The business in question offers an established eCommerce store specializing in GPS units and other products for truck drivers, which has been operational since 2008 and maintained high rankings on search engines. The order process is supported by drop ship distributors based in the U.S., meaning no physical inventory is required. Transfer of ownership includes the domain, current BigCommerce account with historical data, logo, website content, and introduction to distributors. The business is sold primarily due to the current owner’s inability to devote sufficient time while managing two businesses and a full-time job. Financially, the store recorded $75,809.65 in revenues in 2014, and $60,000 in 2015, with net profits of $20,378 and $13,811 respectively. The owner provides traffic largely through organic search without relying on pay-per-click advertising. The sale includes comprehensive support for 30 days post-transition, and the transaction will be managed through an escrow service. The sale package comprises domain transfer, BigCommerce access, customer and order databases, website content, and necessary introductions to the existing distribution network. The buyer must reside in the U.S. to engage with these distributors. The purchase transaction is facilitated through Escrow.com, with fees shared between buyer and seller, offering a secure method for asset transfer and payment. The previous owner will retain responsibility for pre-transfer orders and support the buyer post-transfer.
