2 year old E-commerce business in the health & beauty niche. Amazon's Choice in UK & US. Working w/ UK's #1 teleshopping channel & history w/ Lloyds Pharmacy.
The business operates as an e-commerce retailer focusing on the health and beauty sector, primarily using Shopify and Amazon for sales, with significant reach in both the UK and US markets. The operations are streamlined, involving minimal management hours from the three business partners who own the company. The workforce includes customer service operatives, a freelance video editor, a full-time media buyer, and a warehouse operative managing order fulfilment. The business has built strong relationships with suppliers in China for its trademarked Smartbud® products and engages with marketing through Facebook, Instagram, and Google ads, leaving room for expansion on platforms like TikTok and YouTube. The business profits from a direct shipping model, using a warehouse in Essex, which keeps operational costs low and ensures reliable delivery to customers. Financially, the company has shown impressive performance since its inception in 2021, achieving £2.1 million in revenue in 2022 and £1.77 million from January to October 2023, with a profit margin of 20%. A loyal customer base in the US and UK presents expansion opportunities in Europe, Australia, and Canada. Despite the business's success and potential for further growth, the current owners wish to sell due to their focus shifting to other projects. The business has the infrastructure and relationships in place for a smooth transfer to a new owner, who could further develop it by exploring untapped markets and sales channels.
