Profitable eCommerce with $2,095,655 in TTM revenue and $368,102 in TTM profit selling a variety of products within many popular categories including Home and Garden, Pet Products, Tools, Camping Gear, and more.
The products are generally useful and solve a problem, such as a toilet seat that can be placed over a five-gallon bucket. (It’s great for camping or outdoor adventuring!) The business utilizes a variety of marketplaces.

✅ Key Highlights
$2,095,655 in TTM revenue
$368,102 in TTM profit
$159,046 in revenue last month
$44,865 in profit last month
🚀 Growth Opportunities
Owned Brands: Try figure out marketing angles or bundles to promote your own brand. Assuming the margins are higher with owned brands you would see a greater lift MoM in profit margins if you started pushing your own brand.
Marketplace expansion: Focus on getting into new marketplaces similar to Lowes to help get more traction on the brand.
🚩 Cons
Founder: Founder is looking to retire so will be off-boarding straight away once business is sold. I would try to negotiate some type of deal where the founder stays on board to train you and help build any useful connections in the wholesale space.
💰 Asking Price: $1,200,000
This cleaning company which started in 2013 has excellent search engine presence in the Lake County and the surrounding areas.

$460,000 in EBITDA
$5,000 in FF&E
9% growth in the first quarter of the year
20 employees
🚀 Growth Opportunities
Airbnb: Build relationships with owners who own homes on Airbnb. Huge opportunity to message a bunch and become their cleaning partners and scale that service offering out in the business.
Owner is retiring and will ideally provide 30 days of in person training and any information on a written document around process for the business.
In Partnership With Foxwell Founders
Foxwell Founders is a community of some of the smartest marketers and operators in the world.
I personally am active in that group and often engage with other members whenever I have questions around finance, operations or marketing for businesses.
Foxwell Founders also provide monthly audits, expert discussions, small group masterminds and much more!
So, If you’re looking to upgrade your knowledge and also be surrounded by supportive operators who you can get direct access to and ask any question you want then I’d highly recommend talking to Andrew.
While I don’t have a discount code, if you’re looking for a deal on a Founders membership, Andrew told me to have you email him directly: [email protected] and because you're on my email list he'll hook you up
Feel free to email Andrew above and also read more about the Founders membership here

$8,679.00 in Monthly Profit
30% profit margin
Email List of 6500 subscribers

🚀 Growth Opportunities
Marketing: Test new landing pages based on the current ads that are live. Huge opportunity to increase conversion rate and maintain profitability from ads.
Agency: Start cold outreach to organic content agencies to get them to use this tool for their clients. Offer them a free trial or a kick back whenever they get you more clients on board.
🚩 Cons
Site Traffic: Curious why site traffic has drastically decreased this year vs last year. Seems like revenue has also dropped when you compare those metrics with site metrics.
