About

​Ownify is a fractional homeownership program designed to make homeownership achievable for first-time buyers. By partnering with investors, Ownify enables buyers to purchase a home with as little as a 2% down payment, granting them a 2% equity stake upon closing. This approach transforms buyers into cash purchasers, covering additional upfront costs like due diligence fees and earnest money, thereby strengthening their position in competitive markets. Participants, referred to as "Ownis," make fixed monthly payments that are divided into two components: one portion acquires additional equity in the home, while the other covers occupancy costs, including maintenance, repairs, insurance, and taxes. This structure allows Ownis to incrementally increase their ownership over time. After five years, Ownis typically own approximately 10% of their home's equity and have the option to purchase the remaining equity at fair market value or cash out and walk away.

About

At SMERGERS, we define business valuation as a technique used to capture the true value of the business. Common approaches to business valuation include Discounted Cash Flow (DCF), trading comparables, and transaction comparables method. A company is held by two categories of owners, shareholders and debt holders. The value of a pure business that accrues to both categories of owners is called the enterprise value, whereas the value which accrues just to shareholders is the equity value (also called market cap for listed companies). Companies are compared using the enterprise value instead of equity value as debt and cash levels may vary significantly even between companies in the same industry. During an acquisition, depending on whether it is an asset purchase or a stock purchase, the valuation of appropriate elements of the business needs to be carried out. Investment bankers widely use this method to value a company during an acquisition.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • We use SMERGERS to explore acquisition and investment opportunities that fit our corporate growth strategy. The platform is particularly useful when we want to search beyond our existing geographic and professional network. The ability to filter businesses by industry, location, and other investment parameters makes the initial search more manageable. The profiles also provide enough information to decide whether an opportunity warrants further investigation. I also appreciate that SMERGERS is not limited to individual buyers. The platform includes corporate acquirers, private equity firms, VC firms, family offices, and banks, which makes the network relevant to different types of transactions.
  • We were looking for potential franchise partners outside our existing network and used SMERGERS as an additional source of interested investors and entrepreneurs. The platform is useful because franchise businesses can create dedicated profiles and connect with people specifically looking for franchise or business opportunities. SMERGERS also positions its franchise service around reaching qualified investors and entrepreneurs rather than simply placing a listing on a general classifieds site. The global reach is another advantage when a brand is open to expansion into multiple markets.
  • We initially looked at SMERGERS because we wanted to understand the potential market for our business before approaching buyers directly. The platform gave us a way to present the business confidentially and explore interest from potential buyers and investors. The valuation and benchmarking information is also useful as an initial reference point. It helped us think more objectively about the business and the information a potential buyer would want to see. Another advantage is the range of buyer and investor profiles available. Rather than limiting the search to our immediate professional network, we could consider potential counterparties in different markets.
  • We were looking beyond our existing network for potential expansion and franchise opportunities. SMERGERS gave us a structured place to present the business and identify people interested in investing, operating, or expanding within particular sectors and locations. The ability to include business requirements and investment parameters makes the initial matching process more relevant. It is also useful to have different types of members, such as investors, buyers, advisors, and business owners, within the same ecosystem.
  • As an advisor working with business owners, finding suitable counterparties can take a significant amount of time. SMERGERS gives us another channel for identifying investors, buyers, and businesses based on specific requirements. The structured profiles are useful during the early stages because we can get a reasonable understanding of the opportunity before making an introduction. The platform's focus on screened profiles is also helpful when dealing with sensitive business transactions.

Cons

  • The platform is primarily useful for finding and evaluating opportunities initially. Once an acquisition moves into detailed diligence and negotiations, we still rely on our internal systems and external professional advisers.
  • Not every person who expresses interest will necessarily fit the brand's operational or financial requirements, so additional qualification is still necessary.
  • A platform can help with discovery and introductions, but it does not remove the need for proper valuation, legal advice, financial due diligence, and negotiation once a serious buyer emerges.
  • As with any marketplace, not every enquiry will be an immediate fit. We still need to qualify prospects carefully before moving into serious discussions.
  • It is primarily an introduction and sourcing platform rather than a complete transaction management system. More advanced deal execution still requires separate tools for documentation, due diligence, and transaction management.
