Buying an eCommerce Business

Online shopping was a game-changer not only for consumers but also for business owners.

The Internet has made it possible for almost anyone to become a store owner. No need to own brick and mortar, the storefront appears online and inventory is often handled by a third-party provider.

This is the appeal of owning an eCommerce store. The reach of your business surpasses any one location and opens up the possibility of working from anywhere in the world.

Starting from nothing means you have to source the products, build the store, and find somewhere to store and deliver the products, but. When you buy an eCommerce store you get to skip these steps. You buy into a business that has already been built and is generating sales.

Our eCommerce marketplace only displays businesses that meet our minimum earnings requirements and has six months of earning history, so you’ll be buying a business that earns you money from day one.

How to Buy an eCommerce Business

eCommerce is a popular monetization for online business which means the marketplace can get pretty busy with listings.

To help you navigate around the listings, we have filter functions that can help you to only display listings that meet your buying criteria. Signing up for an account will allow you to make full use of these filter features.

Arranging the results by feature, such as creation date, monthly net profit, and listing price makes outlining potential targets a lot easier. With a registered account, you can save any potential targets to your watchlist so you can keep track of the businesses you’re interested in.

Diving into the listings will give you a good overview of the business. This is where you can find out about how the store is built and how it’s run. Unlocking a listing will reveal more specific details about the business.

With everything revealed, you still might have one or two questions. Feel free to set up a call with one of our sales team members or arrange a call with the seller. They should be able to answer any questions and help you decide if it’s the business for you.

If everything looks good then you can go ahead and buy the eCommerce business.

What to Look For

Take a look at the listing description to get an overview of the business.

This will tell you about how the business is run and how inventory is managed. It will also give you information about how the storefront is built.

As with any store, there’s a chain of operations. Perhaps you can spot a way you can streamline the process. Creating a more efficient process will not only make things easier but could help to cut unnecessary costs.

Some buyers look for a business to fix up and sell on for a profit. Others want something they can run hands-off and collect the profit. If you’re looking for a hands-off type of business, we include a “work and skills” required section which tells you the work the current owner puts in.

Whatever you’re looking for, make sure to check back to our eCommerce marketplace regularly to find the business for you.
