We have a Red Rocket client on the hunt for an e-commerce business to buy. It can be in any merchandise vertical. It must have $3-10MM in revenues and $0-$2MM in cash flow, and be willing to sell in the 4-5x cashflow range. This is obviously not going to attract high-flying growth stories, but instead, businesses that may need to be "cleaned up" or not doing the full range of marketing activities they could be today.
The buyer is a private equity firm that will want to own 100% of the company, and be transitioning in their own CEO. This firm is rolling up niche e-commerce businesses to aggregate revenues, to then seek operational, technology and marketing synergies between the businesses on the back end. If you think this describes you, or someone you know, please contact me via the form at the bottom of this page.
