In an age of pandemics and increasing risk of world war, this savvy business is positioned at the intersection of two growing trends: rapidly increasing consumer spending on survival essentials and e-commerce-based subscription services (“Box of the Month Clubs”).  This company is growing at a rate of 36% year-over-year. It’s important to note that these revenues are subscription-based, predictable, and recurring.  The model for this company was proven successful even before the onset of COVID, and other serious geopolitical issues occurring worldwide.  These events playing out worldwide appear to fuel increasing consumer demand in the survival market category, further driving growth in subscription revenues and increasing profit margins.

If you’re looking for a business that can benefit from the unknowns playing out on the world stage, while building a predictable model for recurring revenue, this business is at the crossroads of multiple expanding trends.

Box of the Month subscription services are a relatively new phenomenon. Consumers subscribe, and perpetually receive a monthly box with items that meet with their interest; in this case, survival essentials.  Customers are charged a monthly, perpetual fee for ongoing membership. Creating a model in this format – with metrics that have deep retention and minimize churn – are the envy of subscription-seeking online retailers.  This company has proven the model and continues to build momentum at the heart of a growing market segment.

The sellers are marketing experts in the rapid growth phenomenon of “Box of the Month” subscription services. In addition to the rapid success of the acquisition opportunity at hand, the Sellers also operate a corollary business that provides deep marketing and operational services for a wide range of e-commerce subscription services that span multiple industries, and they have helped numerous box-of-the-month businesses succeed.

The Seller can optionally remain involved at both a strategic and tactical level – for a semi-absentee-seeking Buyer looking for a hands-off role in day-to-day operations.  Alternatively, a strategic Buyer seeking to expand their own recurring e-commerce revenues can take the operational and tactical role internally, utilizing in-house resources instead.

If you’re looking for an e-commerce acquisition that capitalizes on the uncertainties of a changing world, a business that has predicable revenues and repeat customers by design – and that can be run virtually or rolled into an existing corporate e-commerce operation – take a closer look at this one-of-a-kind acquisition opportunity.
