[Schedule a call]( Just a toe in the water or dive straight in? Buying an eCommerce business This 3 minute read is best for first time buyers looking to acquire an ecommerce business. Flippa blog The new favoured investment of many busy professionals is the acquisition of online businesses, because of the generally higher yield than real estate or share portfolios. Additionally, in view of their own demanding time commitments, often the key selection criteria when deciding on an e-commerce business for purchase is that once the deal is done the website on which the business is founded, along with the revenue stream it produces, can be largely self-managing. On the other hand, many retired or semi-retired ‘baby boomer’ investors achieve a great sense of engagement from acquiring online businesses where they can see a potential for growth and improvement, drawing on their own active involvement in the development of the business. So, fully understanding the level of ongoing time investment which will be needed over the long-term, whether minimal or fully actively engaged, is a critically important consideration in buying any online business. We all understand the process of buying real estate for investment, or a conventional goods or services business. We have a good sense of the selection criteria to apply in choosing an investment, and the due diligence needed before making a final decision. However for many investors, e-commerce businesses are unknown territory so there is an understandable tendency to play safe and avoid risk by beginning with only a low-cost entry investment to test the waters. Yet, an overly cautious entry is not necessarily the wisest strategy. The lowest prices are obviously attached to lower-performing and lower-yield businesses, which may or may not have strong growth potential. If the potential is genuinely there, then a corollary of the very modest financial investment will be the need for a high buyer engagement level and ongoing time commitment. So let’s look at how it all works Essentially the success of the online business you are considering purchasing depends on the traction gained by the website itself. Generally it is high quality, engaging content that drives regular and growing traffic to the site. Many highly successful e-commerce businesses largely outsource the content to paid freelance content writers. Good content writers are readily available in virtually any field and constitute a very affordable operating expense if the website is established and running effectively. Of course, many business owners either write or edit the content themselves, and often find this direct involvement essential to their sense of engagement with the business. This discretionary control over the level of the buyer’s personal time investment is one of the most appealing aspects of online business acquisition. There are different types of revenue streams which a successful web-based business can produce, assuming that it is not seeking to sell its own unique product inventory. (Inventory-based businesses which develop and sell their own products in an online environment, or hold the rights as a franchise or official reseller, are in a different category and are not considered in this article.)
