How CoastMatch Works

Turn Every Opportunity Into a New Possibility

Have a customer opportunity you cannot serve? Don't let it go to waste. CoastMatch helps verified businesses exchange it for an opportunity they want, offer it for sale, or make it available to another qualified business.

You can also browse and purchase opportunities posted by other businesses nationwide.

Give Business. Get Business.

Exchange. Sell. Buy. Opportunity Access.

Posting an opportunity is free. You decide how you want to use it, and CoastMatch helps connect you with qualified businesses that may be a good fit.

Exchange an Opportunity

Trade What You Have for What You Want

Post an opportunity you cannot use and tell CoastMatch what type of opportunity you want in return. Match searches across industries to identify businesses whose needs and opportunities may complement yours.

How it works

  1. Post the opportunity you have.
  2. Tell Match what you want in return.
  3. Review compatible exchange opportunities.
  4. Both businesses approve the proposed exchange.
  5. Each business pays its own applicable exchange fee.
  6. Opportunity information is released according to CoastMatch's consent and verification process.

Exchange fees are based on the Match Value of the opportunity each business receives. Free members pay the standard fee, Business Pro members save 20%, and Enterprise members save 25%.

Turn an Opportunity You Cannot Use Into Revenue

Have a legitimate customer opportunity that another business may want? Post it for sale at no upfront cost. Set your asking price, review interested buyers, and approve the transaction through CoastMatch.

How it works

  1. Post the opportunity for free.
  2. CoastMatch assigns a Match Value.
  3. Set your asking price.
  4. Qualified businesses can review the opportunity without seeing protected customer information.
  5. Select or approve a buyer.
  6. The buyer confirms the agreed sale price. Secure payment completion will be enabled after CoastMatch completes payment-provider configuration and testing.
  7. After the transaction requirements are satisfied, CoastMatch retains 20% and the seller receives 80%.

There is no subscription or listing charge required to post an opportunity for sale. CoastMatch earns its commission only when an eligible sale is successfully completed.

Find Opportunities Your Business Wants

Browse opportunities from businesses across different industries and markets. Use Match Value, opportunity details, location, category, timing, and other available information to decide whether an opportunity fits your business.

How it works

  1. Browse available opportunities.
  2. Filter by category, location, Match Value, and other relevant criteria.
  3. Review the opportunity description and available verification information.
  4. Express purchase interest or agree to the asking price.
  5. Review the transaction requirements. Secure payment completion will be enabled after CoastMatch completes payment-provider configuration and testing.
  6. Receive the authorized opportunity information under CoastMatch's consent and transaction rules.
  7. Update the outcome so CoastMatch can improve future matching and marketplace insights.

The buyer pays the agreed purchase price. CoastMatch deducts its 20% commission from the seller's proceeds. The seller receives the remaining 80%, subject to applicable transaction, refund, dispute, tax, and payment-processing requirements.

BROWSE OPPORTUNITIES
Opportunity Access

Want to Give an Opportunity Without Selling or Exchanging It?

A business can also make an opportunity available without requesting money or another opportunity in return. The contributing business pays nothing. The receiving business pays the applicable Opportunity Access Fee based on the opportunity's Match Value and its active membership plan.

GIVE AN OPPORTUNITY

Every Opportunity Comes With a Match Value

A business may tell us what it believes an opportunity is worth, but CoastMatch evaluates the available information and assigns an independent Match Value.

Match Value helps members compare opportunities, understand their potential commercial value, and determine the appropriate exchange or Opportunity Access Fee tier.

Submitted Value

The value entered by the business posting the opportunity.

Match Value

CoastMatch's independent estimate of the opportunity's commercial marketplace value based on the information available.

Asking Price

The amount a seller requests when offering an opportunity for sale.

Example

Submitted Value
$3,000
Match Value
$2,500
Estimated Match Value Range
$2,000 – $3,000
Confidence
Medium
Asking Price
$2,200

“Match Value is an estimate—not a guaranteed sale price, contract value, closing probability, revenue amount, or business result.”

  5. 5

    Match Finds the Right Businesses

    Match compares what businesses do, what they have, and what they want. Matching is cross-industry and is not limited to a business's primary industry.

  6. 6

    Review and Approve

    Members review the available opportunity information, Match Value, fees, price, consent requirements, and transaction terms before accepting. Protected customer information remains hidden until the approved release stage.

  7. 7

    Complete the Transaction

    CoastMatch processes the applicable exchange fee, Opportunity Access Fee, or opportunity-sale payment.

  8. 8

    Track the Outcome

    Members update the transaction outcome. CoastMatch follows up and records whether the opportunity was contacted, accepted, converted, disputed, refunded, or completed.

Smarter Matching Across Industries

CoastMatch does not limit businesses to opportunities from their own industry. Match looks at three essential pieces of information:

What I Do

The products or services your business provides.

What I Have

The customer opportunities you currently have available.

What I Want

The types of customers and opportunities you want to receive.

Example: A web-development company may have a customer who needs credit-card processing. A merchant-services company may have a customer who needs a new website. If both businesses agree and the opportunities meet CoastMatch requirements, Match can help them exchange.

Posting Is Free. CoastMatch Earns When Transactions Happen.

Exchange

Each participating business pays its own exchange fee based on the Match Value of the opportunity it receives.

  • Free: Standard exchange fee
  • Business Pro: 20% discount
  • Enterprise: 25% discount

Sell

Posting for sale is free.

When an opportunity sells:

  • CoastMatch retains 20%
  • Seller receives 80%

Buy

The buyer pays the agreed purchase price. No exchange fee or Opportunity Access Fee is added to the same purchase transaction.
