I’m an entrepreneur with a company that was on Shark Tank.
I helped my gf (now fiance) start a business two years ago and it has grown a lot.
Current stats Nov 2022 - Oct 2022…
- $132k rev the last 12 months
- $75k in profit in the last 12 months
- $7k in revenue last month (no advertising)
- $4k in profit last month (no advertising)
It’s a party card game with a strong trademarked brand, great social following, auto-fulfillment via Amazon, ample growth opportunities, and I only spend about 2 hours a week on it.
The problem is that she’s not passionate about this idea and we have since moved on to another idea. Now, I have not been able to run my main Shark Tank company and focus on growing this at the same time. But I hate to see a business with so much potential go to waste.
I don’t know what to do! I never sold a business before.
Any advice?
Consider selling 75% of it and doing an earn out with upside. This way if it becomes significant you’re still in for a bit. And you get to pull cash out now.
I know some people who would look at this thing.
Call Empire Flippers. They should be able to sell this easily for maybe up to $300k less commission.
You can pay someone to run it for you remotely at an affordable rate because the performance is actually encouraging
A lot of people are saying that. I’m considering it. Just need to set time aside to find the right person maybe.
How much do you want for it?
The highest offer I have right now from a motivated buyer is $230k, but I’m willing to go lower than that. Maybe $180,000 + you can keep the remaining inventory.
