An ecommerce store, specializing in handmade baby mobiles, benefits from in-house manufacturing in Belgium, enabling competitive pricing on quality products. The business primarily operates through an online platform and various marketplaces, expanding its reach across diverse sales channels. While online sales data is visible through the platform, the company's revenue is bolstered by sales through approximately 30 physical stores in Belgium and France. The business enjoys high profit margins thanks to direct relationships with manufacturers, boasting average margins of 2.5 times for business-to-business (B2B) sales and 6 times for business-to-consumer (B2C) transactions.
A considerable investment in search engine optimization has allowed the company to attract significant organic traffic without incurring additional marketing costs. The current inventory is valued at approximately 18,000 EUR and is available for purchase. As part of a potential acquisition, the buyer would gain control of the web store and secure a manufacturing contract, ensuring the production of mobiles at the same price for a minimum of three years. While B2B sales to retail stores are not covered under the proposed sale due to the need for a local representative, there is an opportunity for buyers based in Belgium to take over these operations as well.
