Usually around a year after acquisition. For example, a few years back, a Home Decor online business purchased by a US based web farm for around $100,000. At the time the website was generating ~$40,000 in annual net income.
About 18 months later this web farm had increased sales to $800,000 annually and $160,000 in net. They “flipped” this Internet Business Opportunity for a sale price of ~$500,000. After deducting their development expenses over the 18 month period, ~$120,000, they netted a nice profit of $250,000! Plus a net profit on increased website sales of ~$60,000.
