I can tell you it was not fun. Do all your diligence about all the details that matter, trustworthy metrics, IP, real costs, and advertising history; don't trust so easily.<p>Another piece of advice is to start small, don't buy a 100.000 $us business, start with something less than 5.000 $us, and learn how to measure and reprovision costs; it's not always evident how to continue with an existing business.
The following sites/marketplaces have a mix of SaaS sites, content sites, and affiliate sites. These are all generally higher value sites/businesses for sale (think 50k and up for many) and are often for sale at high yearly multiples.<p><a href="https://microacquire.com/" rel="nofollow">https://microacquire.com/</a><p><a href="https://latonas.com/" rel="nofollow">https://latonas.com/</a><p><a href="https://feinternational.com/" rel="nofollow">https://feinternational.com/</a><p><a href="https://empireflippers.com/marketplace/" rel="nofollow">https://empireflippers.com/marketplace/</a><p>If you're considering lower value businesses to purchase, these two will primarily have sites/businesses for sale for under 50k, but often considerably less than (eg. 1-5k):<p><a href="https://www.sideprojectors.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.sideprojectors.com/</a><p><a href="https://www.flippa.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.flippa.com/</a><p>As with all things, whatever you're considering buying from any of these sources, you're going to want to do your due diligence to make sure everything is above board.
Somewhat adjacent to this question, does the techstack have an impact on the price of a SaaS? I could imagine a java/react codebase is easier to sell then a rust/clojurescript stack. Is this true?
And if it is, should it be a concern when starting a side-hustle?
You don't. SaaS businesses come in 2 variants:<p>1. Failed product market fit. These will be for sale, but you won't want to buy them because operating them will cost more than the revenue they produce.<p>2. The market likes the product. In this case, the original owner can just hire people to do the work, so there's no reason to sell.
