I have built this company from the ground-up and simply don't have time for it any more. The company was started in early 2001 and has built trust relationships with high-end vendors as well as our customers. It has a great domain name/brand (email for details).

Currently, there are 54 active clients and an estimated annual income of about $6000. Our customers are saavy web hosters - no newbies, so technical support is very minimal. Serious tech support is handled by our top-notch data center people (i.e. the vendors).

This sale includes a transfer of domains, hosting server, WHMCS Admin/Billing software, web site, some basic training and documentation, eNom account, and NameCheap account. You will need to setup a 2Checkout account and a Paypal account if you don't already have them. It also includes all rights to the name/brand.

I will personally handle the transfer of services with the goal of no downtime to the customers. So why am I selling? Life is just too busy and I can't spend the time required to grow the business. If you know some Internet marketing, this company has the potential to explode.

I'm asking $30,000 for this opportunity - a skilled marketer with little effort could recoup this in less than a year if motivated and much less than 5 years for certain. PM me if you have any questions. I can only accept certified bank drafts from major banks as payment. You must live in the U.S., U.K., or Canada. Disclosure of confidential financial information will only be afforded to serious enquiries. This offer will be made at serveral locations on the Internet, so act quickly or this high-quality, established hosting company will be gone quickly.
 


"annual income of about $6000" is the net income after taking into account the cost of labor (including your own) ? Or is it the revenue?


BTW, bubbles is right about valuations of web hosting companies. Look around on WHT, as he recommended.
 
That is the truth of economics in any kind of market place. True value is driven by supply and demand equations based on a multitude of Utility functions and tangency formulas which works out to a vast number of individual price points based on TVM time value of money and OCR, Opportunity Cost Rate or forgone investments from taking this one. Thus there must be some sort of standard methodology in evaluating a company's current NPV or Net Present Value which is a complex equation that deals with Future predicted cash flows discounted back to a present monetary amount. Based on many peoples value of both time and money now versus far off years in the future this can roughly work out to around 12 months of TR or Total Revenue. Based on brick and mortar more tangeable businesses such as manufacturing companies which possess large quantities of assets that are depreciated such as trucks, equipment, and then appreciating ones like land (inelastic and fixed) and a building are valued more like you are trying to do it BNW. Notice it is TR and and TR-TC which would just be Net Income or profits. Hopefully you can re think carefully this sale and come to a more reasonable price point.

By the way if you ask what I do I am a day trader and Bulk Mailer/Data Broker and have a Grad Degree in Econ and Undergrad in Business Econometrics and Spanish.
 
I'd be interested to know where that standard was established since this is not the standard business valuation model.
Online businesses tend to not be valued the same way as a "bricks & mortar" business. 10x monthly profit is seems to be the standard selling price for everything from MFA sites, to e-commerce sites selling non-tangible products. Not saying you can't get more than that, or it's not "worth" more than that... but it is the "standard".
 
One of the points I did make up top indeed. I'll build a site up seo it a bit, monetize it and then sell it for 12 months revenue or so and be done with here and cash in the bank. If it's something long term though and I want residual then I keep it an build it for great passive income. Good luck with the sale man.

All I was saying was that if you go to that link I gave you all the web hosting companies there are selling for 8x-10x annual revenue. Meaning your hosting company is worth about $6000.
