do the work, who would do it, and what it costs.
- Bidding site
- A website where governments and large organizations publish their RFPs. Also called a procurement portal.
- Asking price
- What the seller wants for the business. The final price is often lower.
- Revenue and profit
- Revenue is all the money coming in. Profit is what's left after costs.
- Price vs. yearly profit
- The asking price divided by 12 months of profit. A quick way to compare prices. Buyers often call it the multiple.
- Due diligence
- The checks you should make before buying a business.
- SaaS
- Software as a Service: software people pay for monthly or yearly instead of buying once.
- Churn
