BWPS reported approximately $379 thousand of adjusted EBITDA in 2021 (on an unaudited basis).
SEOButler provides extensive products within the SEO niche including content, guest posting, social signals, and citations. SEOButler strives to be an innovator in the industry providing quality products and exceptional customer service at every part of the buying journey. In 2020, SEOButler built and deployed a custom-built Order Management System (OMS), designed to make the content creation process highly scalable while eliminating the bottlenecks that could otherwise impede the growth of a productized service business that relies primarily on human writers and editors. SEOButler reported $268 thousand of adjusted EBITDA in 2021 (on an unaudited basis).
“Consistent with Onfolio’s mission of acquiring profitable and cash generating businesses, we are excited to announce the acquisitions of BWPS and SEOButler, which meaningfully advance our corporate strategy, strengthen our diversified portfolio of businesses, and delivers on our strategy set forth with our entrance to the public markets,” said Dominic Wells, CEO of Onfolio. “Both BWPS and SEOButler meet our investment criteria and fit nicely into our diversified portfolio of compelling businesses.”
Mr. Wells continued, “There are ample opportunities ahead, and we remain focused on uncovering the next compelling niche business. Onfolio has developed a team with the capability to identify businesses with loyal customers, integrate them into our portfolio, and keep them profitable. Our strategy offers investors an opportunity to diversify their own portfolio risk, and we believe that the acquisitions of quality businesses like BWPS and SEOButler further position Onfolio for future growth and shareholder value creation.”
