Selling 25% stake in a 27 Year old drop-shipping business with 2 Websites running since 1997 & 2004 in Ultrasonic Niche & have been profitable for almost 30 yea
An anonymous commercial entity is offering a 25% stake in a niche ultrasonic cleaning business that has been operational since the late 1990s and early 2000s. The business comprises two websites managed by an expert virtual assistant, making it a largely automated e-commerce operation with quarterly profit distributions for stakeholders. The business stocks approximately 700 SKUs, including ultrasonic cleaning machines and solutions for various equipment. Orders are processed via email and phone, and operations are supported by platforms on Shopify and Bigcommerce.
Primarily serving B2B clients, the business boasts a robust customer base, including notable contractors. A significant customer email list facilitates marketing opportunities, although current strategies are primarily SEO-focused due to limited resources. This approach has sustained long-term client relationships, complemented by an eBay store presence.
Partnerships exist with seven established suppliers, providing potential for expanding product lines. Over the past year, the business generated revenues exceeding $225,000, maintaining profitability over nearly three decades, though conversion rates remain low due to phone-based orders. Inventory valued at over $5,000 will be proportionally owned post-sale.
Opportunities for growth include enhancing marketing efforts through new platforms like YouTube and social media advertising, introducing new products, boosting SEO, and leveraging the existing eBay store. The offer is ideal for those seeking a passive income stream, managed by a virtual assistant. The sale is motivated by the current owner’s personal financial needs. Interested parties can request access to financial dashboards and analytics for further insight.
