Buying an Amazon FBM Business

An Amazon fulfilled by merchant (FBM) business model allows you to sell on Amazon but arrange the fulfillment method yourself.

This can give you more control over inventory storage and more choice when it comes to fulfillment. Greater choice lets you shop around to find the best suppliers. To the shrewd buyer, Amazon FBM represents an opportunity to lower the costs of running an Amazon business.

Couple this benefit with the ability to sell your products on the Amazon marketplace, and Amazon FBM becomes an exciting business model.

What to Look For

The Amazon FBM business model is flexible, making it easy to combine it with other sources of monetization to increase your revenue.

We often see Amazon FBM and e-commerce working together, as owning the method of fulfillment makes it easier to control stock by consolidating it in a single location. This idea for expansion could help increase the revenue and valuation of a newly acquired asset.

The “opportunities” section of the listing is a good place to identify what improvements can be made. Buyers often look to diversify a business’s income. Opportunities for expansion include creating a website to leverage search engine optimization, building an email list, and running pay-per-click advertising.

Using these tactics to great effect, or employing someone who can, has the potential to speed up your return on investment. Income diversification also makes the asset more appealing to most buyers, meaning you could later sell it for a profit.

Keep all this in mind when browsing our Amazon FBM marketplace, and you might find an opportunity you can’t refuse.
