This e-commerce business operates in the fashion niche, offering a curated range of men’s and women’s apparel through its Shopify store. The business uses a supplier-fulfilled dropshipping model, eliminating the need to hold or manage inventory. Key strengths include healthy net profit margins, established Google Ads performance, low overhead, and a streamlined operating structure. Customer acquisition is primarily driven by Google Ads, with campaigns monitored and optimized through creative testing, audience targeting, and ongoing performance analysis. Suppliers based in China manage inventory storage, fulfillment, shipping, customs clearance, and import VAT, meaning the business does not hold physical inventory or manage logistics internally. The business is owned and operated by a micro-private equity company with a shared team across its portfolio; the seller estimates 15–20 hours per week are spent on oversight, reporting, and optimization across marketing, customer support, and Shopify administration (apps, theme updates, tracking, and troubleshooting). No employees are dedicated exclusively to the brand, but an estimated cost has been added to the P&L. Marketing and operations support can continue post-sale if desired, and the seller is offering 90 days of transition support. Disclaimer: The seller does not charge VAT on sales, as the supplier acts as the importer of record and pays import VAT when products are imported, with this cost included in the landed product cost.

Transition

Seller supportThe seller is willing to offer 90 days of support to the new owner via email, WhatsApp, online calls, phone calls, and in person where possible. The seller also indicated a willingness to provide ongoing support after the initial 90-day period.

Reason for saleThe Seller would like to explore other opportunities.
