Automated SaaS for official business certificates with 15–20% conversion, 65% gross margins, and low-maintenance operations generating $481 monthly profit
A fully automated SaaS platform has been developed to streamline the ordering of official Romanian business certificates from the Romanian Trade Registry. Since its launch in November 2024, the platform has generated revenue of €12,900 with gross profit margins ranging from 65-70%. The system uses a comprehensive tech stack, including React for the frontend, Node.js for the backend, and a MongoDB database. Key automated features include integrations for the ONRC portal, Stripe payments, automated invoicing, and communication through email and SMS notifications.
The business requires minimal daily operations, approximately 2-3 hours per week, mainly for customer support and system monitoring. The revenue model is based on a service fee added to the government tax, with profit margins of €14 on basic certificates and €40 on extended certificates with history. The platform's customer base consists entirely of Romanian B2B clients, including business owners and professionals such as accountants and lawyers. Customer acquisition primarily occurs through Google Ads, directly targeting individuals and businesses actively searching for certificates due to requirements for banking, contracts, and tenders.
Financial operations show an expenditure of roughly €7,500 on Google Ads for customer acquisition, while infrastructure costs are a minimal €50 per month. The platform is currently undergoing Google Ads certification for compliance with policies on "Government Documents". It provides a full set of resources, including source code, documentation, and deployment instructions, with six months of technical support available. The system is akin to well-known services like TurboTax or LegalZoom, automating request processes rather than issuing the documents directly.
