The business operates in the lawn and garden equipment industry, focusing on selling an aftermarket replacement product with a high-profit margin. This item, suitable for a tool no longer in production, continues to meet customer demand, showcased by its 4.9-star Amazon seller rating over four years, maintaining perfect account health. The product is lightweight, bringing an impressive 85% gross profit, manageable enough to store at home, and typically requires less than two hours a month for basic upkeep and customer interactions. Although no formal marketing has been conducted, customers find this product mainly through Amazon and search engines, predominantly coming from the US and Canada.
Financially, sales peak in May and are consistently robust throughout the summer, declining gradually towards January. In 2023, the business achieved $51,000 in Amazon payouts, after all platform fees but excluding the product's cost. The product costs represent about 15% of the sales price. With the opportunity to leverage an existing US trademarked brand and Amazon Brand Registry, potential avenues for growth include marketing campaigns, creating a direct sales website, and listing on other platforms.
The business is free of debt, with no legal claims, and is fully compliant with state filings and taxes. The owner, the sole employee, plans to sell the business to pursue a non-ecommerce interest, seeking a cash buyer without offering financing. Included in the sale are the web domain and a retail inventory valued at approximately $40,000.
