Business Succession / M&A Listing: Profitable Goods EC Business with ¥2M Monthly Sales, Nearly ¥400K Operating Profit, and Strong Room for Growth

KantoECサイト雑貨小売
Business description
[Business Overview and Status] - Products are smartphone cases, Apple Watch bands, and PC cases - Basically a dropship model with no inventory, purchasing from Chinese EC shops and shipping directly to customers, though some inventory is held (inventory value approx. ¥700,000) - The only customer acquisition channel is Google Ads - Two homemaker contractors handle order processing for about 1-2 hours a day; the owner has almost no involvement other than the monthly accounting close on Freee. However, once a year when a new iPhone model is released, the contractors' working hours need to be increased for SKU addition work. Business status: - Monthly sales at the end of March 2022 were approx. ¥1.7 million, with operating profit of approx. ¥350,000 (operating profit requires close review as it is before the financial close, but there should be no major variance) - Since opening in June 2020, sales were ¥1.1 million around April to June 2021, but after adding the Apple Watch band and PC case categories late last year, sales increased significantly - The cost ratio is approx. 34%. Purchase unit prices are trending slightly upward, but the cost ratio is trending downward due to recent price increases Asking price: Around ¥10 million (including approx. ¥700,000 in inventory). *Estimated as roughly 30 months of recent monthly operating profit, but negotiable [Reason for Sale] We want to invest in another business, but we are somewhat short on cash. [Appeal as an Investment Listing] - Since it runs simply by letting Google Ads operate on autopilot with no need to run special campaigns, and normal operations run without owner involvement, it can be expected to function as a vending-machine-like cash machine - Room for sales growth by creating customer acquisition channels other than Google Ads - SNS acquisition, influencer acquisition, etc. (There is an Instagram account, but it exists only to give an appearance of activity and is not properly managed. Looking at competitors, many seem to acquire customers mainly through Instagram. Note that in the past, an influencer who featured us on their own initiative, not as a paid deal, generated about ¥500,000 worth of sales, so we believe there is room to leverage this. We also have ideas on how to utilize influencers.) - Use of paid media such as listing ads and FB/IG ads - Note that even with Google Ads, an amateur like myself simply set up a Smart Shopping campaign and left it running, so there should be room for improvement by someone skilled in web marketing (changing budget allocation based on profit, CVR, and ROAS per product, etc. Currently it just runs on autopilot with Google set to a "maximize sales" goal.) - Though I have never seriously considered it, opening a store on Rakuten and the like could also be a possibility - Room for sales growth by adding categories - Horizontal expansion of a low-operation-load, no-inventory business model using Shopify and Shopify apps - There is an app that lets you easily start no-inventory sales on Shopify, but very few companies in Japan use it. It is a model that does not require cumbersome product photography or SKU setup, and about 15 SKUs per product can be set up in about 10-15 minutes of work, so it can be expanded to other categories as long as resources are secured * We have insights on which categories would work and can share them * We would like you to avoid the accessory and bag categories only, to prevent competition with our company's other shops

Business overview
【事業概要と概況】 ・商材はスマホケース・AppleWatchバンド・PCケース ・基本は中国のECショップから仕入れて顧客直送の無在庫モデルだが、一部有在庫(在庫金額約70万円) ・集客経路はGoogle広告のみ ・従業員は一日1-2時間程度受発注業務を行う業務委託の主婦が2人、経営者の関与は毎月のFreeeでの経理締め以外にほぼなし。但し、年一回のiPhone新モデル発売時にはSKU追加作業のため業務委託の稼働時間を追加する必要あり 業況: ・22年3月末の月間売上高は約170万円、営業利益約35万円(営利は決算前のため要精査ですが大きなブレはないかと) ・20年6月のオープン以降、21年4月~6月頃は売上110万円でしたが、昨年末以降にAppleWatchバンドとPCケースをカテゴリ追加し、大幅に売上増しました ・原価率は約34%です。仕入単価はやや上昇傾向にありますが、直近値上げにより原価率は減少傾向です 希望売却価格:1,000万円前後(在庫約70万円含む)※直近の月営利×30ヶ月相当として想定しておりますが、応相談です 【売却理由】他事業に投資を行いたいのですが、ややキャッシュ不足のためです 【投資案件としての魅力】 ・Google広告を放置で回すだけで特にキャンペーンなど打つ必要もなく、経営者の関与なく通常業務が回るので、自動販売機的なキャッシュマシン機能を期待可能 ・Google広告以外の集客チャネルを作ることによる売上拡大余地 -SNS集客・インフルエンサー集客など(インスタアカウントは一応ありますが、「やってる感」を出すためであり、きちんと運用していません。競合を見るに、インスタ中心で集客しているところも多そうです。なお、インフルエンサーは過去に案件ではなく勝手に取り上げてくれた人が約50万円分の売上効果を作ってくれるなど、テコ入れ余地あると考えています。インフルエンサー活用についてはやり方についてのアイディアもあります) -リスティングやFB/IG広告などのペイド媒体の活用 -なお、Google広告もスマートショッピングキャンペーンというキャンペーンを素人の私が設定して放置で回しているだけなので、WEBマーケに長けた人による改善余地はあると思われます(商品ごとの利益・CVR・ROASを見た上で予算配分を変えるなど。現在はGoogleが「売上最大化」を目標にお任せで回しているだけです) -これは真面目に検討したことがありませんが、楽天などへの出店も可能性としてはあり得ると思います ・カテゴリ追加による売上拡大余地 ・ShopifyとShopifyアプリを活用した低オペレーション負荷での無在庫ビジネスモデルの横展開 -Shopifyで簡単に無在庫販売を開始できるアプリがあるのですが、日本で使っている会社が非常に少ないです。煩雑な商品撮影やSKU設定等が不要で、1商品15SKUほどを約10-15分の作業で行うことができるモデルですので、リソースさえ確保すれば他カテゴリにも展開可能です ※どのようなカテゴリならいけるか、について示唆を持っていますのでお伝え可能です ※アクセサリー・バッグカテゴリのみは、弊社他ショップとの競合避止の観点から避けて頂きたいと思います
