    How Do I Sell My Website Business?

    Yes definitely, it solves the problem of getting some form of revenue with little to no ongoing commitment of time.

    How Do I Sell My Website Business?

    I can see that being true for more competitive keyword terms with more of a global interest and I don't question your experience, but it doesn't align with my experience building more local sites going after more local terms. This website has been on page 1 pretty consistently for 8 years and...

    How Do I Sell My Website Business?

    I can see you relate. That's exactly how I feel. I'm not daft, I can see that the potential marketplace for it is so small that is has little to no value and yet it's simply not worth me selling it for £100. I'd trip over a sale in the next year that would make me £600-800 just by quoting the...

    How Do I Sell My Website Business?

    Well, from my main job I make around £100 an hour so I guess if it takes 5h to market, sell and transfer it would be £500 or £1,000 for 10h. I have no idea what's actually involved as I've never sold a website or URL before and, in any event, it's only worth what a) someone is willing to pay...

    How Do I Sell My Website Business?

    I honestly don't have one. It would have to be something that's worth the hassle of speaking to a seller, figuring out terms, arranging the transfer, etc. Someone said £100 at some point but that's nowhere near worth my time to do anything other than just delete the website and let the URL expire.

    How Do I Sell My Website Business?

    No, but they were when I actually quoted, followed up, closed, etc. By that logic McDonalds UK had no value in April because they weren't making sales of burgers in the UK.

    How Do I Sell My Website Business?

    While that's great in theory from your perspective looking in. It doesn't align with my perspective of actually owning the site for 8-years. I still regularly get enquiries every month through the "get quote" form. In fact, it's those enquiries that prompted this as I've been declining to quote...

    I'm not allowed to post links until 30 posts. If you search, "Goval Bi Folds" the domain will come up top

    How Do I Sell My Website Business?

    Hi, I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post so please move the thread if it's not. I'll try and keep this short and sweet. In 2012 I build a little website in the Bi-Folding Doors niche, which was the top of page 1 in Google the search term "Bi-Folding Doors Scotland". Initially, I...

    Long term no I wouldn't swap with them, but I've only been going 3 years so it would still probably be optimal to have been self-employed if I was playing life in god mode and knew lockdown would happen. You make a fair argument but you overlook the fact that a sole trader has full control over...

    Speaking from my own industry, many of the self-employed guys will qualify for and receive 3 months worth of £2,500 per month and will have the option to knock in stoves and work in the meantime if restrictions are lifted. I, on the other hand, have a choice of £500 odd on Furlough or hope...

    So, what you are saying is I should have got into the business game decades ago ;)

    Using the calculator, and assuming the business makes £50,000 of pre-salary profit, I get the following: Salary Route Take £50,000 as salary. TOTAL TAX & NI Tax & NI paid by employee = £12,464 Employers NI = £5,708 Total = £18,172 Dividend Route Take £8,628 as salary leaving £41,372...

    Employed by my own company advice

    I'll confess that I followed the PAYE +Dividends approach on the advice of my accountant and don't understand the intricate details of how much is "saved" by adopting that approach. Is there a calculator (or can anyone manually) spit out some numbers for all taxes/NI, etc payable in the...
