Why You Should Start a SaaS
may not be what you think
Alex Becker started Hyros (his software company) in 2019
in January of this year, he sold the company for $110,000,000
yes, 110 million dollars, in 4 years
now, Becker had years of entrepreneurship under his belt before and that is not a normal example, AT ALL.
But, SaaS companies see crazy exit multipliers (the multiplier on annual profit or monthly recurring revenue when you sell your business) that other types of companies simply don’t see
for example, SaaS companies often see a 5-10x multiplier on annual profit, so if your software company profits 100k per year, it can be sold for $500k conservatively
in other niches, like ecom or agency, you’d be lucky to get a 1-3x multiplier
so that’s reason #1 to start a SaaS, crazy exit multiples.
The 2nd reason is: Higher profit margins than agency/ecom
since you’re not fulfilling a service via human labor like an agency, you have less overhead, the software IS the fulfillment that the customer is paying for
Reason #3 is if done properly it is a sticky business model which means it’s recession proof
sticky means that your customers NEED your software to run their business or improve their life, so no matter what the economy is doing, they won’t cancel their subscription
