The business in question, established in April 2016, is a marketplace specializing in the sale of templates for Adobe After Effects. It features over 1600 unique custom-built templates and intellectual property. While there is significant growth potential in the business, the current owner has been preoccupied with other ventures and unable to commit the necessary time. As a result, the business has been operating passively, with minimal management required—only about 4 to 6 hours per month. Over the past 4-5 months, no work has been done, which has led to a slight decline in revenue and traffic.
Revenue is primarily generated through a $10 monthly subscription offering premium access to the template files. There are opportunities for additional income via ads and affiliate links with other creative template sites that remain untapped. The owner, who maintains a full-time job running a creative agency, views this enterprise as a side project and is therefore selling it due to time constraints.
The business is ideal for anyone who can dedicate some time to focusing on marketing, sales, and operational tasks, and would benefit from an injection of effort and strategy to realize its full potential. Assets included with the sale are custom technology and relevant email accounts. Post-sale support is also provided to ensure a smooth transition.
