OK, so assuming your current offer is 5-6 mil...

This months net profits - 160k If you can sustain your 100%+ growth monthly for the next 6 months, you could hit a huge monthly profits number. Even with 50% growth, your monthly profits would be over a million with that kind of growth.

Which makes your current offer very low, this is why with that kind of growth people get huge multiples.

Why level off? Is it because of resources (lack of) that'll limit growth, or something about the market you're in? That may have a factor in the price you could ask for.

No, simply because it's seasonal.
