A home-services marketplace based in Riyadh was developed to facilitate the connection between customers and local service providers specializing in areas such as plumbing, electrical work, painting, and contracting. The developer personally built the platform from scratch, leading to a live operation with functional iOS and Android applications, a backend/API, and a website with a unique domain. This platform includes brand assets, a deployment setup, and a network of over 100 registered service providers within Riyadh. The platform gained initial traction without significant investment in marketing, enabling providers to create profiles and directly connect with potential customers.
The marketplace is currently pre-revenue as the focus was prioritized on establishing the marketplace and onboarding service providers. Future revenue models are being considered, including provider boosts, premium accounts, and custom job requests, with some features already in development. The business remains entirely founder-owned, carries no debt, employs no staff, and operates on a fully digital basis, offering remote management capabilities.
The decision to sell arises from the founder's commitments as a university student, limiting the ability to further commercialize and expand the platform. The platform is considered an ideal acquisition for buyers with expertise in technology, construction, home services, or marketplaces who possess the resources to advance the platform. The sale includes a comprehensive handover, with the founder offering assistance for technical transitions, deployment processes, app-store transfers, and website/domain migrations, ensuring a smooth operational understanding for the prospective buyer.
