How do you come up with a figure for how much to sell your adult oriented business? Is there a general rule of thumb?

The only "right" answer is: What someone is willing to pay for it.
I recently purchased an adult business for something like 5 months of turnover (not profit), because I felt it had potential.
If you are selling a bunch of affiliate websites, I would never pay more than 3 x monthly profit. Because usually, most of that stuff being sold is crap. But some might want to pay more, so it comes right back to where I started: What people are willing to pay
But.... I pulled out... -
A good and solid online business should make 2 or 3 years of revenue as sales price.
Fire sales are priced around 6 months, but why sell for it?
We can always wait 6 months for sales to roll in, can't we?Comment

So faxx using your logic - if a company profits 200k per year then you should be able to sell for 600k?Comment

Many factors are at play. For a service based business without hard assets it would be a fair price based on stable revenue. Let's say a website that brokers ads or sells memberships for years. Of course it would depend on stable history. And I know, cheap bargain hunters will disagree ...
If you have a strongly growing business that made 20k last year and 200k this year, you would have projected earnings of 2 Million for next year. Then a price of 6 Million would be more appropriate.
If hard assets like real estate and patents are included it would increase the number.
Anyhow, it all depends to how good your business is and how much it is worth to others and not based on numbers, only.Last edited by faxxaff; 03-01-2013, 11:37 AM.Comment

I'd want at least 2 years gross. I've turned down 1 years gross before on a payment plan. I want money in an escrow and not payments. The trick is if it's making money never be desperate to sell. And dont buy into the BS that there is a formula for an online adult business. As it was stated before, it's worth what someone will pay for it and what you will take. If it's a good business with a brand hold out.

Yeah, you will never see your full money on a payment plan. There are some burned sheep on this board who sold out on payment plans and had their merchant account closed due to fraudulent activity of the buyer during transition.
Why escrow? Ask for a letter of credit or guarantee from their bank It's less than 50 bucks in fees. It's much more reliable and cheaper than escrow.Comment

You should send an email giving details of exactly what you are selling including numbers to Evan at Hunting Moon, (email already given by him in another post).
Talk to a straight talking guy with actual sales under his belt who does this for a living not people with their own ideas of the market and the "norm" based on what they would sell their own business for or pay for somebody else's.Comment

whatever someone is willing to pay or x amount times your monthly incomes.Comment

3 months gross is fairly common, but, just to kind of reiterate what has been said in this thread, in any business sale, there is the intrinsic value and then there is the value to a strategic buyer i.e. someone where your business fits synergistically into their existing properties.Comment

Generally you are looking at between 6 and 12 months earnings. It will depend on many factors such as the quality of the product, average RRC's and how steady rebill rates are.SEO Strategy - Digital Strategy - Cannabis Lead Generation

depends how optimized you are, if you are fully optimized and I see no room for improvement then I'll pay monthly revenue times ( x months)
if I see weakness or under optimization then I'm willing to go to a higher monthly multiplication as I know with a few tweaks income could be significantly increased therefore cutting positive return time downComment
