Hot Listing
Monthly Recurring AI Powered Agency | Owner Removed From Ops | 18 yrs
Business Description
The fair-market valuation on this business is $1,030,000 — a 3.0x SDE multiple consistent with sub-$1M digital agencies of this profile. The seller has another acquisition in motion and needs to recycle capital fast — which is why a $280,000 cash discount is on the table. Verified cash buyers close at $750,000, or 2.18x LTM SDE. The discount is about timing and capital deployment on the seller's side, not anything about the business itself, and it is only available to buyers who can move quickly with proof of funds.
An 18-year-old, full-service digital marketing and creative agency producing $343,391 in SDE on $587,571 of LTM revenue — 58% SDE margin, 78% gross margin, with $500,000 in signed contracts already locked for 2026.
Forward visibility for 2026 is exceptional. $500,000 of revenue is already signed under client contracts before the buyer's first sales call — roughly 85% of LTM revenue committed contractually on day one. Of that figure, $310,000 represents contracted recurring retainers, providing a predictable monthly revenue base. An additional $125,000–$150,000 sits in active Q2 pipeline with documented intent to close.
Three differentiators separate this business from the typical sub-$1M digital agency. First: a proprietary, AI-powered lead generation tool built in-house and refined over multiple years. The tool drives the new business pipeline and transfers with the sale. Most agencies at this scale rely on the operator's personal network — this one does not. Second: HubSpot Gold Partner status held for nearly a decade. The credential transfers under the existing partner relationship and is an instant qualifier in any marketing-services pitch. Third: an established US/offshore delivery split that produces premium output at unit economics most agencies cannot match.
Service offering covers creative, web design and development, hosting, web care, digital marketing, and SEO. Most clients buy multiple services — which is why recurring revenue is so durable and retention runs in years rather than quarters.
Day-to-day client delivery operates independently of the owner. The senior US-based account team — a Senior Digital Marketing Manager, Project Manager, Marketing Specialist, and Creative Director — handles client work alongside four offshore team leads and supporting developers. The owner's involvement is concentrated in two functions: new business development and top-account relationships. Both transfer through the structured 90-day transition, and the AI lead-gen tool means the buyer inherits a working pipeline rather than starting from zero.
Top client concentration is approximately 26% — a long-tenured, multi-year, multi-service anchor. The next four clients are each under 10%, with a long tail of smaller engagements rounding out diversification.
Six growth levers are documented in the data room with quantified impact ranges. The most capital-efficient: scale the AI tool with a dedicated closer for 25–40% revenue growth within 12–18 months.
Beyond that — productize hosting and care into tiered recurring plans for new ARR, cross-sell underutilized services across the existing base for a 10–20% lift, optimize pricing on long-tenured recurring contracts for margin expansion, and develop vertical specialization in housing or financial services.
Fully remote and relocatable. Asset transfer includes the AI tool, the HubSpot partner relationship, all signed 2026 contracts, brand and IP, websites, vendor relationships, documented SOPs, and the full operating tech stack.
Asking $750,000 cash — a $280,000 discount off the $1,030,000 fair-market valuation. The seller is recycling capital into another acquisition and is prioritizing speed and certainty of close. Qualified cash buyers move first. CIM and data room available to verified buyers under NDA.

- Facilities & Assets
- The business is fully remote and operates entirely on a digital infrastructure built and refined over 18 years. The transferable asset base includes a proprietary AI-powered lead generation system developed in-house — a custom tool that has driven the new business pipeline and transfers with the sale on day one. The buyer also acquires the full active client roster, all signed 2026 contracts and recurring service agreements, the brand and IP, all websites and digital properties, vendor relationships, documented service delivery SOPs, and the operating tech stack including QuickBooks Online, Paylocity, project management systems, and the design/development toolchain. HubSpot Gold Partner status — held for nearly a decade — also transfers under the existing partner relationship. Everything required to run the business from day one is in place, documented, and operational.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- Eighteen years of continuous operation through multiple economic cycles, agency-industry consolidation, and the rise of in-housing — a track record that almost no sub-$1M digital agency can match. The competitive moat sits in three places: (1) the proprietary AI-powered lead generation tool, which most agencies at this scale do not have and cannot easily replicate; (2) the HubSpot Gold Partner credential held for nearly a decade, which qualifies the business for partner-led referral flow and premium positioning; (3) the integrated service mix — creative, web design, web development, hosting, web care, digital marketing, and SEO — which captures multiple revenue streams from each client and drives long retention. Competition in digital services is broad, but the combination of credentials, AI infrastructure, and 18-year client tenure positions this business well above the typical sub-$1M agency.
- Opportunities for Growth
- The proprietary AI lead generation tool currently runs at the throughput the seller can personally close — meaning the most obvious growth lever is also the most capital-efficient: hire a closer or sales lead, point them at existing pipeline, and convert volume the tool already produces. This single move alone is positioned for 25–40% revenue growth within 12–18 months without any new lead-gen investment. Beyond that: productize hosting and web care into tiered monthly subscription plans (Bronze/Silver/Gold) for $50K–$150K in new annual recurring revenue; cross-sell unused service lines into the existing client base for a 10–20% top-line lift; review pricing on long-tenured recurring accounts for 3–7% margin expansion; build a vertical practice in housing, financial services, or animal care where the business already has wins; and formalize referral partnerships with complementary providers. Current ownership optimized for margin — the buyer takes over the growth side.
About the Sale
- Seller Motivation
- The owner is moving on to other ventures and is willing to leave $280,000 on the
- Transition Support
- A structured 90-day transition is included. Days 1–30: the current owner runs operations while the buyer shadows client meetings, account workflows, and the lead-generation system. Days 31–60: joint operation, with the buyer assuming increasing responsibility while the owner remains active on new business development and top accounts. Days 61–90: the buyer operates independently with the owner available in an advisory role, completing knowledge transfer on remaining systems and relationships. The senior account team, creative director, project manager, and offshore delivery leads all remain post-close, providing day-one continuity on client delivery. An extended advisory arrangement beyond 90 days is negotiable. The buyer takes over an operating business — not a project to rebuild.
