Established, seasonal web shop with growth potential
The company has built up a good reputation among business and private customers with high-quality gift articles.
The webshop has been present on the market for almost ten years and has grown steadily since its opening. The core business has a seasonal character and the webshop is only active for two months a year. The products sold are of high quality and come from local producers. The business appeals equally to corporate and private customers.
The shop is well established on the market and enjoys a satisfied regular clientele. The brand and the design with which the shop is present on the market are protected. The company can be operated independently of location. All structures have been trimmed for efficiency since the beginning. Many tasks have been outsourced to external service providers. The current owner is only involved full-time for two months, while the rest of the year there is no work. On average, this corresponds to slightly more than 20 job percent.
The webshop had a turnover of between CHF 300,000 and CHF 350,000 in each of the years 2019 to 2021, with an EBITDA margin of between 18% and 22%. The development potential is considerable: an additional brand and various products developed in-house are also part of the deal. There is the possibility of developing additional sales channels outside the core business, possibly even with a spin-off under the additionally developed brand.
The webshop was initially launched as a leisure project. Due to its rapid growth, it has taken on a volume that requires too much time resources for the owners in addition to their main activities. After the first, successful development phase and establishment in the Swiss online market, a successor is being sought who has the resources to use the solid basis and further expand the concept.
To buy and operate this business solid knowledge of the German language is a requirement. The entire sales process (documents, correspondence, negotiations, contracts, etc.) is conducted exclusively in German.
