The business is an online marketplace where users can hire gamers, known as eFriends, to play video games with them. Users can also become eFriends themselves, setting their own rates per game starting from $1. This venture mirrors a similar successful platform that rapidly gained hundreds of thousands of users through effective advertising, achieving revenues in the six-figure range and attracting over a million visitors in some months. The business is fully operational, with well-developed branding assets and a custom-developed website by a dedicated team, whose contacts will be passed on to the new owner for future updates.
Revenue is generated by taking a 15% commission from all transactions on the platform. The decision to sell arises from the current owner's shift in focus toward other large eCommerce projects. The business, which cost around $25,000 and took six months to develop with a team of 4-6 members, is being sold to break even. It requires minimal maintenance and has undergone comprehensive quality assurance testing.
This business is ideal for someone with a general understanding of and enthusiasm for the gaming industry, who could leverage this knowledge to scale operations. The assets bundled with the sale include brand materials, contracts, custom technology, hosting, marketing collateral, and other essential resources. Post-sale support is also provided, making it a turn-key opportunity for the right buyer, poised to capture market share alongside a similar, rapidly growing competitor.
