SMERGERS review: adult deals, plans and the 1% fee

smergers.com

SMERGERS is a Bangalore-based business marketplace with an adult entertainment category, which held 9 listings, almost all pre-revenue. Sellers can list for free or pay for a plan, then owe SMERGERS 1% of the deal, at least $400, when they close.

Our verdict on SMERGERS

SMERGERS can work for an adult founder raising money or selling a stake, since it lists equity deals and loans alongside outright sales.

It is a poor hunting ground for buyers of profitable adult sites: the category is thin and mostly pre-revenue, listings are not verified, and there is no escrow or negotiation support.

How the SMERGERS 1% finder's fee works

A seller who closes with a buyer or investor introduced by SMERGERS owes 1% of the deal amount or $400, whichever is higher, plus taxes. It is due as soon as the first payment arrives or definitive agreements are signed, applies even if the profile is closed, and uses the first year's rent for rental deals. Buyers and investors pay no fee.

What is in the SMERGERS adult category

The Adult Entertainment category showed 9 listings, most with no revenue: stakes in pre-launch platforms in Atlanta and Boston, a Las Vegas adult film brand with AVN nominations offered for about €445,000, an Austin production company seeking a €67,000 loan, and a licensed relaxation hotel in Barcelona, which reports about €1 million in revenue and asks €12.5 million. Asking prices for pre-revenue projects reach €35.6 million for a 20% stake.

Is SMERGERS legit?

SMERGERS is a registered Indian company, but it vouches for no listing: it is not a broker or agent, takes no part in negotiations and makes no warranty about listing accuracy, so due diligence is yours. There is no escrow or transfer help. Refunds only apply if a profile is not activated within two business days, never for a lack of introductions or deals.
