Startup Sphere Weekly #31

Amazon discount SaaS

Asking Price: $325,000
TTM Revenue: $332,000
TTM Profit: $282,000

I like this business because it is built in the extremely lucrative online shopping niche. The business for sale is a company that focuses on Amazon discounts and freebies.

The company has multiple assets. Firstly, they have software built that scans and tracks Amazon for product price decreases, pricing errors, discounts, etc. The company also has a community, likely on Discord, where they announce the discounts.

There are also multiple opportunities to monetize. Currently, the business makes money via affiliate sales (Amazon has a large affiliate program). I also think there is an opportunity to introduce a paid community that would offer exclusive deals to paying subscribers.

The business makes $23,000/month, most of which is profit. I think this business is a good buy, especially at only a 1x profit multiple.

WordPress themes and plugins

Asking Price: $445,000
TTM Revenue: $141,000
TTM Profit: $119,000

The business for sale is a company that builds products for WordPress, mainly WordPress themes and plugins.

The company has been around since 2013 and has published over 360 WordPress themes for various industries.

This seems like a great opportunity for someone looking for a well-established, risk-free business. WordPress powers 70% of the website, so the market for this business is large.

There is a good opportunity here to introduce a high-ticket offer, where you design custom WordPress websites for clients. This would be a good way to funnel potential customers from the low-cost option (themes, plugins) to a higher ticket, custom solution.

Competitors include themeforest.net.

CRM for roofing businesses

Asking Price: $1,025,000
TTM Revenue: $202,000
TTM Profit: $187,000

This business is a great example of how to make money by introducing automation to a blue-collar industry.

The business for sale is a CRM designed for roofing businesses.

The company helps roofing businesses streamline processes, improve operations, etc. The software also helps roofing businesses make more money, but capturing more leads and implementing automatic follow-ups.

The above makes the business an easy buy for roofing companies. Owners of these companies are already often very busy, so it is a great pitch when you can save time and make them more money.

This is also a well-established industry that will be around forever, so this business is virtually risk-free.
