Video SaaS Platform – $621K Profit – $2.8M Asking – 4.5x Multiple
Listing Type (?): Interesting Find
Note: this is seemingly a ‘solid’ business for the right buyer; just not so much for my tastes and most of our readers.

📸 Snapshot:
There’s a lot going on here. This 8-year-old SaaS offers a full suite of video creation and hosting tools, with 100% proprietary tech and a client base that includes large retailers. Profit grew 77% from 2023 to 2024—impressive, but probably not sustainable. Most of that growth came in just the last two years, which raises questions about durability.
✅ The Good:
100% proprietary stack—no licensing risk.
Recurring SaaS revenue + per-video payments.
Strong client base with some enterprise contracts already in place for 2025.
No ad spend; growth has been referral and partner-driven.
Low overhead with a lean team and automated ops.
⚠️ Watch Out:
77% YoY profit growth is great—but hard to repeat.
AI is positioned as “no threat” and a future opportunity—mixed signal.
Majority of profit built in just the last 2 years.
Not ideal for a first-time buyer—this one requires experience managing complexity and enterprise clients.
💡 Bottom Line:
This could be a great business—for the right buyer. The tech is real, the client list is strong, and there’s clear room to scale. But given the recent spike in profits and the moving parts, it’s better suited for someone who’s operated in SaaS before—not your first swing at online business.
