Owner Financing is Available!
Business Overview:
Specializing in the sale of unique and hard-to-find, non-proprietary, purchased products and supplies to a diverse customer base ranging from small bicycle and home shops to Boeing Industries and the federal government as well as an increasing international clientele through a single website, this internet retailer offers lots of advantages over a traditional storefront operation.
Many items are direct-shipped from the supplier or are special orders, so there is a very small investment and risk in inventory. Similarly, the investment and risk in accounts receivable is also reduced through the utilization of electronic payment via credit cards and / or PayPal. Customer concentration is not an issue either as no single customer among the hundreds so far in 2011, represents more than 5% of total revenues.
Originally founded as a brick and mortar business in 1983, the company has transformed to meet the demands of the competitive marketplace while serving their customers. The internet store was first created in 1999 and then in 2008 was re-designed and expanded to its current capabilities.

Property Features and Assets:
Owner currently works from a home office so it is expected that a new owner would do the same.
Market Competition and Expansion:
Several large retailers supply the high volume, standard products and supplies which are common and widely understood with regard to application and operation. Knowing the unique and hard-to-find products and supplies and providing them quickly at a competitive price point is the difference.
To build future revenues, continue to add products to the website that are representative of the company niche so “pay-for-click” ads bring shoppers to additional “landing pages” where customers can order directly from the website. Additionally, there are completely new product lines that could be marketed via the website which the Seller can explain in detail.
Reason for Selling:
Retirement
Additional Details:
