Project Overview
Grablity is a U.S.-based startup aiming to simplify the way entrepreneurs discover and manage businesses for sale. They envisioned a unified platform where users could browse acquisition-ready businesses, manage deal workflows, upload documentation, and track progress—all from a single interface.
They approached Resolute Solutions to bring this idea to life, starting with MVP development of a robust, full-stack web application built for scalability, usability, and automation.
