The business offered is an Amazon FBA eCommerce store focused on coffee and hot chocolate, operating within an evergreen vertical market. It primarily generates revenue through direct sales on Amazon, utilizing the Amazon FBA platform to streamline operations. The business benefits from strong product margins and a high rate of repeat customers, facilitated by minimal, all-natural ingredients in its products. Daily operations require limited involvement, primarily consisting of customer inquiries, stock level monitoring, and advertising review, estimated at about 1-2 hours daily. Product manufacturing is done in-house, and the items are stored in a warehouse before being shipped to Amazon fulfillment centers. The lack of employees or contractors ensures streamlined operations, with significant transition support offered by the current owners.
Financially, the business experiences steady year-round sales with notable increases from September to March due to holidays and colder weather in the United States. Despite a minor decline in 2020 from pandemic-related supply chain issues, the business has shown growth in subsequent years. Opportunities for further expansion include enhanced advertising and marketing efforts, leveraging successful grassroots campaigns, and potential price increases given the competitive market landscape and product quality.
The sale includes all trademarks, copyrights, digital assets, and online properties. The reason for the sale is partially due to the retirement of the senior partner, with remaining partners opting to focus on expanding the manufacturing and private label aspects of the business. The current owners are willing to provide ongoing consultancy and support during the transition.
