Online Shop Selling Eco Friendly Products

A small online business, selling a range of eco friendly products broadly spanning single-use plastic alternatives, natural beauty and hygiene products and organic/ fairtrade nightwear.

The business has been running for 8 years (2012), with year on year organic growth. Profitable from Year One, the Gross Profit is 33% (as of 2019 accounts) with minimal additional costs and low overheads. Drawings ‘wages’ for 2019 average at £1,700 per month.

Established brand and platform, with a strong presence on Instagram and Facebook. A 2,000+ engaged mailing list, and high readership of regular blog posts on topics concerning the environment.

A fantastic going concern for an individual who wants to make a modest income running a business from home part-time and/or with flexible working hours around family life. The business sits within a growth market, and with the right input will continue to grow organically with low risk.

There is also the potential to grow the business more rapidly, by taking on additional premises and expanding the product range. The unique eco gift sets, in particular, have shown strong demand, particularly with respect to the corporate gift market. The business is a prime position to be taken to the next level, with some fresh input.

The business has been a labour of love, but has reached a point at which the vendor is keen to focus on other ventures in the realm of conservation and the environment, and as such is marketed for sale. Vendor would include sufficient time for a full handover.
