Main Financial Strategies, Market Analyses, and Business Trends

  1. Types of Digital Businesses & Assets:
    • Business Sites (Side Income): Small websites generating additional income, manageable in a few hours weekly, typically costing between a few thousand to €20-30k.
    • Renovation (Digital Real Estate): Buying underperforming or outdated websites to improve and resell or generate income, requiring specific skills depending on the renovation scope.
    • Takeover (Entrepreneurship by Acquisition): Buying an existing company with or without teams, often financed by bank loans, involving operational management.
  2. Types of Digital Assets & Economic Models:
    • E-commerce: Includes traditional stock management, Dropshipping (no stock), marketplaces, and Amazon FBA.
      • Dropshipping advantages: no stock, less upfront capital.
      • Dropshipping disadvantages: longer delivery times, quality control issues.
      • E-commerce advantages: control over stock and delivery, economies of scale.
      • E-commerce disadvantages: higher management time, storage needs, upfront capital.

    • Other assets: Newsletters, podcasts, Shopify apps, etc.
  3. Valuation & Yield:
    • Valuation based on monthly net profit multiplied by a factor (e.g., 24-36 months for content sites).
    • Content sites usually have higher multiples than e-commerce due to lower management effort and higher margins.
    • E-commerce sites have lower multiples due to higher operational costs.
    • SaaS businesses tend to have higher valuations due to recurring revenue models.
    • Importance of considering expenses: hosting, content creation, plugins, stock, shipping, customer service, etc.
    • Use of tools like dotmarket.au/estimation for price estimation.
  4. Skills & Time Management:
    • Matching your skills and available time to the type of business is critical.
    • Basic skills: CMS management (WordPress, Shopify), SEO, logistics, customer service.
    • Advanced skills: technical SEO, marketing (influencer, Google Ads), product sourcing, software understanding for SaaS.
    • Renovation requires specific skills to fix weaknesses.
    • Takeover requires management and operational skills depending on team size.
  5. Choosing the Right Website - Investment Thesis:
    • Define financial goals (desired income, budget).
    • Assess technical and strategic criteria (platform familiarity, growth trend, monetization model).
    • Consider personal interests, skills, and time availability.
    • Plan exit strategy, especially for renovation projects.
  6. Analysis & Due Diligence:

    • Asset purchases generally require own funds or seller credit (installment payments arranged with the seller).
    • Company acquisitions (takeovers) may qualify for bank loans if proper financial documentation exists.
    • Financing for digital businesses is complex and evolving; expert advice recommended.
