Overview
A clearer way to sell from Bangladesh.
Durqo is built to support founders selling a digital business from Bangladesh and to help them reach potential buyers in Bangladesh and other countries. This guide explains the challenges sellers often face and how Durqo’s marketplace, review process, Transfer Room and local payout options support each stage—from preparation and listing to transfer and payout.
The challenge
Why selling a digital business from Bangladesh can be difficult.
Bangladeshi founders can build valuable websites, e-commerce stores, SaaS products, apps and online brands. The difficult part is often finding the right buyer and completing the transaction through a process both sides can understand and trust.
Reaching international buyers
Challenge
It can be difficult to find serious international buyers on your own, outside a handful of personal contacts or local groups.
Durqo solution
Once reviewed and published, your listing can be viewed by users browsing Durqo from Bangladesh and other countries.
Building buyer confidence
Challenge
Buyers need clear information and some proof of legitimacy before they feel confident purchasing from a seller they have never met.
Durqo solution
A structured listing format and review process before it goes live help buyers evaluate your business on real information.
Receiving payouts in BDT
Challenge
International payments can be complex to receive for sellers based in Bangladesh, without a suitable local method.
Durqo solution
Multiple BDT payout options - Bank Transfer, bKash, Nagad and Rocket - give you a direct way to receive your funds.
Transferring assets safely
Challenge
Sharing logins, code and other assets can be risky without a secure, tracked process - and before the required payment has been received and verified.
Durqo solution
The Transfer Room opens only after the required full payment has been received and verified. A partial or initial payment does not unlock asset transfer. Use it to submit and track the agreed asset transfer through a structured process.
Keeping the deal recorded
Challenge
Important details can get lost or disputed in informal chats spread across email, WhatsApp or Messenger.
Durqo solution
Buyer communication, payment status, the agreed asset list and delivery confirmation stay connected to the same order.
Where to start
Is your online business ready to sell?
A digital business may be sellable when you have the legal right and practical ability to transfer its essential assets to a new owner. The business does not need to be large, but a potential buyer must be able to understand what is being sold, how it operates and what ownership will include.
A stronger sale candidate normally has:
A listing application does not guarantee publication. Durqo may request clarification, supporting information or corrections before approving a listing.
What you can list
Sell different types of digital businesses.
You can list a digital business when you have the legal right and practical ability to transfer the included assets to a buyer. Durqo supports:
A business does not necessarily need to be large, but the seller must accurately explain what is being sold, what is included, and how ownership can be transferred. Not every submitted listing is approved.
Why founders sell
Selling does not mean the business failed.
Founders sell digital businesses for many legitimate reasons. Some want to fund a new project, reduce their workload or realize part of the value they have created. Others may no longer have enough time to operate the business, or believe a new owner can take it to its next stage.
Start or fund another project
Reduce the number of businesses being managed
Step away from daily operations
Free up capital
Change career or business direction
Find an owner with the resources to expand it
Realize value from years of work
Whatever the reason, a clear explanation helps buyers understand the seller’s decision and evaluate the opportunity more confidently.
Buyer's perspective
Understand what buyers will review.
A buyer is not purchasing only a website or account. They are evaluating the income, assets, risks, workload and future potential connected to the complete business.
Revenue
How much revenue does the business generate, and where does it come from?
Profit
What remains after hosting, advertising, contractors, tools, fulfilment and other operating costs?
