RailwayPrepare a micro-SaaS for sale
Three months of tidy-up that turns a side project into something a buyer can evaluate in an afternoon.
- Who it is for
- Founders thinking about an exit in the next year
- Time
- A few hours a week for 12 weeks
- You end up with
- Verified metrics, documented operations, a for-sale listing with a defensible asking price.
- 1
Verify the numbers first
Buyers discount everything they cannot verify. Connect the payment provider so MRR, churn and revenue history are Verified on the profile; keep the connection for at least three months of history.
- 2
Know your multiple
Run the valuation calculator with honest churn and margin. The range is wide because growth and founder dependence move it; write down which side of the range you are on and why.
- 3
Remove yourself from operations
Document deploys, support macros, billing edge cases and the three things that break every month. A buyer pays more for a business that runs for two weeks without you.
- 4
Clean the stack and the accounts
One owner account per service, no personal cards on business subscriptions, domains in a transferable registrar. The tech stack on your profile is what the buyer will check first.
- 5
Fix the metrics buyers ask about
Customer concentration (largest customer share), refund rate, support load per customer, and the churn of the last two cohorts. If any of them is ugly, fix it or price it in.
