  • $293 in revenue last month

🚩 Cons

  • Low Revenue: The startup's revenue has been relatively low, with only $19,000 in TTM revenue and $293 in revenue last month. It may be difficult to sustain the business and scale up with such low revenue.

πŸš€ Growth Opportunities

  • Expand product line: The company currently offers four staple flavors, with specialty flavors also available for production. To increase revenue, the company could consider adding more unique flavors, creating limited edition seasonal offerings, or even branching out into related products like BBQ sauces, marinades, or spices.

  • Partner with food trucks: Partner with local restaurants or food trucks to offer custom hot sauce blends. Work with a handful of select partners to create unique hot sauce blends that are only available through those restaurants or food trucks. By partnering with local businesses, the company could tap into new markets and reach customers who may not have otherwise been exposed to the brand.

πŸ’° Asking Price: $300,000

Profitable Agency with $104,000 in TTM revenue and $51,000 in TTM profit that helps customers around the world save time and money by working with automation and integrating AI into their business operations.

Type: SaaS

βœ… Key Highlights

  • $104,000 in TTM revenue

  • $51,000 in TTM profit

  • $19,000 in revenue last month

  • $18,000 in profit last month

🚩 Cons

  • Lead Gen: The business primarily relies on leads generated from the Zapier Expert and Airtable Consultants pages. While this has been successful so far, it leaves the business vulnerable to any changes in those platforms that could negatively impact lead flow. Diversifying lead generation strategies would reduce this risk.

πŸš€ Growth Opportunities

  • White label solution: While the agency offers consultation services, there may be potential clients who prefer to handle the automation process themselves. By creating a white-label automation solution, the agency can license its software to clients who can then use it for their own business processes.
