Pending

WebsiteClosers® presents an online company operating in the Short-Term Rental industry. This SBA Pre-Qualified agency provides everything a client needs to successfully operate an Airbnb or vacation home across the country. In less than 3 years, the company has created opportunity for more than 500+ short-term rentals.

The company’s consulting program has helped clients find a market where short-term rental properties thrive, and then a suitable property that meets their criteria. Additional services include providing live coaching calls, self-guided modules about this industry, and assisting clients in finding guests to stay at their property.

This program is now attracting 40 new clients a month, and the company’s consulting program, valued at $8,800, represents 60% of its profits. The other 40% comes from their interior design work. Once a client has signed a lease on a property, the company is available to provide a professional interior designer who can decorate the entire property while the client focuses on launching the business. This service can range from $14,000 to $20,000.

This business was the first in the nation to offer this kind of service for the short-term rental market, which is booming as more vacationing families and travelers opt to stay in fully furnished homes and condominiums rather than in a small hotel room. This agency has tapped into the excitement that many entrepreneurs have for the notion of opening a short-term rental, either as a form of passive income or to start a larger and more profitable chain of rentals.

The company is now enjoying a whopping 136% YoY Net Profit growth, while at the same time, this is a turnkey business that requires the current ownership to work no more than 10 hours per week or less. With an experienced management team in place, the new owner has an opportunity to take this business to soaring new heights as the short-term rental industry continues to grow by leaps and bounds.

This business represents a clear opportunity for a U.S. Buyer to acquire this company and then scale it quickly by directing marketing to additional states, and by launching premium or discount programs that attract a much wider income group.

Business Broker Takeaway

Our analysis of this business shows that the value propositions present are strong for a first-time buyer looking to get into the online space. We are excited about this business for 3 important reasons:

1. Popular Services. The brand’s top services include an $8,800 package that helps clients find a strong market to operate a short-term rental in, as well as an attractive property. But their service doesn’t stop there. Clients can learn how to maximize profits from their new rental property, and their interior design service is another popular option. Additional services can include having this brand negotiate the lease with the landlord, and providing live coaching calls and self-guided modules on how vacation homes thrive. The company is now exploring opportunities to sell furniture for empty short-term rentals that need to be fully furnished. Clients have the option of signing up for two properties at a discounted rate of $13,000.

2. The Company Operates Nationwide. While based in Florida, the company can accept clients across the U.S., although it now focuses mainly on states that allow licensing of short-term rental leases. This has enabled them to attract clients in top vacation states such as Colorado, Florida, New Mexico, North Carolina, and Texas, among others. The company’s clients tend to be entrepreneurs who earn $100,000+ annually and maintain a high credit score. Many of them have successful careers in fields such as technology and medicine or are real estate investors, and this company has enjoyed great success targeting and attracting high-income earners across the county. The company now has a $22,000+ Lifetime Customer Value.

3. Vibrant Marketing Plan. The company has been able to use carefully targeted PPC ad campaigns on Google and social media sites such as Facebook and Instagram to attract clients eager to get into the short-term rental market. A blog on the company’s website also boosts its organic traffic and attracts more visitors to the website. The company also generates traffic through posts on TikTok and YouTube and has 1,700+ followers on Instagram and an email database of 10,000+ subscribers.

The Company

First launched nearly 3 years ago, the company recognized a significant opening in the lucrative short-term rental industry. Their services not only take away the hard work of finding a suitable property for vacation or business travels, but also educates the entrepreneurs on how this industry succeeds. As the company has discovered, a lot of people were looking for a service like this one and eagerly signed up.

The company was the first in the nation to introduce this kind of service for short-term rental managers and owners, and while some competitors offer a coaching model, no active competitors are providing a full-service offer to do similar work for the client. Because the few competitors in this vertical do not have the proper real estate licensing, this company has a significant advantage over each one. This has created a very high barrier for potential competitors to get into this vertical by offering the same level of services this brand has.

Operations

This is now a highly automated business, and the two owners often work less than 10 hours per week each, mostly focusing on conducting weekly meetings with their team, reviewing projections and financials, and overseeing content creation strategies.

Daily operations are managed by four employees who oversee all office and administrative tasks. The company also employs four contractors as their Customer Success Team to handle all incoming client inquiries.

Even more crucial to the company’s success has been their employment of 50 contractors who are licensed real estate professionals, instrumental in finding thriving short-term rental markets and properties, and the designers who decorate the properties.

The company also employs a copywriter for their email marketing campaigns.

As the short-term rental industry gets stronger, so will this business. There is unlikely to be a shortage anytime soon of individuals interested in operating a vacation home in a desirable location, and this company is ideally positioned to help them succeed. The fact that this company successfully attracts high-income clients demonstrates just how effective their services are.
