20-Year Online Industrial Distributor
Business Description
Relocatable 20-year-old online distributor specializing in contamination testing supplies and industrial coatings, supported by a 12-year relationship with its primary supplier. The business could be operated remotely by hiring one shipping employee. The company has two suppliers—one for industrial coatings and one for testing supplies—and is the exclusive master distributor of the industrial coatings. The suppliers are aware of the potential transaction and want to continue working with the new owner.
Approximately 70% of revenue is generated through Amazon FBM (with a 698% ROAS and a 0.5% refund rate), 10% via the company’s website, and 20% from repeat B2B customers with blanket purchase orders. The company serves a customer database of about 5,000, mostly mechanical contractors, food service providers, facility maintenance firms, and various manufacturers, many of whom have not been remarketed to. No single customer accounts for more than 5% of revenue. Approximately 60% of sales come from previous customers. Since 2022, the company has maintained a $323 average order value, 60% gross margins, and $424K in average seller discretionary earnings (53% of revenue).
The seller has strategically chosen to personally fulfill orders for the testing supplies; however, both manufacturers can dropship. No more than 300 square feet is needed for inventory space. The business offers a curated group of 25 SKUs, with additional SKUs available to list as desired. There are 5–10 products shipped per day, and the company receives 5–6 customer calls per month. It is a relatively low?touch business with minimal customer interaction. Current lead time from manufacturers is 2–3 days from order. The website receives approximately 250 organic visitors per month, and the Amazon listings face only one competitor. Inventory and FF&E average about $30,000 each, making the business light and easy to relocate. The owner is selling due to retirement. The business is currently operated solely by the owner, who will train the new buyer and introduce them to all necessary supplier, vendor, and customer contacts. The business has been run by the owner's niece and other family members during vacations, demonstrating that the transition will be seamless. The seller is open to up to 25% seller financing.
