Slowly but surely getting into the new year. Judging by the number of queries since returning back to the office would indicate that:
a) many business owners want to explore the sell option
b) many potential business owners have gone “shopping”
It will be interesting to see how all pans out…

BS43 Tourism
Deposit locked and loaded. Settlement planned for February.
When it’s a good thing, it pays to act quickly.
BS49 Home Help…
This is an interesting one. Mainly because it is playing in a growth industry but the players looking at it are playing small. The revisit of the presentation certainly worked, had a great meeting this morning with a most eligible buyer!
BS53 Balloons! and all that goes with them…
Such corporate appeal, so untapped. Potential buyers have stalled a little now. It’s waiting for the savvy operator that can see past the retail component. Needs to be thought more of as a warehouse!
BS57 Online Business
Signed good to go. A true online business at that ie all is in place, it’s making money and it dropships! In the process of developing the IM now. Stay tuned.

So I’ve been shopping haven’t I.
Keen to make my next purchase.
But… the ones I’ve looked at in the past week just haven’t met the mark.
That said, I’m assuming that more websites will definitely come on the market progressively over the next weeks, once everyone is back in the swing of things, post the festive season.
I must say though… how addictive is Flippa!
I can get lost for hours trawling through all the sites on sale, most of which don’t meet my criteria but then it’s a bit like any shopping really. You can spend a whole lot of time doing it even though you have something quite specific in mind. I’m confident I’ll have found just the thing to purchase by this time next week.
If you have a website you’d like to sell and want me to have a look at, please drop me a line to sell@theentrepreneurialmother.com
Happy to explore that as an option with you…

This week I’ve been “shopping” for websites.
Plenty around but not many I’m all that interested in. Mainly because even though they may look pretty, there’s been no real revenue-generating thought put into them. Yes, in some cases that can offer opportunity for me, agreed. But not at the asking prices!
Buying and selling a a website is no different to buying and selling a business.
Just because the owner of the site has spent, in some cases, a lot of money to get the site functioning the way it does, it does not automatically mean the site is worth that much.
If it is nothing more than a really expensive “brochure”, the value as such will usually be negligible to a potential buyer. What a seller wants to be able to demonstrate, to illustrate value, is only two things… traffic (incl. database) and revenue.
If neither of these is able to be validated, then realistic interest in the site will be no more than it is for the construction of an average site, regardless of the bells and whistles. That said, there’s always the exception whereby the site holds some strategic value and will save the potential buyer a lot of effort. They, however, are few and far between…
If you have a website you’d like me to have a look at, please email details to sell@theentrepreneurialmother.com

Whilst each of you are determining your own Online Business Strategy, I’ve been working on mine. That is, I am now in hot pursuit of Online Businesses and websites as a potential purchase for myself and/or my network of potential buyers… Do you have one?
Is your Online Business/website:
- profitable?
- traffic savvy?
- niche driven?
- older than 12 months?
- ready to be sold?
- priced to buy?
If yes to any of the above, please contact me at sell@theentrepreneurialmother.com advising the above details and the best way to contact you?

Well, it’s like any strategy really. The more pressing question is probably more about whether I, as a Business Owner, actually has any kind of strategy at all!
If yes, then adding the Online component will be less tricky.
If no, then starting from scratch, with the end in mind, is what needs to happen sooner rather than later.
Whilst the following Strategic principles will be Online focused, they apply across the greater business strategy as well…
- what’s worked and what needs to?
- who cares and how will they?
- the Online RollOut Plan
- what does this all mean to YOU, the Business Owner?
We’ll explore each of these in detail, one by one, over the ensuing days.
