πŸ’° Asking Price: $1,080,000

The high-quality products are offered at a perfect price point for consumers, and the brand has recently undergone a facelift with uniquely beautiful, rebranded packaging and design. With high margins and an enormous customer base, it presents an excellent opportunity for a DTC or Amazon expert to scale tremendously post-acquisition.

However, no expertise is necessary – a first time buyer would also be well-positioned in this offering since current ownership is excited to transition to business to new ownership and will ensure that the new owner is in a great position to succeed after closing.

Type: eCom

βœ… Key Highlights

  • Cash Flow - $286,696

  • EBITDA - $287,696

  • $30 AOV

  • 41% Repeat Order Rate

πŸš€ Growth Opportunities

  • Retail: I’d focus on getting product into more retail store as soon as possible. Core focus being how can you slowly look at improving your numbers on retail vs ecom only. The more outreach the higher your chances of getting into retail stores.

  • Content: With such a low AOV the opportunity to gift product to creators is great. Start gifting product to creators in return for posting video about them on TikTok/Instagram and using it on Ads.

🚩 Cons

  • Competitive Market and Brand Differentiation: The teeth-whitening market can be competitive, with numerous brands vying for consumers' attention. While the business has achieved impressive results, sustaining and growing in a competitive market requires continuous innovation and strong brand differentiation. Keeping up with changing consumer preferences, developing unique value propositions, and staying ahead of trends can be challenging and resource-intensive. Especially with a product that’s dependent on visual results.

πŸ’° Asking Price: $930,000

Type: Service

βœ… Key Highlights

  • Cash Flow of $311,727

  • Over 50 Years in Business

  • Long term clients + Steady growth

  • No debt in the business, all bootstrapped.

πŸš€ Growth Opportunities

  • Strategic Partnerships and Networking: Building strategic partnerships with local businesses, organizations, and even nearby franchises can lead to mutually beneficial collaborations. For instance, partnering with local event planners, real estate agencies, or schools can provide a steady stream of printing and marketing projects. Additionally, attending industry events, trade shows, and networking sessions can help the business connect with potential clients and establish itself as a reliable solution provider in the community.

  • Upselling and Cross-Selling: The existing customer base presents an opportunity for upselling and cross-selling. Engaging with current clients to understand their evolving needs and suggesting complementary services can increase the average transaction value. For instance, if a client regularly orders business cards, offering them brochure design or direct mail services can lead to increased revenue per client. These growth opportunities can help you leverage the business's strong foundation and take it to new heights.

πŸ’° Asking Price: $600,000

  • $300,000 in TTM revenue

  • $230,000 in TTM profit

  • $23,000 in revenue last month

  • $17,400 in profit last month

πŸš€ Growth Opportunities

  • Develop Free Tools and New Services: Expand your offerings by creating free tools that provide value to your target audience. These tools could be related to lead generation, email outreach, or other aspects of the B2B marketing process. This not only attracts more visitors to your site but also positions your brand as a valuable resource.

  • Explore Paid Ads and Social Selling: While organic traffic is strong, consider complementing it with targeted paid advertising. Platforms like Quora and Reddit offer opportunities to engage with a niche audience through answering questions and providing valuable advice. This strategy can drive both top-of-funnel awareness and middle-of-the-funnel engagement. Social selling through platforms like LinkedIn can also help in connecting directly with potential clients, building relationships, and expanding the network.
