An established online business specializing in the sale of E-liquids, vape hardware, and related accessories is for sale. It has generated over $21,000 in sales within the first three months, split between its website and an eBay account. The niche market is rapidly growing, offering a promising opportunity for expansion. The business launched in late 2014 and has fostered strong relationships with several premium E-liquid brands and top hardware manufacturers. Sales could be further increased through additional partnerships.
Current profit margins are substantial, with E-liquid products marked up by 100%, yielding a 50% gross margin. Hardware margins range between 25-50%, depending on the product type. The business benefits from significant web traffic generated through key backlinks and a strong social media presence. Assets included in the sale encompass an established website on the Shopify platform, an eBay account, and social media profiles on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and a Tumblr blog, alongside a customer email list of over 500 contacts. The business's current inventory is valued at approximately $2,500.
The sale includes a 60-day assistance period post-transaction to ensure a seamless transition, including setting up with suppliers and transferring business ownership. The reason behind the sale is the dissolution of a partnership between the current owners. Despite the business’s potential and value, the decision to sell was made to pursue new endeavors independently. The current owners aim to ensure the business continues successfully under new ownership.
