The Global Export Import Directory, an integrated part of the Portal, is actually the world’s largest export import industry directory now running over the web in terms of number of pages and industry categories being developed and added having the real capabilities to handle tens of millions of single company listings without ruining its directory structure, something yet not available over the internet. This web property has the real potential to become the most popular and dominant industry-specific directory in the world if advertising budget is put to work for the popularization of the site.
The entire project development process took us over 18 full months and the founder has invested considerable amount of money up to date.
It occupies top positions out of millions returned in Google(r), Yahoo(r), and MSN(r) when it comes to export import, duty, taxes, customs and tariffs related search queries. Thousands of pages are indexed by GoogleBot and a ten of thousands of others are in a queue and are accessible through Google(r) and all of its co-branded affiliates including CNN(r), Yahoo(r)/yet/ and other top web properties using search results provided by Google(r).

Major competitive advantage: This venture has high barriers to entry… You should not worry that small to mid level companies will ever be able to enter and successfully compete you because of its size (320,000+ page website) that does require solid resources as, including but not limited to, money, time, knowledge, man power and experience to be combined and engaged to get it developed…
Reason for sale: The founder got funded with another project and needs to quit all future day-to-day operations of the venture...Details will be given to prove!
The founder is willing to provide at least 90 days of full support both marketing and technical. Additionally, the founder could retain as future consultant or taking a board seat in the board of directors of the future company for a small equity percentage, helping the new owner(s) driving this venture ahead.
If very minor equity stake is left to the founder and upon interest from the buyer, the current owner has the practical experience to organize and establish an in-house (in-sourcing) Eastern Europe based IT firm to address all future, anticipated to grow, technical issues of the venture. This IT firm, fully owned by the main company (subject of this sale), will conduct programming, development, design, deployment, IT consultations and on going support ONLY for the venture (subject of this sale) as in this way the overall technical costs typically associated with running a large-scale web company will be dramatically reduced. It should result in ten of thousands of dollars saved from tech work on yearly basis!
Project already in place…
In this way the buyer will gain majority control over the venture while keeping all marketing and technical practices employed so far uninterrupted for the future by having in the company the previous owner and the founder who has envisioned the venture… plus an offshore IT in-sourcing firm, 100% owned by the parent company, to take care for all technical issues and perform on-going support at costs may be 10 times cheaper then their equivalent in U.S.
This is a major advantage that should be taken into consideration when planning to acquire and operate a relatively large-scale web property.
I am willing to move quickly and will be very flexible on the deal terms. Let’s open a dialogue and discuss it further…
Price Range Guidance:
1) If the buyer is only looking to acquire this web property and seeks for NO future engagement from the current owner and will NOT keep the current owner committed after the sale and the buyer is able to demonstrate ability to close the deal quickly, the owner will look for a relatively SMALL price and NO equity in the future company as you will become 100% owner under this term.
2) If the buyer, however, is looking to acquire this web property and seeks for future engagement from the current owner and will keep the current owner committed after the sale and the buyer needs more time to close the deal and HAS NEITHER plans to commit its own money for the further success of the venture NOR plans to help the current owner in raising additional capital for growing further the business, the owner will look for a relatively HIGHER price and equity percentage in the range of 50% from the future company as the buyer could become a majority owner.
3) If the buyer is looking to acquire this web property and seeks for future engagement from the current owner and will keep the current owner committed after the sale and the buyer needs some more time to close the deal BUT HAS plans to either commit its own money for the further success of the venture or help the current owner in raising additional capital for growing further the business, the owner will look for the SMALLEST price possible and equity percentage in the range of at least 20% and no more than 35% from the future company as the buyer will be a majority owner.
Comprehensive business plan is available upon request.
