If your brand is well known and you have a flawless reputation, you could do 2x without issue.

Finally, someone who doesn't read the WHMCS scripts
and uses the word Income as Revenue !

In general this maybe the case. However, think of it like this. What if someone didn't get discounted pricing on leasing servers, or had lousy colo pricing and had INEFFICIENT expenses. The moral of the story is, you need to read the whole story. Is the company growing, are they profitable, what are the retention rates, how long have they been in business, brand reputation and recognition, competitors, is there an opportunity for me to make this business more efficient, more effective, and more profitable. Does this company fit into my current business model, do I have room on my infrastructure/network to take on this additional capacity and reduce operational expenses.
These are some of the key items I discuss with my clients when going through mergers or looking to buyout a company.
