Original Summary

I recently got an offer to buy my startup for $1XX,XXX and I genuinely don’t know if selling makes sense I’ve actually received 8 different acquisition offers for Getlead so far , but this was by far the most interesting one. Some context: I’m a solo founder and built the whole thing myself. Right now the business does around $9K–$10K/month in revenue with roughly 30–40% profit margins . MRR is only around $2K , mainly because I’ve sold a lot of lifetime deals instead of focusing purely on subscriptions In the last ~9 months, I’ve done $90K+ in total revenue . My best B2C sales day was $1,300+ , excluding any high-ticket/client deals. And honestly, the goal now is pretty simple: make $1K+ days boring. I want to get to the point where the business consistently does at least $1K/day in sales . I’m not there yet, obviously, but after seeing what worked on my best days, I think there’s a realistic path to getting this to around $30K–$40K/month in revenue over the next few months if I can make the acquisition channels more consistent. That’s probably the biggest reason I’m hesitating to sell. Part of me looks at the acquisition offer and thinks: I already generated close to that amount in revenue in 9 months. Why would I sell the whole thing for roughly the same amount? But I also know that’s not necessarily the right way to think about it. Revenue ≠ profit A lot of the revenue came from lifetime deals, so this isn’t the same thing as owning a $10K MRR SaaS with predictable recurring revenue. And taking an acquisition offer means getting the money now instead of betting on what the business might become over the next 1–3 years. The business also still depends heavily on me. Sales, marketing, product decisions, positioning, pretty much everything still runs through me. So there’s definitely risk. But at the same time, I don’t feel like the business has peaked. I’m still testing pricing. I’m still figuring out distribution. I haven’t really optimized subscriptions yet. And I’m only now starting to understand which offers and channels can consistently produce those $1K+ days If I believed the business had already reached its ceiling, the decision would be much easier. But right now it feels like I’d be selling while I’m still figuring out the part that could completely change the economics of the business. So I’m basically stuck between: Take the six-figure exit, remove a lot of the risk, and start something new or Keep building and try to turn occasional $1K+ days into the baseline. For people who’ve sold a SaaS/business before: What would you actually look at before deciding whether an offer like this is worth taking? Not really looking for a simple “sell” or “don’t sell.” I’m more interested in how you’d value a business like this when current MRR is relatively low, but total revenue is much higher and there’s still a lot of room to push recurring revenue.
