Operations

The business runs on approximately 10 hours per week of founder involvement.

Meta Ads are managed daily by a dedicated media buyer. New products are launched every two weeks following a documented 4-6 week process covering supplier briefing, creative production, influencer seeding, and Klaviyo campaigns. Customer service, Shopify operations, and social media are handled by a VA.

All processes are fully documented in SOPs. The business is designed to operate without founder dependency from day one.

Customers

Customers are passion-driven collectors and enthusiasts, primarily in the US and across the EU. This is a passion niche where buyers are emotionally connected to the products. No industry knowledge is required to operate the business.

Product quality has always been a brand priority and customers consistently rave about what they receive, generating strong organic word of mouth and repeat purchases. Collectors naturally come back for more with every new product launch, creating a recurring revenue dynamic without a formal subscription model even being in place yet.

Launching a subscription offer represents one of the most immediately actionable untapped opportunities for a new owner.

The 150,000+ Klaviyo subscriber base adds further upside. Systematic email campaigns have not been deployed, meaning the new owner inherits immediate revenue potential at zero acquisition cost.

Financials

The business generated over $7M in revenue in 2025 with net margins between 15 and 25% depending on the month. Q4 was exceptional, $4M in a single quarter, driven by strong market demand and a superior product offer versus competitors.

The current opportunity exists because Q4 hypergrowth temporarily outpaced working capital infrastructure. Order volume surged faster than supplier fulfilment capacity, creating a short-term cash flow gap.

The situation has been fully addressed operationally. Two supplier contracts are now signed with DDP terms, fulfilment SLAs, and contractual penalty clauses. Outstanding liabilities of approximately $700k are fully structured across all creditors, with no legal disputes and repayment plans in place. Stripe remains fully operational as the primary payment processor.
