Hi,

I’m based in France and I have a question: can a SaaS be sold before its official launch?

It’s a B2B SaaS that helps professionals better connect with their B2C customers.

Planned business model:
- subscription starting at €10/month
- estimated average revenue around €20/month per customer

With:
- 1,000 people on the waitlist
- 200 testers
- written feedback
- payment intent at launch
- a working product
- but no real revenue yet

Could an operator/acquirer be interested in this kind of asset?

I’m not here to sell it, I just want to understand the market.

In your opinion:
- what would be a realistic valuation?
- how would you sell this kind of project?
- which platforms or types of buyers would make sense?

Thanks for your honest feedback.

Salut

Je ne suis pas là pour vendre, je veux juste comprendre le marché.

Est-ce qu’un SaaS peut se vendre avant son lancement officiel ?

C’est un SaaS B2B qui aide des professionnels à mieux connecter avec leurs clients B2C.

Modèle prévu :
- abonnement à partir de 10 €/mois
- panier moyen estimé autour de 20 €/mois

Avec :
- 1000 personnes inscrites sur la waitlist
- 200 testeurs
- des retours écrits
- des intentions de paiement au lancement
- un produit fonctionnel
- mais pas encore de chiffre d’affaires réel

Est-ce qu’un repreneur/opérateur pourrait être intéressé par ce type d’actif ?

Je ne suis pas là pour vendre, je veux juste comprendre le marché.

Selon vous :
- quelle valorisation serait réaliste ?
- comment vendre ce genre de projet ?
- sur quelles plateformes ou auprès de quel type d’acheteur ?

Merci pour vos avis.

I'm building a B2B SaaS and finally tackling the billing and payment integrations.

I need to set up Stripe for my own subscriptions and Stripe Connect so my users can generate their own payment links.

I also need to use the SumUp Cloud API to remotely trigger physical card readers when users hit "charge" in the app. On top of that, I have to generate Factur-X compliant PDFs, probably using the dedicated open-source Python library.

Have any of you integrated these tools before, and is it a massive pain? I'd love to hear about your experiences or any pitfalls to avoid, especially around Stripe webhooks or finicky XML validation for Factur-X
