Launched in August 2021, this collection of three Amazon FBA businesses sells luxury beauty products including eye makeup, lipsticks, lip glosses, and concealer. The products have high demand, strong profit margins of 60%, and over 1,200 reviews with an average 4.5-star rating. The businesses are rare in that they have grown 100% organically. The next owner can take advantage of a solid foundation with 10 high-performing SKUs, a 20% repeat order rate, and plenty of inventory to get an immediate return on investment. The business is automated, requiring 2–4 hours per week to manage without needing employees. The current owner is an experienced Amazon FBA operator and is selling the business to concentrate fully on her medical studies. In January 2023, she activated “vacation mode” for the brands, effectively pausing sales and activities for a month. This step was necessary as she needed to devote her full attention to a series of challenging medical exams to ensure she could pass these crucial tests without compromising her educational progress and future medical career. The next owner can scale the business through advertising, adding new products through the existing supplier, cross-selling, and launching into direct-to-consumer sales.

Launched in 2019, this website has become one of the leading sources of travel tips and guides for London and has established itself as a go-to resource for nearly 7M readers over the last year. Built on a foundation of unique, in-depth, and practical content, the site has carved out a leading position in this sought-after, evergreen niche. The website has diversified revenue streams, with 66% coming from display advertising (Mediavine), 17% from affiliates, and 17% from direct ad sales and digital products. Links have built naturally since inception, with the site now holding a Domain Rating of 49 with 4.1K referring domains and 143K organic keywords. Operationally, the business is well organized, with one full-time writer and another social media manager that produce content for both channels. An editor and virtual assistant work part time overseeing content and scheduling posts. All processes are fully documented and scheduled each week, meaning the owner spends only 5–10 hours per week on the site reviewing the content strategy (of which there is over a year's worth of pipeline ideas). For direct ad sales, an external sales team brings in advertising partners on commission and has secured deals with several well-known international brands. Going forward, there are significant opportunities to grow the business by following the content pipeline provided, building out affiliate revenues (particularly via Booking.com), leveraging Google News traffic, expanding on social media (currently 35K across all channels), creating more digital products, and focusing on long-term packages with the current advertising partners. The owner is looking to sell to continue working on her main website, which has also grown substantially in the last two years and requires more of her time to manage.

If you’ve ever wanted to own an Amazon FBA business but could not afford some of the larger listings, this is an awesome opportunity to own a Brand Registered, established, profitable, private-label brand for under $100,000. The business was created to promote a four-SKU lineup of diversion safes and fireproof products for homeowners and businesses. Started in 2018, the company’s products and accessories are carefully designed to deliver the highest level of form and function at competitive prices, as evidenced by their 3,000 reviews with an average 4.7-star rating. They’ve spent months opening up their UK Seller Central account and are finally live (and product has been shipped). This is an immediate growth avenue, along with adding niche-related SKUs to their current lineup (several of which the owner has sourced and received samples of and quotes for), adding additional variants to their current SKUs, addressing their neglected Shopify site and social media presence, and branching into other online sales channels (they’ve received orders from Faire and small-to-medium-sized businesses). The right buyer could be a first-time buyer who’s always wanted to get into Amazon FBA, or it could be an experienced FBA operator who recognizes the value of the brand and optimized listings. The owners have several other brands that have consumed the majority of their time and feel the right new owner can give this brand the attention it deserves and take it to new levels.

Created in September 2009, this 14-year-old company provides sports-betting picks, handicapping services, and recommendations for those wagering on sports. They offer analysis across a wide range of sports, including football, basketball, baseball, hockey, and golf, seven days per week, and provide individual game picks and packages with promotions as low as $49 and up to $300,000. They’ve spent years building their brand through digital marketing to build up the presence and allure of one of their radio talents, who would like to continue with a new owner. They drive leads to the website through radio advertising and have a unique and proprietary onboarding operation setup with their Canadian office. Major growth opportunities would capitalize on the branding and strategy that’s been cultivated over 14 years. They include 1) advertising more heavily on radio, podcasts, and satellite radio and building out a full-time sales floor to both take calls and work through the cold-call lists they have, 2) ramping up internet advertising, 3) acquiring other handicapping services, 4) shooting television commercials, and 5) tapping into their database of over 1,600,000 contacts, most of which they have email addresses for but have not actively sent emails to. The owner sold an 11-year-old, unrelated business earlier this year through Quiet Light and is looking to exit this business and start the next chapter of his life. He feels the business has tremendous potential with a newly energized buyer.

