Operating within $8 Billion Halloween Industry in USA, Costumes4less.com is THE online shopping place for all costumes - all brands. Infrastructure is in place.
The business, an online costume retailer, is up for sale, excluding the ownership of the overarching corporation which will remain with the current owner. The assets included in the sale are several domain names, trademarks, supplier accounts, inventory valued at approximately $4,800, an ASP.net-based platform hosted on AWS, and access to various established marketing and analytics accounts. However, there is no guarantee provided, with risks involving software issues, potential revenue shortfalls, supplier and marketplace account changes, and the possibility of the business not being profitable.
The business is currently valued based on the domains and associated digital assets rather than any revenue or profit multiples. Details of the business's financial performance from 2020 and 2021 are shared, depicting notable figures such as website and marketplace sales and net profit. 2018 data is mentioned to offer insights into seasonality and margins but is provided as reference only due to the absence of audited records.
The buyer will receive all digital assets, unsold inventory, account credentials, and a 30-day consultation period with the current owner. No prior detailed due diligence will occur before purchase. Prospective buyers can engage in a screen-sharing session to review the business's assets before purchase. Once payment is made, all relevant documents and account details are transferred, and the owner is available for guidance during the first 30 days. The seller expresses willingness to maintain involvement or support the buyer beyond this period under flexible terms if needed.
