A technology entrepreneur is selling a well-established game server provider, originally launched in 2013, that caters to the Australian and New Zealand markets. This business primarily leases dedicated servers to host multiplayer games such as Battlefield and Minecraft. It has a stable monthly recurring revenue of approximately $13,200 AUD, although revenue previously peaked at $33,000 AUD with active marketing efforts. The operations are highly automated, with cloud servers set up through an automated system and customer support managed by outsourced teams in the Philippines. The business has licenses with Electronic Arts for Battlefield servers, a rare and valuable asset in this field.
Despite success in SEO, the company has not invested in recent marketing or new game offerings, contributing to a decline in revenue. Opportunities for growth include expanding the game portfolio, additional geographical locations, and revisiting marketing strategies like those that previously yielded strong results through Facebook and seasonal promotions.
The business is low-maintenance, requiring minimal weekly hours for escalated billing issues. Its customer base is mostly young adults, and customer retention is strong due to the recurring subscription model. However, past customers represent an untapped remarketing opportunity.
Financially, the business averages a monthly revenue of $16,681.94 AUD with main costs from server rentals and licensing fees. The sale includes domain names, a WHMCS ordering system, a comprehensive customer database, licensing agreements, and social media assets, though the proprietary business entity itself will not transfer. Additional needs for the buyer include a credit card payment processor and a domain resale account.
