Sales have declined because of an intended sale agreement in December, which led to fewer stock orders, affecting performance. The business primarily serves UK customers since 90% originate from there. It requires a UK-based buyer due to stockholding reasons. The inventory involves direct purchases from American and Polish suppliers, with additional stock from UK providers. Space equivalent to a single garage is necessary for product storage.
The business requires daily management of 1-2 hours to fulfill orders. The website operates on the Magento 2 platform with customized features. Further, an ongoing content strategy includes monthly written pieces, with potential for design updates if a sale doesn't occur. The sale is motivated by personal circumstances and focus on a different business in sports equipment. Post-pandemic, sales increased, though variance existed due to verification issues and international shipping complexities. Support will be offered post-sale for a smooth transition. Potential buyers are invited to verify stock and discuss the process further.
