The free plan is available only for your first profile on SMERGERS so you can understand how it works and experience the capabilities of the platform.

For consecutive profiles you will have to upgrade your profile to enjoy uninterrupted services.

If you are being asked to upgrade on your first profile, it could be because of a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, a similar profile on a different account, expiration of the profile term of your previous profile, default of fee payments towards SMERGERS, inactivity / bad experience for users etc. Please note that we will be unable to provide specific details regarding why your profile was marked as "Needs Upgrade" and any details of the previous profiles due to privacy reasons.

Question 33

What should one do if a member or a business owner doesn’t respond post the introduction?

Accepted Answer

Post the introduction if you’re unable to establish initial connect, then kindly report the issue on your dashboard. Ensure you've tried every means to reach out to the party after fetching the contact details available on your dashboard.

However, if the initial connect has already been established and the party is now not responding, then it would simply mean that they may not be interested to pursue the transaction with you. You may follow up after a few weeks if you wish to and then move on and explore the possiblility of connecting with other parties on the platform.

Question 34

What formalities need to be completed post successful deal closure?

Accepted Answer

Once a deal is successfully closed, as per T&C, both the investor/acquire/advisor and the business should promptly disclose in absolute good faith the correct transaction value and transaction closure date to SMERGERS by sending an email to info@smergers.com within 2 business days of transaction closure.

The business/franchisor is also liable to pay the finder’s fee, except in the case of advisor listed profiles as per the contractual agreement. In case of non-compliance, the onus falls on both investor and business to clear the finder’s fee along with penalty interest of 4% per month. Failure to do so would attract legal action from SMERGERS.

Question 35

When would SMERGERS re-credit an introduction?

Accepted Answer

Users need to report the issue with complete details on the specific introduction on their dashboard within 30 days from the date of introduction. Post reporting the issue, we reach out to the concerned business owner to understand the problem. Kindly note this process may take upto a week. Under the following circumstances, SMERGERS re-credits the introduction:

- No initial contact can be established between the business and the interested member

- Inital contact has been made, but it was learnt that the business is already sold or not available for transaction

- There is material difference between what is mentioned in the profile and the actuals of the business

Please note, SMERGERS may ask you for related documentary proof/email exchanges before accepting your request and recrediting your account.

Question 36

How long does it take to successfully close a deal on SMERGERS?

A proposal is an email alert sent to an investor/buyer by a business proactively. The proposal email contents include the same details provided in the business profile.

When SMERGERS triggers a proposal, it considers a combination of various parameters such as transaction type, deal value, location, industry preference, etc to identify prospects. From our prior experience, we see during discussions both parties stretch in terms of valuation and close deals and hence the system has been accordingly designed to relax the limits up to a certain percentage.
