The hearing aid business, established in 2023, operates primarily through a well-known online retail platform, supplemented by a direct-to-consumer channel via its own website. The business has two active product listings: an over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aid, which is the core product, and a silicone earplug product designed for sensory-sensitivity, which is in the early stages of market testing. Typically requiring 5–10 hours per week to manage, the business can largely be operated via a mobile phone, making it suitable for an owner managing other commitments. The current owner is selling due to retirement.
Financially, the business generates annual revenues between $100,000 and $250,000, with gross margins of 10–25%. Revenue has intentionally been scaled back by the owner prior to a planned exit. Interested buyers will need to sign a non-disclosure agreement to access detailed financial records.
Operationally, the business is supported by a protected brand listing. The silicone earplug product offers growth potential for buyers interested in expanding this line. Some product ratings reflect quality issues from a past supplier, but new relationships with manufacturers could improve product quality and reorder rates. Customer support is managed through a dedicated portal, which will transfer to the new owner.
Transferable assets include the online retail platform account, domain and e-commerce store, customer support portal, existing inventory, trademarks, social media accounts, and connections with manufacturers. The business offers the potential buyer a low-maintenance opportunity in a healthcare-adjacent sector, with support available for a seamless transition.
