Digital Services / Software Development Business

Digital services and software development business generating $900K in revenue with $500K in SDE, including a 179-domain portfolio with one domain independently valued at $100K and five active revenue-generating sites, anchored by over thirty years of brand history.

Business Highlights

  • Digital services and software development business generating $900K in revenue with $500K in SDE and EBITDA (56% margin).
  • Over thirty years of operating history in digital services, with custom software roots going back to the 1980s serving Siemens, Boeing, Xerox, Chrysler, and General Dynamics.
  • 179-domain portfolio included in the sale, with one domain independently valued at $100K.
  • Five active revenue-generating sites included, anchored by the broader brand history.
  • Service lines span web development, mobile apps, custom software, digital security, and e-commerce.
  • 80% of revenue from one-time, project-based services with 20% recurring revenue from ongoing digital property management and maintenance contracts.
  • Lean operation suitable for an acquirer with existing digital services or web development capabilities to absorb.
  • Owner is open to assisting during a transition period.

Considerations / Questions to Ask

  • What is the independent valuation methodology for the $100K-valued domain, and is the full 179-domain portfolio appraised or only that one?
  • What are the five active revenue-generating sites, what do they earn, and how is traffic and revenue currently produced?
  • What share of the $900K revenue comes from project work vs. the 20% recurring maintenance contracts, and how concentrated is the recurring base?
  • How dependent is the client base on the owner's direct involvement vs. transferable team or contractor resources?
  • What client contracts exist for the recurring 20%, and what are renewal and termination terms?
  • What does the staffing and contractor structure look like behind the work?
  • What is the broader client base referenced in the buyer-fit notes (the part the buyer would need to independently rebuild)?
  • What intellectual property is owned (custom software, frameworks, internal tools) and what transfers in the sale?

Opportunities

  • A new owner with existing digital services or web development capabilities is the ideal fit and can plug the five active sites and 179-domain portfolio into an existing operation immediately.
  • Convert more project-based revenue into recurring retainer or managed-service contracts, lifting recurring share above the current 20%.
  • Monetize the 179-domain portfolio more aggressively through development, redirects, lead generation, or selective sale of high-value names.
  • Build out the five active revenue-generating sites with more content and SEO investment to grow site-level recurring revenue.
  • Expand digital security services as a higher-margin standalone offering given the existing capability set.
  • Mobile app development is listed as a service line but appears underweighted in current revenue mix, opening room to grow.
  • Reactivate the original enterprise client base (or industries like the ones served in the 1980s) for higher-ticket custom software work.
