For sale is a lucrative financial business that provides financial trading systems, investor training and advisory services. The core products include a comprehensive trading system and training course, a live forex signal service, and an emini futures live signal service. All are sold on a recurring model and drive consistent recurring revenue for the business.
There are several smaller revenue sources including advertising revenue, coaching, live seminars and a managed investment account with $500,000 under management.
There are also several additional revenue sources in various stages of development including: a new version of a successful trading system (previous version generated 1500 customers and over $1.5mm in sales); live seminars; an Australia/Asia joint venture with local representation; and an index swing trading service.
You will get the complete company entity and all the assets associated with it. Many of the products have been trademarked. And there are customer and prospect databases of: 600 recurring service subscribers, a 2,000+ person customer list, a 9,000 person trial subscriber list, a 77,000 person prospect list and 100 affiliates.
Important - it would be helpful but you do not need to have any knowledge of trading, forex, futures or other markets in order to successfully run this business. There is an existing minority partner who is willing to stay on that handles everything required to run the business ongoing. The seller will also provide complete training. Ideally the new owner will have some sales or marketing expertise, or you can bring in someone that has that type of expertise.
Also included in the sale of this business are all the marketing systems used to drive the $2 million a year in sales. The seller has spent considerable time and money testing various methods of driving sales and has advertising systems in place that consistently generate prospects, sales and profits.
With the existing minority partner that can run everything, the sizeable customer & prospect lists, proven sales processes and proprietary trademarked products you'll have a high profit business that you can run on a nearly autopilot basis if you choose to do so.
Employees: There are only 3 actual employees (the owner, his wife and the minority partner). The rest of the staff is comprised of 6 independent contractors that are paid hourly.
Relocatable: There is outsourced fulfillment for the one physical course and the other products are all delivered digitally through online subscriptions. The business is currently run virtually and can be operated from anywhere.
Competition: The investor educating and forex markets are huge and growing every year. Forex trading is getting more and more popular and forex traders rely on tools that automate and assist in making certain trades. This business has multiple trading systems and training that has proven to work so customers continue using the services on a regular basis.
It is a competitive market and this business has a 12 year track record of delivering quality tools for traders. One of the competitive advantages of this business is that its primary training course has multiple applications and can be used in forex, futures, swing trading and others. Unlike many competitors, this business has proven proprietary products, with proven marketing systems and recurring revenue models to drive sales ongoing. If you wanted to, you could continue the business at its current levels simply by working the internal prospect lists.
Growth/Expansion: The current owner has been splitting their time between this business and a totally unrelated startup ecommerce business. With a new owner that is willing to focus on this business and implement the growth plans for 2008 and beyond, this business can easily do $4-5MM/year.
Support/Training: The seller will provide support and training for an agreed upon period of time. Depending on what you want to do with the business, the seller is also willing to potentially stay on as a part-time consultant.
Financing: All cash offers are preferred, but the seller is open to offers that include some amount of seller financing.
Reason Selling: The seller has a totally unrelated business that they want to focus on. They could continue to split time between the two businesses, but would prefer to focus on growing the other startup ecommerce business and see someone take this business and do great things with it.
