Founded more than twenty years ago by a telecommunication and media veteran, the company provides a cloud-based software solution for media companies to effortlessly calculate complex video content royalties, eliminating error-prone manual methods. The software can be used for any type of royalty calculation and is not limited to video.
The company’s mission-critical software generates a client retention rate that exceeds 99%. Their high recurring revenue of 97% of the projected $861K revenue for 2023, showcases the stability of the business model with very predictable, consistent returns. The cash flow of the company as measured by its seller discretionary earnings (SDE) is estimated to be around $434k in 2023 (+15.7% increase year over year).
Notably, revenue sources remain diversified, with newer revenue streams such as Managed Services, Consulting, and Custom software accounting for more than 20% of revenue and no single client contributing more than 12% of revenue. A secure foundation is established through multi-year contracts with major clients, assuring a steady future income stream. An acquirer can capitalize on untapped potential in the expansive market, where hundreds of companies, both domestically and internationally, still rely on outdated tools. A lean and efficient operational structure, characterized by minimal overhead and a remote workforce, positions the company for high scalability and amplified profitability with each new client acquisition.
Team: Fully remote team, led by its CEO and founder, supported by a team of four employees working part-time and full-time.
Services and Clients: The comprehensive services offering which includes custom software development and software licensing, also features budgeting tools and consulting services. These generate steady recurring revenue. Newer revenue streams include Managed Services, as companies continue to look for opportunities to streamline their operations and outsource their administrative costs.
Most client contracts are secured on a multi-year basis ranging from three (3) years upward.
