Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about investing through Revvirt — and selling your business on our platform.

For Investors
All Revvirt offerings are made pursuant to Regulation A, Tier 2 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Reg A+ Tier 2 is the most investor-friendly exemption available under U.S. securities law — it allows both accredited and non-accredited investors to participate, requires a full offering circular qualified by the SEC, and mandates ongoing semi-annual and annual financial reporting. Each offering circular is publicly available on the SEC's EDGAR database and on our platform before any investment is accepted.
The minimum investment is $100 for most offerings, and $250–$500 for select larger raises. There is no maximum investment cap for accredited investors. Non-accredited investors may invest up to the greater of 10% of their annual income or net worth per 12-month period under Reg A+ rules. We designed these minimums intentionally — real business ownership should not be reserved for the wealthy.
Returns come in two forms: quarterly cash distributions from operating profits, and exit proceeds when the business is eventually sold. Quarterly distributions are calculated based on each business's available free cash flow after operating expenses, debt service (if any), and a reasonable working capital reserve. Distributions are deposited directly to your linked bank account. Exit proceeds are distributed pro-rata to all investors at the time of sale, typically 3–7 years after acquisition.
Your investment is illiquid until a business exit event — typically 3–7 years. There is currently no secondary market for Revvirt securities. You should only invest funds you are comfortable holding for the duration of the expected hold period. Do not invest emergency funds or capital you may need in the near term. Revvirt is actively developing a tokenized secondary market that would allow investors to trade positions peer-to-peer in the future — this is a pipeline feature and is not yet available.
Revvirt focuses on profitable, established small businesses in essential industries: manufacturing, trades (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, mechanical), automotive services, logistics, and B2B professional services. We target businesses with $500K–$5M in annual revenue, positive EBITDA, at least 5 years of operating history, and a motivated seller — typically a retiring Baby Boomer owner. We do not acquire startups, turnarounds, distressed businesses, or businesses in highly speculative industries.
Our AI engine evaluates every acquisition candidate across 47 distinct metrics organized into five categories: (1) Financial health — revenue trend, EBITDA margin, owner compensation normalization, working capital; (2) Customer health — concentration, contract status, tenure; (3) Operational health — employee retention, key-man dependency, equipment condition; (4) Market position — competitive density, pricing power, sector tailwinds; (5) Exit potential — comparable transaction multiples, operator availability, strategic buyer interest. Businesses scoring below our threshold are not listed — period.
Yes, subject to local securities laws in your country of residence. Revvirt's SEC Reg A+ offerings are generally available to international investors, but it is your responsibility to confirm that participating does not violate any law in your jurisdiction. We cannot accept investments from residents of countries subject to U.S. economic sanctions. International investors complete the same KYC/AML process as U.S. investors. Contact our team for country-specific guidance.
All investments carry the risk of loss — including the possible loss of your entire principal. If a portfolio business underperforms, Revvirt's AI monitoring system detects anomalies early and our operator network enables rapid intervention. Revvirt may replace the operator, bring in turnaround expertise, or — in worst-case scenarios — pursue an orderly sale of the business to return maximum value to investors. All risk factors specific to each offering are disclosed in the offering circular. We are transparent about downside scenarios, not just upside projections.
For Sellers
The typical timeline from first contact to close is 30–60 days, compared to 12–18 months with a traditional broker. Here's how it breaks down: submission and preliminary AI valuation (1–3 days), full AI + CPA due diligence (3–4 weeks), offering listing and investor funding (days to 1–2 weeks depending on deal size), legal documentation and close (1–2 weeks). The speed comes from our AI-powered diligence, our pre-qualified investor base, and the elimination of contingent financing.
No broker commissions — ever. Traditional business brokers charge 6–10% of the sale price, which on a $1M transaction means $60,000–$100,000 out of your pocket at close. Revvirt charges no seller commission. Instead, we charge a platform fee (typically 5% of the raise) that is funded by investor capital — not deducted from your proceeds. You receive the full negotiated sale price. This is one of the most meaningful financial advantages of selling through Revvirt.
Revvirt's business model is built around long-term alignment with investors and sellers, not upfront fees. We earn revenue in three ways: (1) a platform fee of 5% on each raise, funded from investor capital; (2) a 1–2% annual management fee on assets under management, charged from operating cash flow; and (3) a 10–20% carried interest on exit profits above a preferred return threshold. Our incentives are permanently aligned with yours — we only win significantly when you win significantly.
Employee continuity is a core acquisition criterion at Revvirt — not an afterthought. Every operator we deploy is incentivized through equity ownership to retain, develop, and grow the existing team. Our AI monitors employee retention metrics post-acquisition. Businesses where a new owner is planning significant layoffs do not meet our acquisition criteria. We acquire businesses because they're healthy, profitable, and community-anchoring — and the team is a fundamental part of that. Your employees are not a cost to cut; they're the asset we're buying.
