After all, he holds 15 years of startup experience under his belt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The business owners resides in Cremorne, a mini version of Silicon Valley, an inner-city suburb in Melbourne, Australia, located just Southeast of Melbourne\u2019s Central Business District. Flippa is a neighbor right next door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just a few years ago, when the <a href=\"https:\/\/flippa.com\/blog\/online-business-ideas\/\">online business<\/a> space experienced a burgeoning swell of Amazon businesses coming to the forefront, Mark came across an ad on Facebook advertising Amazon FBA training and learned how to operate an <a href=\"#\">ecommerce business<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s when the idea for a designer wall clock company blossomed to an ecommerce store called Marksson. Soon, Mark found himself flying out to China to meet with suppliers. The business was a mid-range, affordable luxury sort segment where Mark could create something that looked high end, but priced somewhere in the middle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/flippa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16661\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flippa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image.png 1024w, https:\/\/flippa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image-980x551.png 980w, https:\/\/flippa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image-480x270.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>He set systems and processes in place until the business came to a position where it was running on autopilot. As his focus began shifting away, he knew it was time to find a new owner and place the business up for sale on Flippa. His digital and design agency business was taking up more of his time and Mark knew he couldn&#8217;t devote the attention that his business deserved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instantly, his listing received massive buzz on Flippa&#8217;s marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI really sort of put it on there just to gauge the market. It exceeded my expectations. It was pretty quick from then on,&#8221; says Mark. &#8220;The team from Flippa was really like a major help. It was kind of like a concierge service where the guys jump on and they give you all sorts of advice, whether it\u2019s optimizing the <a href=\"https:\/\/flippa.com\/blog\/how-to-optimize-your-amazon-listing\/\">listing<\/a>, or helping with valuation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>&#8220;The team from Flippa was really a major help.

At the time of sale, the business was a perfect springboard to expand into a D2C (direct-to-consumer) company where the new owner could build on the brand and introduce other home and office products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Marksson was bought, the 3-year old profitable Amazon FBA ecommerce business had a seller rating of 91%, and was sold along with brand assets, social media accounts, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marksson was listed in a 30-day auction and in just 1 week, the deal was closed and the business was sold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I was comfortable in the end having it sold on Flippa,&#8221; says Mark. &#8220;There&#8217;s so much opportunity that I feel like there&#8217;s a lot of talk around buying investment properties. But I feel like you can get the same benefit from the right assets online. You can jump on Flippa &#8212; there&#8217;s a lot of opportunity there.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>&#8220;There&#8217;s so much opportunity and a lot of talk around buying investment properties.
