Here at Website Closers, we have seen a significant increase in the number of Amazon FBA businesses going up for sale. The good news, however, for sellers is that there is an increasing number of buyers who recognize the potential with owning an Amazon FBA business.

Our History with Amazon

We have been extremely busy dealing with a huge growth and requests from Amazon business sellers who have built their company to a successful point and are now thinking about leaving it and passing it on to another owner. This trend is not just limited to Website Closers either. Plenty of people across the online business brokers space have found that Amazon FBA businesses have become so popular that many people are specifically seeking out purchasing this type of company. In previous years, any influx of sellers from one category or specific niche of businesses has actually been a problem that most people are exiting the marketplace because they see bad changes ahead. However, that’s unlikely the case when it comes to valuation with Amazon businesses. Many Amazon FBA businesses were established several years ago, which means that many of the sellers needed time to establish a firm and solid business and to leverage all of their data points and profit enhancements to get to the point where they are at now to be able to sell it.

These Amazon FBA businesses might have started out small but have become very popular and a source of a consistent stream of revenue, making it the ideal time to sell.

This is part of the reason why so many Amazon FBA businesses have come up for sale in the last three years alone. Another major reason why Amazon FBA businesses have cropped up on our site in such significant numbers has to do with the fact that many other e-commerce stores have now expanded to have Amazon component. Over a quarter of Amazon sellers also have an online store. While plenty of Amazon sellers will stay on that marketplace alone, others are branching out and generate their own traffic and value in niche websites. Another reason that Amazon is so popular is because the seller growth has been consistent.

The marketplace has grown so much that billions of items have been sold through the site. Sellers are becoming an increasingly important component of how Amazon does business because these sellers can capitalize on the fact that Amazon generates a significant amount of traffic and has earned the trust of people who purchase from the website on a regular basis.

This means that a new Amazon FBA seller can jump in to even a competitive niche and might still have the opportunity to be successful. It is important to remember that after you have optimized your business as much as possible, you might consider selling on your own. Scheduling a consultation with an experience website broker could be the first step in assisting you with listing your company for sale.
