Selling domain name + website + global business model. Not getting any younger and would like to retire. The business is pure B2B in engineering manufacturing.
A domain name, website, and associated business in the manufacturing sector are up for sale due to the current owner’s retirement plans. The domain, which has been registered since 2004, powers a PHP-developed website with a MySQL database. This platform offers lead sorting and distribution tools and integrates with a payment service provider for credit card payments.
Catering to B2B interactions, the website targets the engineering-focused manufacturing sector. It allows companies to list their business profiles and products across approximately 29,000 industry categories. The business operates on multiple models: a bulk lead distribution model, a tiered paid membership model (Gold/Silver/Bronze), and an offsite model that facilitates trade between companies, which is the primary revenue source.
The database comprises over 1,084,000 businesses, with 30,000 actively enhancing their listings. It categorizes companies into nearly 29,700 industry-specific categories organized into three tiers. Website traffic averages between 3,000 to 4,000 B2B users monthly, predominantly driven by organic search traffic (75%), with Google being the major contributor.
The hosting services are secured through March 2025, and the transition process involves complete access provision (including FTP, MySQL, and email server) upon sale and domain transfer. Support from an external development company is available to assist the new owner in ensuring a seamless transition if required.
