Happy Wednesday peeps!

Here are the online businesses recently listed for sale that we’ve got today!

Online Drafting & Floor Plan Design – SDE $331K – Asking $1.25M – 3.8x

Listing Type (?): Solid!

This isn’t your typical online business—it’s a long-standing service business that operates remotely. With 30+ years in operation, a full-time team of 10, and the seller retiring, there are likely easy wins for a new owner.

The business has no active marketing efforts, yet it already generates over $1.2M in revenue. Where do the customers come from? That’s the key question. The seller is willing to carry 15% equity, signaling confidence in the business.

With digital marketing, potential software improvements, and operational refinement, this could scale quickly under the right owner.

eCommerce Brand – Woodworking Tools – SDE $206K – Asking $700K – 3.4x

Listing Type (?): Interesting Find

This drop ship eCommerce brand sells woodworking tools with 54 branded products and a $73 average order value. With 68% YOY growth and strong ROAS on social media, the fundamentals look promising.

The concern is margins. At less than 25%, it's below the ideal threshold for an eCommerce product. If gross margins are in the 40-50% range, but ad spend is high, there could be room for optimization. Holding inventory with a 3PL might also boost profitability.

For a buyer experienced with reducing cogs by holding inventory, this could be a scalable acquisition.

Ultra-Premium Dog Food Brand – SDE $214K – Asking $600K – 2.8x

Listing Type (?): Solid!

This dog food brand has been around for 14 years and claims to solve a major problem —dog allergies — with an expert developed proprietary formula. With 64% margins and inventory accounting for just 3% of annual revenue, it runs lean while maintaining strong profitability. Interestingly the business does report $2,586 per month for rent — which seems unnecessary assuming this is all contract produced.

The listing states there’s no competition because the industry doesn’t recognize a dietary solution for allergies. If true, it presents a strong opportunity. The pet market is huge and growing. The brand hasn’t been scaled properly, and with the right push, there could be significant upside.