Revenue consistency
Is revenue stable, growing, declining, recurring or seasonal?
Traffic and audience
Where do visitors, users, subscribers or customers come from?
Business age
How long has the business been operating, and how much history can be reviewed?
Growth history
How have revenue, profit, traffic, users or customers changed over time?
Owner involvement
How many hours does the current owner spend operating the business?
Customer concentration
Does a large percentage of revenue depend on one customer or client?
Platform dependency
Does the business depend heavily on Google, Amazon, Meta, YouTube, Shopify or another platform?
Transferable assets
Which domains, files, accounts, content, code, contracts and operating materials will transfer?
Risk
What could reduce revenue, traffic, access or future performance?
Growth opportunities
What realistic opportunities could a new owner pursue?
Do not present future growth as guaranteed. Clearly separate current performance that can be reasonably supported from opportunities that have not yet been implemented.
Valuation
What could your online business be worth?
There is no single price formula that applies to every digital business. Buyers usually consider profit, revenue quality, growth, risk, transferability and the amount of work required from the owner.
- Historical revenue
- Net profit
- Revenue consistency
- Growth trend
- Business age
- Traffic quality
- Customer retention
- Recurring revenue
- Customer concentration
- Platform dependency
- Owner workload
- Transferability
- Documented processes
- Business risk
- Future opportunity
A credible asking price should be explainable using real business information. The amount a seller hopes to receive is not, by itself, evidence of market value.
Pricing fundamentals
Understanding Seller’s Discretionary Earnings.
Seller’s Discretionary Earnings, commonly called SDE, is often used when evaluating smaller owner-operated businesses. It starts with the business’s net profit and may add back certain owner-specific, personal or one-time expenses that a new owner would not reasonably be expected to continue paying.
SDE is intended to help a buyer understand the approximate financial benefit the business currently provides to one owner-operator.
SDE is not the same as revenue, and an SDE multiple is not a guaranteed valuation. The appropriate approach depends on the business model, financial records, growth, risk and buyer demand.
Learn from others
Common mistakes that can weaken a sale.
These mistakes come up repeatedly across digital-business sales, regardless of the platform used to sell:
Preparing too late
Waiting until the listing is created to organize financial records, analytics and ownership information can delay review and reduce buyer confidence.
Pricing on personal expectations
A price that cannot be supported by profit, growth, assets or comparable performance may discourage serious buyers.
Hiding business risks
A known problem that appears later during buyer review can cause more damage than disclosing it clearly from the beginning.
Unsupported financial claims
Revenue and profit information should be accurate and reasonably supportable if a buyer asks for evidence.
Mixing personal and business assets
Personal email accounts, payment accounts and files can make a business more difficult to transfer cleanly.
Not preparing an asset list
Know exactly which domains, files, accounts, content, intellectual property and operating resources are included.
Sharing credentials too early
Do not hand over passwords or control of the business before the required payment has been received and verified and the Transfer Room opens.
Moving the deal outside Durqo
Important communications and asset-delivery records may be lost when a transaction moves to unrecorded personal channels.
Treating interest as a completed sale
Questions or expressions of interest do not mean a purchase has been completed - follow the order and payment status shown by Durqo.
Failing to plan the handover
Consider how the buyer will receive the domain, hosting, code, analytics and operating knowledge before the purchase occurs.
Before you list
Prepare your business before you list.
A clear and well-supported listing helps buyers understand the opportunity and reduces avoidable questions during the transaction.

