LotLoop is a UK B2B marketplace for used commercial equipment and surplus business assets. Sellers submit equipment privately; LotLoop reviews every listing before publication and checks each business against its Companies House record. Buyers purchase at a fixed price, make an offer, request an inspection, or post what they need when it is not yet listed. Payment runs through Stripe, and the seller's transfer is held until collection or delivery is verified. Sellers pay 0%, permanently.

Could you build this?

Partial The listing, buyer and seller flows, and fixed-price ordering are CRUD-style and vibe-codeable. Trust operations (vetting sellers against Companies House, inspections, escrow, and UK payments/compliance) need real operational and regulatory work.

What it would actually take: The marketplace front end is standard, and Companies House has a public API. The hard parts are the managed operations (manual listing review, inspection logistics, payment and escrow handling under UK regulation) and building trust with a buyer and seller base. These need a business-operations team and legal and financial compliance expertise.
