Owner Removed Digital Agency | $611K Rev | 46% EBITDA | Growing 19%/yr
Business Description
Most digital agencies sell with the owner in the center of everything. This one doesn't.
The operator of this 10-year agency hasn't run day-to-day operations in years. A Principal Project Manager with 8 years of tenure manages client communications, team coordination, and delivery. The lead engineer has 9 years in. The ads specialist, 8. Average team tenure across 10 contractors exceeds 5 years. The owner's primary function has been business development—and that's precisely what creates the opportunity for a new owner.
At $850,000, this acquisition delivers a 33.4% Year 1 return on investment with zero revenue growth assumed. The business generated $283,954 in Adjusted EBITDA on $610,998 in revenue for FY 2025—a 46.5% margin. Revenue grew 18.6% last year, accelerating from 14.8% the year prior. Zero debt. Zero outstanding liabilities.
Seventeen active accounts span construction, healthcare, real estate, technology, and retail. No single client exceeds 15% of revenue. Seven have been with the agency 5+ years, one since 2016. These relationships aren't built on contracts—they're built on results, because the agency operates on rolling retainers without long-term lock-ins. Average monthly revenue per client runs approximately $3,000—a sweet spot for agency stickiness.
The 33.4% return is built on a lean contractor model: $140K in delivery costs, under $10K in annual software, and an operator cost structure the buyer controls. Stripe payment processing provides rapid settlement, and new clients pay upfront. Working capital needs are minimal.
Services cover web development, paid advertising, design, SEO, and analytics, delivered through a documented process stack: Asana, Harvest, Agency Analytics, and Fathom AI for call documentation. SOPs and Loom walkthroughs cover every repeatable process.
The growth gap is sales. This business generated $611K on referrals alone—no outbound, no sales hire, no CRM pipeline. That's not a warning. That's the upside. Formalize outbound, raise prices, convert retainers to annual contracts, cross-sell PPC to existing web clients. The current owner self-identified sales as the primary growth constraint—meaning the margin infrastructure is built and waiting for a sales-enabled operator. Identified upside: $200K–$450K in additional annual revenue.
Asset sale. All IP, 7 domains, client relationships, contractor agreements, SOPs, Agency Analytics dashboards, and GitHub repositories included. No physical equipment. No liabilities. 90-day structured transition with the existing management team remaining in place post-close.
Asking price: $850,000 — 3.0x FY 2025 Adjusted EBITDA. NDA required for full financials and CIM.

- Facilities & Assets
- The acquisition transfers everything needed to operate from day one. Digital assets include the primary domain plus 6 related domains, all 17 active client relationships, and a fully built Agency Analytics reporting environment. The delivery infrastructure includes 10 contractors under active agreements, a documented Asana-based project management system, and SOPs with Loom walkthroughs for every core process. The established tech stack—Google Workspace, Harvest, Asana, Figma, GitHub, WP Engine—is live and operational. No physical equipment, no liabilities, no gaps.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- The demand for full-service digital marketing is structural and growing. SMBs increasingly rely on agency partners to manage web, ads, SEO, and analytics—functions that require expertise they can't hire in-house. This agency competes on relationship depth and service breadth, not price, and has built a client base that reflects it: 17 active accounts across construction, healthcare, real estate, technology, and retail, with an average tenure exceeding 4 years. Seven clients have been with the agency for 5+ years—one for a decade. That kind of retention doesn't happen by accident. It's the product of a tenured team, consistent communication, and measurable results delivered through 24/7 analytics dashboards. AI-assisted workflows including Fathom AI call documentation and emerging GEO services further differentiate the agency in a market where most competitors are still catching up.
- Opportunities for Growth
- This agency's 46.5% EBITDA margin was achieved with essentially zero investment in sales. That's the story. The owner grew to $611K entirely through referrals—meaning every dollar of deliberate outbound investment is additive. Formalize a sales function: add $100K–$200K in revenue. Raise prices on new accounts: add 5–15% across the board. Move retainers to annual contracts: reduce churn risk, increase predictability. Cross-sell PPC to web-only clients: the ads team is in place, the clients are already paying. Package GEO and AI services into a premium offering: the infrastructure exists. A buyer executing these levers in sequence is building a business generating $750K–$850K in annual revenue on a similar margin structure—a meaningfully different asset than what's being purchased today.
About the Sale

- The owner has operated this agency for over a decade and is ready to realize the
- Transition Support
- The seller provides a structured 90-day transition organized into three phases. In the first 30 days, the seller operates the business full-time while the buyer shadows all client calls, team interactions, and workflows—gaining direct exposure to every relationship and process. During days 31–60, the buyer and seller co-manage at a 50/50 split, with the buyer gradually taking ownership of client relationships and team coordination. In the final 30 days, the buyer operates independently with the seller in an advisory capacity. All knowledge transfer is completed before the seller steps away. Importantly, the Principal Project Manager (8 years tenure) and the full delivery team remain in place throughout and post-transition, providing operational continuity independent of the ownership change.
