A complete business is available for sale, involving ownership of a watch company, established in 2010, which includes two successful online websites. The business initially grossed over $100,000 in its first year, with a strong customer base generated through search engine traffic focused on specific keywords related to watches. The business maintains a notable presence on social media, including over 6,000 followers on its Facebook page and associated Twitter account, which will be transferred to the buyer.
The sale includes inventory, consisting of over 10,000 watches, with the buyer responsible for shipping costs. The current owners operate the business part-time, dedicating less than 15 hours per week to download and ship orders. The business thrives solely on search engine traffic for marketing, suggesting potential growth through increased advertising and social media activity.
The motivation for the sale stems from the owners' limited time to manage and expand the business. Assistance with training and business operations will be provided to the new owner, making it a suitable opportunity for managing from home or a small office.
Financially, the business reported verified gross sales of $103,642 in 2010, with 2011 sales reaching $94,000, though tax documentation for 2011 is not yet prepared. The busiest periods for sales typically occur during summer and Christmas, with a noted increase in traffic from Facebook Ads. Detailed tracking metrics are available through recent Google Analytics reports. The transaction includes a commitment to help ensure a smooth transition for the new owner.
