Heather: 我对这款淋浴过滤器很感兴趣,特别是它能给头发补充维生素的功能。我认为这款产品听起来很棒,而且40%到50%的销售额来自滤芯的重复购买,这表明其经常性收入非常可观,这让我对购买这款产品充满兴趣。 Bill: 这是一款销售额达1000万美元的亚马逊FBA业务,EBITDA超过250万美元,主要销售淋浴过滤器,并有40%到50%的客户会更换滤芯,带来经常性收入。这家公司自2017年就已成立,这很难得,因为很多亚马逊公司成立时间都很短。不过,这家公司是由经验丰富的亚马逊生态系统专业人士创建的,这意味着这可能不是他们唯一的业务。卖家建议在西海岸设立一个3PL,这暗示着他们现在是在自己的仓库或3PL中完成的,而且你不能继续这样做。这意味着你必须获得报价,了解新的成本,并根据不在他们设施中的情况重新计算EBITDA。

But there's a catch—its supply chain is deeply tied to China, and new tariff policies may render the business nearly untransactable.

They also dive into new SBA SOP updates and creative (and sometimes sketchy) ways sellers are dodging tariffs.🔑 Key Highlights:

  • 40–50% of revenue is recurring via cartridge replacements
  • New SBA lending SOP may open doors for carve-outs
  • Deep dive into how tariffs (up to 200%) are freezing e-commerce deals
