Own the operating business behind ROYAL SILK — the celebrated silk brand founded in 1978, a catalog-era national name (2.5—3 million circulation at peak) that still sells today through its branded website (≈65% of revenue) and established Amazon storefront (≈32%). This is an asset-backed acquisition priced INSIDE its independently appraised range and engineered to transact at appraised value: the $325,000 ask includes approximately $446,000 (cost basis) — nearly $1.5 million at retail (~2 year supply) — of premium silk inventory across 115 SKUs (pocket squares, ties, scarves, boxers, sleepwear, women's silk) at roughly fifty cents on the cost dollar. Do the math a buyer's accountant will do: $225,000 of the price is inventory, meaning you pay $100,000 for the entire operating business — about 2.3x post-license cash flow, below the 2.6x—4.0x market band for e-commerce businesses. The stock covers about three years of sales with zero replacement
purchases — the inventory substantially pays you back while you operate (full payback of the total investment in approximately four years on the conservative pro forma). You also receive the complete e-commerce infrastructure (website, photography archive, Amazon listings and reviews, 19,000-contact customer list), the founder's five-decade silk supplier pipeline, and a 10-year exclusive license to the ROYAL SILK name (6% of net sales, $35,000/yr minimum — flat and predictable at current volume; the founder keeps the trademarks and becomes your aligned licensor — a license, NOT a franchise: no FDD, no manuals, no audits, full operating freedom). TTM revenue ≈$503K at ≈70% gross margin; ≈$44K owner cash flow after the license fee, before the inventory advantage. Asking $325,000 for the business assets, plus the $35,000 first-year license fee at closing (total Year-1 investment $360,000). Month-to-month lease on a 3,000 sq ft NJ. warehouse: keep it or move the whole operation. Founder provides transition support. NDA required for the CIM, buyer pro forma, and full inventory schedule.