While attempting to sail their 39-foot boat through the Arctic Northwest Passage, this pair of friends decided to try their hand at ecommerce. Starting individually at first (and failing), they decided to partner in 2020 and launch something together. In October of that year, they launched this drop-shipping business that focuses on large accessories for heavy-duty construction equipment. All 14 suppliers for this business are in North America. Many of them are not open to adding new ecommerce companies, which creates a nice moat for the business. Most of them offer incredible terms including net 30. All the suppliers and terms are transferrable to a new owner. The business has around 2,000 SKUs available on the website. Given it is a 100% drop-ship business, it is a huge benefit to have a lot of different items for sale. There are also expansion opportunities for a new owner who wants to add additional products to the catalog. Because the product is very expensive, there is a benefit to offering financing to customers. Through their financing partner, they are able to offer terms up to $250,000 to facilitate more sales and income for the business. The business has tremendous channel diversity in terms of traffic. 45% of the traffic comes from Google Ads, while 44% comes from organic traffic. The remaining traffic comes from direct and referral traffic. The sellers run the business. To maintain sales they need about 40 total hours of work per week. For this listing, we have subtracted $100,000 in earnings (see the add-back schedule) to allow a new owner to hire two people full time at $50,000 per year. This will allow the business to maintain current sales and even have some room for growth. They field about 5-10 calls per day. Because it's a large purchase they are only managing about 60-90 orders per month. The sellers are both professional airline pilots. One wants to resume flying full time while the other wants to pursue full-time bond trading.

First coming online in 2012, this Amazon FBA Home and Kitchen Accessory business is the creation of a lovely husband-and-wife team. The husband is a true designer and his popular creations take everyday products and add humor, beauty, and design sensibility. In a sea of generic ecommerce products, this business's products stand out from the crowd. There is a great opportunity to take the business to far greater heights. The owners are not traditional ecommerce operators, and there are new products ready to be launched and new sales channels that can be explored. Customers love the products as evidenced by the staying power of the brand and the great reviews (averaging 4.5 stars on Amazon). The products are extremely giftable and at a nice price point. There is a logical move to market the products on social media (Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, etc.) given the novel designs, visual appeal, and giftable nature of the products. Social media is not the current owners' forte, and they haven't explored this in earnest despite the clear opportunity. Why are the owners looking to sell? They have worked hard for many years and are closing in on retirement age. The husband is a designer at heart and not an ecommerce operator. He wants to focus more time on his passion for design. Also, in the past few months, each owner has sadly lost a parent. They both feel it is the right time to pass the torch to a new owner who can care for the brand in the coming years. This is a special business and has the potential to reach great heights with fresh ownership. Note this business is not SBA eligible.

Started in 2015, this trademarked FBA and Shopify baby brand makes multipurpose nontoxic baby feeding products. Most products are made in the US, and all items in this custom line are designed to be interchangeable and upcycle as the baby grows. This provides tremendous value to parents wanting simplicity and minimalism during a stage of life where clutter and quickly outgrowing items is the norm. Customers are fond of both the products and the mission of the brand as can be seen by the 2,800 reviews averaging 4.5 stars across sales channels and their returning-customer rate of around 30%. Currently, about 56% of sales come from Amazon, 43% come from Shopify, and 1% comes from wholesale, where Amazon is the strongest-growing channel. The brand has also been mentioned by CNN, Huff Post, and other media sources. There are currently around 35 total children SKUs, which are mostly variations from four main parent SKUs. Sales among the SKUs are diversified as the top five child SKUs account for about 50% of revenue. Additionally, these SKUs carry a strong gross margin, averaging 73%. The owner stepped away from day-to-day operations near the end of 2021 and currently works about 2 hours per week in an advisory role, as she is focusing her time on a larger business. The business has well-documented SOPs and is now run by a team of contractors; they have been handling everything for the last year and a half. There are still a number of growth opportunities, however, including greater investment into advertising (which was previously limited by the owner’s financial resources), new product development, further expansion into the currently serviced baby demographic, and offering products for the same customers as their babies age into becoming toddlers. This business is SBA eligible. There are up to $589K in assumable SBA loans available and the business has been pre-qualified for up to $300K with a new SBA loan. These two SBA options can’t be combined.

