Estimated Reading Time = 5 minutes
🚀 Startup Spotlight
Discover profitable online and traditional businesses.
💰 Asking Price: $284,329
Shopify App with over 2,300 users and growing month over month. The app holds a strong position in the competitive landscape, targeting premium users who appreciate value and brand owners aiming to scale their business without facing issues with PayPal.
Type: SaaS
✅ Key Highlights
$8k in Monthly Revenue
$6k in Monthly Profit
75% Profit Margin
Growing steadily month over month
🚀 Growth Opportunities
Upgrade Features: Improving customer notifications is an opportunity the founders have listed as a growth opportunity. Adding this feature could help with any churn the business might face.
Expanding platforms: The easiest growth opportunity for shopify app growth is expanding to other platforms. When we owned shopify apps that was one of our main growth levers. Re-write some code to make it not platform dependent and then start pushing to other platforms immediately.
🚩 Cons
Tech Founders: Both founders are tech founders and whoever has to acquire this app will need a strong knowledge in both the code base and how the app works.
💰 Asking Price: $3,000,000
They help 1st time entrepreneurs plan, design and build a Shopify storefront from scratch, and then their operations team manages the whole process for them, including product research, media ads, listings, and order fulfillment.
Type: Service
✅ Key Highlights
$1,274,909 in Cash Flow
$2,162,820 in Gross Income
5 Employees
Founders will stay on board to ensure correct handover
3000 leads a month to work with agency
🚀 Growth Opportunities
Existing business: While the business has steady growth month over month they should focus on growing internal businesses rather than getting more clients on. Having a bigger chunk of the pie seems like the bigger win here instead of horizontal growth.
If you’re in the ecom space this business would be the perfect fit for you to step in and scale the current systems.
💰 Asking Price: $2,700,000
Successful, Fast Growing HVAC Company for sale $2,700,000. Currently grossing $1,600,000 and Nets $600k+ per year as an owner of the business.
Includes 5 employees & 6 sub-contractors in place willing to transfer with the business. This business operates in Orange County, Florida and currently has 5 employees and qualified sub-contractors.
The Seller is a master of making small advertising investments go a very long way. He will teach you how to do this! The seller is a hands on owner who is willing to stay for a 30-45 day transition period, subject to negotiation.
Type: Traditional Business
✅ Key Highlights
$1,600,000 in Gross Revenue
$600,000 in Cash Flow
$600,000 in Ebitda
$20,000 in inventory
$65,000 in FF&E
5 employees and qualified sub-contractors
🚀 Growth Opportunities
Google Advertising: With a business like this a new owner can easily step in and activate google ads using current profits to help scale top line revenue. Based on the current sellers reputation you’d expect to see higher returns due to current awareness in market.
Owner Advice : Current owner is willing to stay on for 30-40 days. I’d get all advice around what he would do to grow the business in the next 12 months as he seems to have made a lot of advertising investments in the last 6 months.
🚩 Cons
Location: If you’re not in the state you’d probably have to relocate yourself and family to be close by. The alternative is hiring a manager to step in and run the business on your behalf while you claim remainder of profits and make occasional visits to see the team.
