This target is a Branded eCommerce Retailer in the School Supplies Sector, also catering to Art supplies and Office supplies verticals, with related cross-sold SKUs across a wide range of branded products ranging from binders and folders to coloring books, notebooks, puzzles, and much more. This well-diversified, primarily consumables-based Internet Retailer provides over 150 SKUs of high quality & innovative products coupled with superb customer service to an evergreen segment – it currently sees a $17 average ticket value, and also maintains well-above segment average margins of 41% with consistent YOY growth to boot.
This company rests firmly upon a highly repeat customer base (over 30%) in an annually stable market, and wisely utilizes 100% Amazon FBA fulfillment to ensure management and ownership are free to pursue nothing but growth. This freedom roughs this out to be a turn-key opportunity featuring low overhead needs and very little time to operate now that all of the hard work has been done. With such simple operations on the back end, a high level of automation and truly minimal OPEX, this platform can easily be relocated and operated by anyone, anywhere in the world.
And a very important value proposition for this company is that it has clean books and records, so a qualified buyer could potentially acquire this business for as little as 10% down through Website Closers’ Lending Partners – which allow for 10 year amortization and market-competitive interest rates. That’s right – a $130,000 down payment for a company generating over $300,000 in earnings – when combined with the immediate cash flow surge that comes with not having to buy inventory for the first couple of months, the $130,000 injected into the company can be back in a buyer’s hands easily in less than 6 months, if not much sooner.
Yet to tap into international markets, this US retailer is ready for global expansion by way of Amazon.com and its massive growth trends in the EU/UK marketplace – any market is a potential new target with the power of Amazon. Additionally, US domestic big box retail shelves are a ripe opportunity right alongside wholesaling and B2B account sales opportunities at home and abroad. This is an outstanding branded opportunity that includes a five-star Amazon seller central account with FBA fulfillment, catering to a repeat buyer demographic in an almost entirely consumables vertical – the value proposition here is clear, and this deal is certain to go under contract rapidly.
