This is an outstanding opportunity to acquire a well established and rapidly growing e-commerce business serving a lucrative niche market in the farm and ranch industry. The business is five years old with revenues of $384,000 projected for 2009. We have seen significant recovery in sales in the last 5 months to pre-recession levels and conservatively project $523,000 for 2010 which is flat sales through 2010 at current monthly volumes. The website runs on the OrderStorm ecommerce platform. High quality, brand-name merchandise for the site comes from over 20 manufacturers. The business can be relocated anywhere as all products are dropped shipped directly from the manufacturer to the end customers. The product line includes cattle guards, hay feeders, troughs, waterers, bulk feed bins, farrier supplies, instant barns/garages, reflective insulation, tack racks, saddle pads and more. The site can be expanded indefinitely to make the product line both broader and deeper. The customer base consists of ranchers, construction companies, and government entities. The customer email list is available with the sale for email or catalog mailing campaigns. Credit card fraud in this customer base is non-existent.

Facilities: The store is hosted on the OrderStorm software platform including a shopping cart complete with search engine optimization (SEO), drop ship program, ordering management, vendor management, customer service (CRM) and guerilla Internet marketing applications. The buyer can continue to host with the current provider or move the site to a different host.

Competition: The store is poised for tremendous growth as more rural areas gain high speed internet access. We have a list of manufacturers that would like to market their products through the store and only need manpower to load the products into the shopping cart.

Support/Training: Management will transfer all knowledge of the farm and ranch market as well as knowledge of internet marketing techniques to the buyer.

Reason Selling: Outside the parent company's main focus.