Final check

- I have the legal right to sell this business.
- I can clearly explain how it operates and generates revenue.
- My revenue, profit and traffic information is accurate and supportable.

- I have removed personal or confidential information from the public listing.
- I have disclosed significant risks or dependencies rather than hiding them.
- I understand the buyer will inspect everything before approving the transfer.

- I understand KYC is required before my first withdrawal, and my payout account must match my verified name.
Pricing
Set an asking price you can support.
An asking price should reflect the business’s actual performance, assets, transferability and risk. An unrealistically high price may reduce buyer interest, while a price set without reviewing the business’s value may result in the seller accepting less than the business could reasonably justify.
Before setting your asking price, consider:
Durqo’s valuation tool provides an initial estimate, not a guaranteed sale price.
Step by step
How to sell through Durqo from Bangladesh.
Create your seller account
Register with your email address and confirm your account. Creating an account and submitting a listing does not require an upfront fee.
Estimate your business value
Use Durqo's free valuation tool as a starting reference, then choose an asking price you can explain using the business's revenue, profit, traffic and transferable assets.
Get a free valuationBuild your listing
Add the business description, category, financial information, traffic data, operating requirements, asking price and everything included in the sale.
Submit it for review
Durqo reviews the listing for completeness, clarity and compliance with its current listing requirements, and may request corrections before publishing.
How listings are reviewedReach potential buyers
Once approved, the listing becomes visible to buyers in Bangladesh and other countries. Interested buyers can review it and message you before deciding to purchase.
Buyer completes the purchase
The buyer pays the listed price through one of Durqo's supported payment methods. The required payment must be received and verified before the asset-transfer stage begins.
View payment & withdrawal detailsTransfer the agreed assets
The Transfer Room opens only after the required full payment has been received and verified. A partial or initial payment does not unlock asset transfer. Submit each agreed asset separately so the buyer can inspect and confirm what they have received.
How the Transfer Room worksComplete the sale and request payout
After the buyer approves the completed transfer and any required review is finished, eligible earnings become available. Complete identity verification before your first withdrawal, then request payment.
Before you go live
What happens before your listing is published?
After the seller submits a listing, Durqo reviews it according to its current listing requirements. The review may consider whether the information is complete, internally consistent, understandable and suitable for the marketplace.
- Approved for publication
- Returned for corrections
- Additional information requested
- Not approved under current listing requirements
Before the sale completes
Buyer communication and due diligence.
Answer buyer questions clearly
Potential buyers may contact the seller to understand the business before purchasing. Keep answers accurate, professional and consistent with the published listing. Buyers may ask:
- Why are you selling?
- How does the business generate revenue?
- What are the largest expenses?
- How much time does it require?
- What assets are included?
- Where does traffic come from?
- Are any contractors or suppliers required?
- What are the main risks?
- How will the assets be transferred?
- Will transition assistance be provided?
Do not send passwords, identity documents, financial-account credentials or sensitive customer data through ordinary messages.
Be ready for buyer review
Before completing a purchase, a buyer may review relevant financial, traffic, operational, ownership and asset information. Provide only information that is accurate, relevant and lawful to share. Where sensitive records are required:
- Remove unnecessary personal information
- Protect customer privacy
- Use read-only or limited access where possible
- Avoid sharing passwords
- Follow applicable platform rules
- Keep important communication connected to the transaction
Durqo’s listing review is not a guarantee of the business’s future performance and does not replace the buyer’s own evaluation.
A structured transaction
Know the payment status before transferring assets.
Once the required payment has been received and verified, the order’s Transfer Room becomes available. For transactions processed through Stripe or SSLCommerz, the seller’s payout remains unavailable until the buyer approves the completed transfer or any reported issue is resolved. Stripe and SSLCommerz are payment processors, not escrow providers. When Escrow.com is selected and available, Escrow.com holds and releases the funds according to its own transaction terms.
Do not begin the asset handover simply because a buyer says payment has been made - check the payment status on your order’s deal page before sharing any assets.
Payment received and verified
The Transfer Room opens only after the required full payment has been received and verified. A partial or initial payment does not unlock asset transfer.
Transfer Room opens
You can share your assets once the required payment has been received and verified in full.
Seller delivers
Complete the asset transfer through the Transfer Room.
What happens if the buyer reports a problem?
If the buyer reports that an agreed asset is missing, inaccessible or materially different, your payout remains on hold while the available transaction records and evidence are reviewed. You and the buyer may be asked to provide additional information. Not every dispute is decided in the seller’s favor.
Learn about reporting an issueTracked asset handover
Transfer the business through the Transfer Room.
The Transfer Room connects the asset handover to the order. It provides a clear record of what the seller submits, what the buyer receives, and whether the transfer is approved or reported for review.
Seller submits assets
Share each agreed asset - domains, website files, source code, accounts and more - one at a time, inside the order's Transfer Room.
Buyer reviews
The buyer inspects what has been delivered. Once every agreed asset has been marked Received, a 7-day inspection window begins.
Transfer completed
Once satisfied, the buyer approves the transfer. If something is missing or does not match, they can report an issue instead.
- The Transfer Room opens only after the required full payment has been received and verified. A partial or initial payment does not unlock asset transfer.
- The seller sees exactly which assets are included in the transaction.
- The seller submits each agreed asset separately, with enough detail for the buyer to identify and access it.
- The buyer confirms each item as it arrives by marking it Received.
- The buyer gets a 7-day inspection window once every agreed asset has been marked Received.
- The buyer can approve the completed transfer once satisfied.
- The buyer can report an issue instead if something is missing or doesn't match.
- A reported issue keeps the seller's payout on hold while Durqo reviews the evidence.
- Every submission, confirmation and report stays connected to the same order.
Do not transfer the business only through personal email, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger or another unrecorded channel. Keep the agreed asset handover and confirmation connected to the Durqo order.
Transfer Room
Example transfer for illustration - every real order gets its own Transfer Room with live status.

Seller KYC and payout-name verification.
KYC identity verification is required before a seller’s first withdrawal. This helps protect seller earnings, prevent unauthorized payouts, and confirm that funds are sent to the correct recipient. Accepted documents and review requirements can vary by country and verification provider.
- KYC is required before your first withdrawal, not before creating a listing.
- Depending on your country and the verification provider's requirements, you may be able to use a valid Passport, National Identity Card or Driving Licence. A Birth Certificate may be accepted only as a supporting document where permitted.
- Upload clear photos of the document (front and back if applicable) along with your legal name as it appears on the ID.
- Verification requirements and processing times depend on the selected verification method and whether additional review is required. The current status and any required action will appear in the Seller Dashboard.
- The verified legal or business name must match the payout account.
- Sensitive identity documents are never shown publicly on your listing.