Launched in 2015, this online educational course and certification program business specifically focuses on high-end, comprehensive career training for the yoga teacher, modern mystic, and spiritual leader. Even though most of the business is currently centered on a singular proprietary yoga method and the content/certifications around it (which accounts for about 50% of revenue), certifications are also offered for teaching astrology, chakra therapeutic practices, and tarot reading. Note that this business focuses on teacher training in the space rather than providing online classes for students and that the custom-designed, trademarked yoga method is included in the sale. Differentiated by a level of comprehensive instruction and degree of accountability, customers of these programs have a completion rate that is 3–4x higher than the industry average. Plus, all programs are registered, compliant, and in good standing with the main yoga registration body. This has created a raving customer base with 500+ reviews averaging 4.6 stars; the average customer has a $546 LTV with the company. Roughly 50% of the website’s traffic comes from direct or organic sources according to Google Analytics, with the remaining traffic coming from Google Ads then email then paid social then other sources. The current owner works less than 5 hours per week as the business has been built with evergreen content, software that easily scales, and a team to run the operations. The team consists of a person who runs the day-to-day operations as well as several mentors to answer questions and serve as experts in different fields. A new owner, therefore, does not need to be an expert in the space. The company experienced a massive COVID bump due to demand increase in the space and has since dropped back down to pre-pandemic levels. However, both traffic and revenue has remained mostly steady for the past 12 months and the valuation does not consider this spike. Multiple growth opportunities still exist for a new buyer including greater marketing focus, adding in membership/subscriptions, building a community to monetize, expanding into related trainings both the current and new customer bases can use, and creating assets for these teachers that improve their business skills in addition to their yoga/spirituality education. Cash buyers will be prioritized. The business is SBA pre-qualified. Term sheet is provided with the rest of the business information.

Launched in 2021, this business generates revenue via biannual online summits for kindergarten through second-grade school teachers. Educators have found the virtual summits to be a convenient and cost-effective solution to stay up to date on their profession and also to complete necessary continuing professional development requirements. The business was started during COVID due to restrictions on meeting in person. The owners expected it to be a one-and-done event but demand has remained strong well after the end of the pandemic. The June 2023 event is expected to post the best revenue figures in company history. A new owner with the time and energy to dedicate to sales and marketing has the potential to unlock real growth. For instance, an email list of over 30,000 users has not been monetized beyond the summits. Further, multiple requests have come in for a summit for third- through fifth-grade teachers. A simple copy and paste of the current business model has the potential to create a significant revenue stream beyond the current K-2 summit. The business model is very attractive in that all the content is created by third-party educators. Participating in the summit is a win for these creators as it helps them build their personal brand while also receiving compensation as an affiliate for any sign-ups they drive. For the owners, this business model results in low-effort operations, high margins, and loyalty from both attendees and presenters. A background in education is not necessary for the future owner. A strong manager is in place now who handles most of the day-to-day operations. She has not yet been made aware of the potential exit, but the expectation is she would want to stay on under new ownership. The owners are nearing retirement age and ready to start simplifying their lives. They will be happy to provide for training and support to the new owner. Note: This business is not eligible for SBA financing.

Launched in Sept 2021, this agency focuses on helping its clients get exposure and backlinks on authoritative websites found on HARO (Help a Reporter Out). HARO connects journalists with sources for expert commentary and background information for news stories. The team members in this agency conduct outreach via LinkedIn and Upwork to bring on new clients interested in being featured in more stories with a backlink to their business. Rather than manually responding to reporter inquiries, this agency takes this work on for their clients and pitches to journalists, saving clients time while they get more exposure and backlinks. Pricing is based on each successful link generated for a client. The owner sold his first business with Quiet Light six years ago and is looking to sell this business now so that he can reinvest those funds into two YouTube channels and an ecommerce venture to grow these businesses.
