FBA / Drop Shipping Site Question

June 16, 2020
by a searcher from University of Pennsylvania - The Wharton School in Dallas, TX, USA
Does anyone know of searchers who have acquired FBA / Drop Shipping business, or investors & banks who have backed such an acquisition? I see them on some of the SearchFunder emails, but not in broker channels. Curious if anyone has thoughts about how this category meshes with traditional search fund criteria, and if it's worthy of attention during search. Thanks.

They are worthy of attention, but come with many hazards and are thus bought by those with specific knowledge and skill sets required for such a business type... if you dont know how or why a business is ranking for a term on Amazon, then you should probably not be acquiring a business where 90% or more of sales might be driven by just 2 or 3 search rankings...
