Network of industry portals (170+ domains)

The company operates a network of over 170 Dutch industry and business domains, 152 of which have been developed and set up as separate industry portals. The platform features a proprietary software environment for business directories, local search functionality, reviews, company profiles, hours of operation, multi-location management, and industry-specific search filters.

The database includes approximately 22,500 users, 4,100 reviews, 89,000 completed industry-specific attributes, and 725,000 opening date records. The platform also offers features for paid pro accounts, advertisements, premium listings, and other forms of commercial exploitation; however, these commercial activities are not currently being actively pursued.

Business Activities and Customer Base
The network focuses on the Dutch market and covers a wide range of industries, including construction & housing, business services, healthcare, retail, hospitality, and other services, with examples such as dentists, lawyers, accountants, landscapers, contractors, jewelers, opticians, pharmacies, and psychologists. The original target audience consists of consumers searching locally for businesses and services, and Dutch small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that want to be found through the portals.

Strengths
What sets this offering apart is the combination of 25 years of accumulated digital assets, an extensive domain portfolio, proprietary software, and structured industry data. The portfolio includes over 170 domain names and 152 developed industry portals, many of which have been in use for 10 to 25 years. Instead of relying solely on standard business data, the platform offers industry-specific information, featuring approximately 800 subcategories and 10,000 different attributes and options.

Other strengths include proprietary source code and intellectual property, multi-location management for businesses, and existing review, CMS, and monetization features. The company currently generates approximately €10,000 in annual revenue without an active sales organization.

Organization and Infrastructure
The company operates on a very lean basis; the platform’s operation is largely automated and currently requires only limited maintenance (such as replacing SSL certificates and installing updates), with no active sales organization or separate operations team. Operations are fully digital and not dependent on a specific physical location; domains, software, databases, accounts, and other digital assets can be transferred as part of the transaction.

Opportunities and Growth Potential
The most significant growth opportunity lies in actively re-exploiting the existing infrastructure. Opportunities include the reintroduction of paid pro accounts, the sale of premium placements and advertisements, lead generation by industry, SEO and content optimization of the existing portals, expansion and updating of company data, partnerships with industry associations, development of quote and comparison platforms, utilization of structured data for AI and vertical search applications, and modernization of the platform and user interface.
