Sell source code: make rights, quality and handover clear
Selling source code takes more than listing functions. Buyers want to understand language, architecture, rights, repository, documentation, dependencies, tests, security and handover. A clear listing shows whether the code is usable, maintainable and genuinely transferable.
Present codebase, function and use
The listing should explain which application, library, API, platform, app or internal solution is built on the source code. Languages, frameworks, modules, database, interfaces, functions, users, development status and current use help buyers understand technical substance.
Clarify rights, licences and dependencies
It should state who owns the code, whether third parties contributed, which open source licences, libraries, assets, API services or contracts exist and whether rights can be transferred fully. Open ownership or licence questions should remain visible.
Show quality, documentation and operation
Tests, code quality, security status, known bugs, technical debt, deployment, hosting, CI/CD, documentation, access and maintenance effort strongly affect value. Sellers should explain what already runs in production and what still needs development.
Separate source code, software and app
If the offer includes a complete product with operation, customers or a business model, Sell software may be more precise. If the code mainly belongs to a mobile or web app, Sell app often describes the offer better.
Frequently asked questions about selling source code
What does selling source code mean?
It means offering a codebase with rights, repository, documentation, dependencies, access and defined handover terms.
Which technical and ownership details should I include?
Languages, frameworks, functions, architecture, repository, rights, licences, dependencies, tests, documentation, deployment and handover are important.
Do rights to the code need clarification?
Yes. Buyers need to know who owns the code, which rights are transferable and which licences or third-party contributions exist.
Are open source licences important?
Yes. They can affect use, distribution, code publication and obligations after handover.
Which technical evidence helps?
Documentation, Git history, tests, architecture, deployment instructions, screenshots, demo access and dependency lists are useful.
Can code be sold without an active product?
Yes, but the listing should explain the real development status, what works and what effort is still required.
When is software more suitable?
Software is more suitable when the offer includes a usable product, users, revenue, support or processes beyond the code itself.
Does company.ch verify source code?
No. company.ch helps sellers publish the listing and receive enquiries, but it does not replace technical, legal or commercial review.
