Transferable business assets with documented foundations and a structured technical handover.
Buying source code can speed up a digital project when the technical base, rights and documentation are understandable. This page helps buyers compare repository, languages, architecture, dependencies, tests, licences, security, deployment and handover.
Code should be assessed by real use, structure, languages, frameworks, modules and known limits. Buyers should understand whether it is a prototype, production base, part of software or a project that still needs substantial development.
Ownership, copyright, open-source licences, third-party libraries, API keys, accounts, developer contracts and external components affect whether the code can be used. A strong technical base can be risky if rights are unclear.
README, build instructions, environment setup, automated tests, version history, open issues, security, technical debt and deployment guide show whether a new team can take over without depending only on the seller.
If the offer includes a usable product with customers, accounts or processes, Buy software may be more precise. If the value mainly concerns a ready mobile or web application, Buy app may also be relevant.
It means taking over an existing codebase, often with repository, files, documentation, usage rights, history and required access.
Languages, frameworks, architecture, rights, licences, dependencies, tests, documentation, security, deployment, access and open issues are important.
They determine how the code and used libraries may be modified, distributed or commercially exploited.
Complete code, useful history, configuration, scripts, documentation, tests, examples, installation details and dependency list should be present.
They are not always present, but they help understand stability, quality and risk when the code is changed after takeover.
Ideally yes. If not, buyers need to know exactly which access, services, data or fixes are missing.
Source code is the technical base. Software often also includes product, users, brand, contracts, support, revenue or active operations.
No. businessmatch.ch helps buyers search and make contact, but it does not replace technical, legal or financial audits.
