Exits and Acquisitions Built a turnkey luxury RCBI platform over 5 years (signed provider contracts, quote engine, brand suite) but $0 revenue. How do you value turnkey infrastructure?
Over the last 5 years, I built out a full turnkey operational package for a global mobility & residency advisory. I handled every piece of the supply side, tech stack, and brand infrastructure, but as an product person, I never picked up the phone to do high-touch HNW sales.
What is fully built & ready:
Supply-Side Provider Agreements: Direct relationships and signed agreements with established program providers across key jurisdictions (EU, Caribbean, UAE).
Proprietary Interactive Tool: Custom-built quote generator/calculator for HNW prospects to compare program costs, investment thresholds, and timelines in real time.
Luxury Brand & Marketing Suite: Complete brand identity, pitch decks, client intake collaterals, and high-converting landing pages tailored to HNWIs and family offices.
5-Year Digital Footprint: Custom client management portal, intake vault, aged domain, and structured CRM backend.
The Strategy Dilemma:
This isn't just a code repo, it's a turnkey business ready to take client deposits on day one. A wealth manager, immigration lawyer, or high-ticket sales agency could plug this into their existing audience immediately.
Since there is $0 historical cash flow, I'm trying to figure out the best valuation and deal structure strategy.
Questions for the community:
How do buyers value time to market savings when signed supplier contracts and custom interactive tools are included?
Is an upfront asset sale better, or a lower upfront price paired with a commission revenue-share on the first 10 closed deals?
What is the most effective way to pitch a turnkey asset like this to established wealth management practices or family offices?
TLDR: 5-year build with signed provider contracts, custom quote engine, and luxury marketing asset. Looking for advice on valuing turnkey operational packages.

I have decided on exiting the business and industry all together. Exit a throwaway valuation and transition out to whomsoever. As Fatigue has set in deep.

Yeah, Your evaluation is spot on. Thinking of a clean sub 20k exit. And website and marketing material won't depreciate as such, I keep them updated. Not that much changes month to month. Maybe annually at most for Caribbean citizenship or EU Golden Visas.

Hoping for that clean break to come very soon. Thanks a lot for your encouragement.

the real question is whether those provider agreements are transferable. If they're tied to you personally or your entity and cant be assigned without renegotiation, that changes the whole valuation picture. I'd get clarity on that before pitching anyone

Agreements are signed under the entity which itself will be transferred, if asset sale then service providers are more than happy to sign the agreement under new entity/owner. I am just looking at quick exit sub20k

BTW, Because you asked about entity. Entity is Ontario Limited Partnership in Canada can restructured as US LLC if client requires or UK LTD, that would be as per client profile.
