A direct-to-consumer motorcycle accessories retailer, specializing in serving Australian and New Zealand customers, has established itself with a comprehensive selection of high-quality, internationally recognized products, fast, affordable shipping, and competitive pricing against overseas competitors. Originating as a single eBay store nearly two decades ago, it has expanded into a multi-store e-commerce platform through three specialized Shopify websites. The business streamlined its operations in 2022 by focusing solely on its owned Shopify ecosystem, enhancing gross margins by cutting out third-party fees.
Key strengths of this enterprise include exclusive distribution agreements with top international brands, such as Competition Werkes and Womet.Tech, that fortify its regional dominance in Oceania. It boasts an impressive return on advertising spend, with significant percentages coming from Google and Meta ads. The retailer captures the majority of its sales in Australia and New Zealand, operating efficiently with minimal staffing beyond the two co-owners.
The decision to sell the business is driven by the co-owners’ desire for new ventures after years of successful growth. The sale includes inventory valued at $101,000 AUD and offers up to 90 days of transitionary consulting support from the founders. The company holds a strong position in organic search within its niche, and the new owner could explore growth opportunities like reactivating marketplace channels, expanding digital advertising, and monetizing a substantial email subscriber list.
