Established in 2019, this business has pioneered innovation in the Portable Food Container market with a unique patented product. Featured on the Drew Barrymore Show, Forbes, and BuzzFeed, the brand has built a significant market presence with over 11,195 Amazon reviews (4.0 stars) and 100K+ social media followers across platforms. The brand has consistent sell-through across multiple sales channels including Amazon, Shopify, Walmart, and wholesale.
The business maintains strong competitive barriers through comprehensive intellectual property (IP) protection, including 12 trademarks and 16 patents registered in 29 countries. This IP portfolio has successfully prevented copycat products through proven Amazon Brand Registry enforcement.
Currently in a distressed position due to inventory management challenges and cash-flow issues, the business requires an expedited sale to preserve brand value and clear outstanding debt obligations. The owners invested heavily in R&D for a new product but now do not have the funds to launch it. Recent manufacturing issues led to significant Q1 2024 stockouts, which severely impacted revenue and led the owners to take out high-interest-rate debt.
Immediate growth opportunities include a new product version ready to launch and proven marketing campaigns that have been suspended due to the cash-flow crunch. Previous campaigns demonstrated an 8.86x return on ad spend. The established infrastructure includes comprehensive standard operating procedures, proven manufacturing relationships, a robust email list of 238,000 subscribers, and an experienced operations manager in place willing to continue. Historical performance demonstrated $4.6M annual revenue potential, presenting an attractive entry point for a well-capitalized buyer who can move quickly.
**The price of $1.45M includes ~$130K of good, saleable inventory (landed cost value).
