This online business is one of the top online retailers of dried poppy pods (a significant niche in the flowers and crafts industry). Established in 2004, every year since its inception it has seen significant growth. The current owner of this business has set this business up to be entirely "hands-off". In a recent week he logged the time he spends working on the site - the result: 1 hour and 40 minutes. Besides growing rapidly and consistently, and besides being setup to require a minimal time investment from the owner, this business has established unique and exclusive relationships with their suppliers. No other retailer will be able to get the same relationships as this website has - a significant advantage protecting them from potential competition and giving them significantly higher gross profit margins (gross profit margins are slightly over 50%). Finally, this business has only just begun to realize its potential. Currently it only uses its strong natural search engine rankings to drive traffic to the site. Other marketing methods (such as Adwords, banners, sponsorships, etc) have not even begun to be explored. There are also other areas in which this business can easily expand and become even more profitable. There is little about this business that is undesirable. It is an uncommon business that offers a fantastic opportunity for a new owner.

Competition: The poppy pod market is a very large niche with relatively little competition. Market research on places such as eBay show that there is significant demand for poppies. This business has established itself in such a way so as to protect itself from competition through exclusive vendor relationships.

Growth/Expansion: While this web business has grown significantly each of the 4 years it has been established, it has a significant amount of room to grow. Currently there is very little marketing outside of natural search engine rankings being done. A full list of suggested improvements has been created by the owner.

Financing: Some financing will be considered

Support/Training: Owner will provide 30 days of transitional support.

Reason Selling: Current owner simply wants to move on.
