I'm looking to buy a small SaaS business

[ebellity]

Does anyone have side projects or products they're not working on anymore that they'd be interested in selling ?

I'm looking for products, preferably SaaS, making $300 to $4000 in MRR

[ezekg]

Do you have an overall budget for this? And on this topic -- does anyone know of a place where profitable businesses can be sold? I know of places like https://1kprojects.com/ and similar sites but the listings are not exactly "businesses."

[ebellity]

Yes - about $70k

I know of 1kprojects, Transferslot, flippa, empire flippers and FE international but it's a bit hard to sort through everything to find quality products

[codegeek]

The problem is that if it is a really good quality product that ALSO makes some revenue, I doubt people are looking to sell on those sites. You have to go hunt yourself. Once in a while, you may be able to find a Gem on those sites but yea, most are not worth the time/money unfortunately if you are looking for something more than a simple side project.

FWIW I have multiple revenue generating businesses that I'd be open to selling for the right price, but IMO there's nowhere to list them that warrants my attention. I don't want to list my business alongside bunch of $0/MRR side projects asking $10k.

[ebellity]

Can you share which ones ?

[ezekg]

Feel free to email me

[ebellity]

They don't have many other options though. But it's very time consuming to go through all listings.

It might be worth reaching out to the site owners and cold emailing products you find interesting, but are not currently maintained well.

[ebellity]

I'll definitely do that, but this is a first more lazy attempt :)

I call BS on most of these. $900/MRR and the buy price is $600? Come on...

I thought this had been discussed before and was able to find a thread about it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9588901

[ebellity]

Thanks. I kinda remember it. But wanted fresh comments/suggestions as it's been a few years :)

[ezekg]

Good thread. Wonder if it'd be worth a similar thread for 2019?

[aliswe]

Please do!

Have you considered funding a team to build one of your own ideas or perhaps finding a team that has ideas of their own but need funding to pursue them? If you'd like to discuss in more detail, you can find my email in my profile.

[pknerd]

Why would he do that? He is paying for the time spend to market and building a product.

[jessehorne]

I was just throwing it out there, just in case he doesn't find some more developed that he'd like to purchase.

[ebellity]

Thanks but I also have my own side projects / products, the goal with this would be to invest in something to get a decent return without all of the risk associated with creating something new!

[jessehorne]

Absolutely!
