A profitable, 4-year-old Illinois-based ecommerce business supplying safety gloves, personal protective equipment, embroidered apparel and branded promotional items to the aviation ground handling industry. The company sources products directly from established suppliers, sells at a lower price point than traditional distributors, and fulfils orders through a simple online store with reliable carrier shipping. It is run by a solo owner in roughly 5-8 hours per week.
Key highlights:
- Revenue: ~$133K over the last 12 months (~$11K per month)
- Profit: ~$56K over the last 12 months (~$4.7K per month), a ~43% margin, with roughly $70K of seller-estimated owner benefit after add-backs
- Products: impact-resistant safety gloves (the top seller), bulk PPE, embroidered workwear and polos, and promotional merchandise
- Customers and channels: B2B bulk and repeat purchase orders from airport ground handling station teams across the US, plus direct online sales, with net-45 terms for business customers
- Traction: ~95% repeat customers, ~57% gross margin, a 3.7% website conversion rate and a 0% refund rate
- Inventory: stock is available separately from the asking price and sits in northeast Illinois; the sale also includes a commercial embroidery machine and heat press
- Owner support: 30 days of post-sale support plus supplier and customer handover
Growth opportunity: a new owner can replicate the proven model with other ground handlers, airlines, cargo and fueling providers and airport contractors, grow the branded promotional line, use the in-house embroidery capability to serve local businesses outside aviation, and invest in marketing, since growth to date has come mainly from relationships and repeat orders.
