Typical online scam website
Typical online scam website. Don't waste your time signing up or giving them your info bc they'll take that and not open anything up to see unless you pay them additional money. None of their listings are exclusive they're all available on other platforms that aren't trying to make money for providing nothing of value.

Thank you for your feedback—we appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns, and we’re sorry to hear about your frustration.
DealStream has over 100,000 global members, many of whom use our free tools like listing creation and our AI-powered Search Genius. You're right—some listings also appear on other platforms. The key difference is that most sites charge sellers to post and allow buyers to inquire for free, often resulting in a flood of low-quality inquiries from less serious buyers.
Our model is the opposite: sellers list for free, while buyers pay a membership fee to inquire. This attracts more serious buyers and motivates sellers to respond. We've been around since 1995, with a strong reputation for connecting credible buyers and sellers. We hope this clarifies things.

SHOCKING BEHAVIOUR
I am running a Condultant Company and after verifying my identity they suspended my account without an specific reason. Just an article about rules are the right of admission. I know I did NOT violate any rule, so arbitrary and felt treated like a criminal, they can keep their website for themselves, disgusting behaviour.

We regret to hear about the suspension of your account. While it's not possible for us to individually vet every listing or member, we have put security measures in place to protect against fraud on our platform. In certain instances, this may lead to account suspensions as we may decide to err on the side of caution. Ensuring a safe and secure environment for all DealStream members is our utmost concern, and we are committed to this responsibility.

This is specific to customer service
Follow-up to my complaint.
The company and I resolved the problem, and we are moving forward. The core issue was communication; I prefer a phone call, and they prefer email to communicate with their customers.
If you wish to sell a product to the WORLD, this is the right company. I recommend them!
First message:
This is specific to customer service. I have requested a call from your staff (Rose) FIVE times. One of my listings is in the wrong category. It needs to be a special asset for sale, not in the oil category.
I have also requested a meeting with the company's marketing department regarding carbon offsets.

Many scammers and fraudsters have approached me on this site. This platform has zero credibility in my book.

First, we thank you for your business and appreciate your feedback.
Secondly, we take security very seriously on our website and have an ever-evolving process to weed scammers off of our site. As we progress in that process so do fraudsters and it becomes a never-ending battle. We are not alone in this struggle as our competitors have the same issue. Scammers change names, email addresses, websites, etc on the daily and we continue to refine our processes to catch them.
While we have processes in place to help prevent fraud we also have to rely on our members to help us as well. I assure you that we will continue to take aggressive action whenever we are notified of suspicious activity.
We take great pride in our Member Services and respond promptly to all messages. Please let us know if we can help resolve this issue. My email address is Rose@DealStream.com

Some brokers have overly complicated or…
Some brokers have overly complicated or even nonexistent processes. I've signed multiple NDAs, yet rarely receive meaningful information about the companies I'm interested in. Brokers seem to prioritize who views the information over providing relevant details to potential buyers. It's perplexing—who spends time searching for businesses to acquire without any genuine intent to make a purchase?
Additionally, brokers often evaluate a potential buyer's qualifications based on past experience, without understanding that many buyers do not plan to run a business on a day-to-day basis. The intention is usually to retain existing management and staff, not to take on operational responsibilities personally. This is why it's critical to maintain the current team and management, whenever possible.
Lastly, brokers should specialize in specific industries or business types, rather than attempting to value a wide range of companies. If sellers could see how their businesses are being marketed, many brokers would likely face significant consequences for their lack of professionalism and expertise.

We appreciate your candor regarding your experience on our platform. While we sympathize with your experience, each broker is unique and may handle their businesses differently. DealStream is not a broker or involved in the purchase/sale transaction, but we'll certainly do everything we can to continue to connect you with opportunities you are interested in. If you have any specific cases you would like us to review or address we would be happy to do so. Please reach out to us using the web address below or visit the Help link at our website.
