Because I’ve owned online businesses for the better half of a decade, I am frequently asked where investors can buy a profitable existing online business. With the rise of the internet, most people are aware that online businesses can be very successful, but they don’t have the time or skill to build the business from scratch. There are substantial advantages associated with buying a profitable existing online business.
To begin, you don’t have to spend the time, typically years, building the business from scratch. Second, you don’t have to learn all the nuances of creating a successful online business. Third, the business will be generating predictable profits from day one. Investing in an existing online business is not something you want to do without due diligence however.
The best place to buy an online business is , which is a marketplace to buy and sell online businesses. What I like about them is that every business is individually vetted, with thorough due diligence, before being listed on the marketplace for sale. I’ve dealt with Empire Flippers before, and they are the real deal, so I can definitely recommend them. They are the mediator that communicates with both sides, nurtures the deal, handles the transfer of funds, and even the migration.
The beauty of online businesses is that they can scale far more than in-person businesses. With an online business, you are not limited by employees, locations, hours, or weekends. In fact, you can reach buyers around the world, in different timezones, and generate income 24/7.
Online businesses typically sell for 30-60x monthly net profit, depending on how accomplished the business is and how revenue is trending.
If you are in a situation where you can afford the upfront cost, acquiring a profitable online business may be more effective than starting one from scratch.
The sales advisors at Empire Flippers have decades of experience representing online business buyers and sellers, so you will be in good hands. I recommend visiting the Empire Flippers marketplace if you are a buyer or their business valuation tool if you are a seller. You can always call them to discuss how they can help with your investment or sale.
