Anyone ever sell their home-based webdesign business?

[xanh45]

Hello everyone,

I've been doing really well with my webdesign business (about a year old) and am looking towards the future. My strategy is to hopefully sell the business in the next 10-15 years or so, however, I am not sure whether it's even possible.



1.) Is it possible to sell a one-man webdesign company (I use subcontractors) that is home-based? I was looking over this awesome book called "The Owner's Manual for Small Business" and it says that one-man consulting businesses are sold all the time. I am just not sure if it's the same as a one-man webdesign business.



Anyone have any experience with this and/or have any advice they'd like to share?

I think it is possible for you to sell, a lot of new designers might be looking forward to owning an established company with a good reputation from the beginning, rather than having to build their reputation/company portfolio from scratch.

That's what I don't want to do. I prefer to stay small, home-based and not have to pay employee benefits, taxes, etc. With subcontractors, I get away with a lot. Even the IRS admits this on their website.



Either way, a small business fits my lifestyle and personality better than an office.



Maybe having an employee or two will make the sale more attractive?
