The Company is a managed technology services and security provider with a long operating history and a primarily remote delivery model. It generated approximately ~$1.0M of TTM revenue and ~$0.5M of TTM seller’s discretionary earnings, with roughly 80% of revenue contractual and recurring under per-seat and per-device agreements. The largest client represents about 5% of revenue and the top five about 20%, limiting customer concentration risk. The Company serves small and mid-sized organizations across regulated sectors including defense supply chain, healthcare, municipal, utilities, and professional services. It delivers managed IT, managed security, cloud, backup, and compliance support, operating on a modern toolstack and supporting multiple security and compliance frameworks. Written agreements with annual terms and automatic renewal, low historical churn, and 90%-plus remote service create a scalable platform with meaningful operating leverage. The business benefits from a strong reputation, reflected in consistently high online reviews, and from proprietary automation scripts and documentation processes embedded in its delivery stack. A small in-place technical team handles day-to-day delivery at moderate utilization, leaving capacity to add seats without immediate headcount increases. Documented growth levers include funding demand generation to capitalize on existing inbound infrastructure, expanding compliance credentials to capture additional defense-related work, introducing cyber insurance offerings to the installed base, and pursuing broader geographic and vertical expansion. Both owners plan to retire and are prepared to support a structured transition to maintain client and vendor continuity, offering an acquirer a recurring-heavy platform with established processes and embedded compliance capabilities.

Key diligence, valuation, financing, and transition considerations for buyers evaluating online and technology business acquisitions.
Do not rely on a profit-and-loss screenshot. Get read access to the payment processor, the ad accounts, the bank, and analytics, and reconcile reported revenue against processor payouts for at least the trailing twelve months.
Most online businesses depend on one channel: search, paid social, a marketplace, or an app store. Ask what share of revenue rides on it and what a ranking or policy change would do.
For subscription and SaaS models, gross and net revenue retention matter more than the top line. Growth on new customers while existing ones churn is worth far less than the headline.
A handful of accounts or a single manufacturer can carry the whole business. Quantify what happens if the largest customer or supplier walks.
Identify who owns the code, the domains, the ad pixels, and the key integrations. Founder-built systems with no documentation are a transition risk you price in, not ignore.
Many small online businesses are one person doing content, fulfillment, and support. Get specific about what the seller does each week and what it would cost to replace them.
