A six-year-old ecommerce business is generating $37,500 per month. Nine months ago, the company transitioned to a new Shopify platform, significantly enhancing the user experience. Currently, the business's marketing efforts are concentrated in Italy, although the website has been translated into English and German to explore additional markets. There is potential to add more languages in the future to further diversify the audience. The email marketing list comprises over 27,000 customers and continues to grow due to promotional efforts linked to the newsletter sign-ups.
The company has established a partnership with a leading dropshipping enterprise in Italy, accessing inventory worth approximately €13 million. Products ship within 48 hours, maintaining a high standard within the market. Plans are in place to collaborate with another company of similar standing to expand inventory and enhance marketing budget efficiency and return on investment.
Increasing the marketing budget could potentially drive the business's annual turnover beyond €1 million, presenting a substantial opportunity for interested parties. The business boasts a profit margin of 33%, and is priced at a 2.8x multiple. Additional information and support are available to prospective buyers to facilitate a mutually beneficial transaction.
The founders have expertise in the fashion industry, operating three physical stores in Italy alongside two ecommerce ventures, with an annual turnover exceeding €1.5 million. They offer support to buyers who wish to engage directly with fashion brands, helping transition from dropshipping to holding physical inventory.
