Established Online Medical-Grade Skincare Business, Fully Relocatable

Overview

Offered for sale is an established and profitable online retailer of medical-grade skincare, trading through a well-built Shopify store and generating turnover of approximately £303,726 in its latest year. The business sells professional cosmeceutical skincare direct to consumers across the UK, with every order fulfilled through a third-party logistics (3PL) provider and a lean, home-run model that is fully relocatable.

The professional brands sold require the retailer to hold trade accounts, so the ideal buyer is a nurse, doctor, aesthetics practitioner or clinic able to open professional accounts with the suppliers. For such a buyer this is a ready-made online arm to bolt on to an existing business, with the brand, website, customer database and goodwill all included; a medically qualified buyer could equally run it as a standalone venture.

A key strength is the gated main range: customers must register on the website and are re-checked each time they sign in before they can order, which builds genuine loyalty and repeat business. Average order value is around £90, supported by a loyalty programme and subscriptions, with an annual membership scheme being introduced.

• Gated, loyal customer base with strong repeat purchasing
• Average order value of around £90

Location

The business is based in London, but as a pure e-commerce operation with outsourced fulfilment it has no geographic ties and can be run from anywhere in the UK. The precise location is disclosed on receipt of a signed NDA.

Premises & Tenure

There are no commercial premises. The business is home-run, with stock held and dispatched by its 3PL fulfilment partner, so no lease or property interest is involved. The sale is structured as a business and assets sale of the going concern: the limited company is not being sold, but the brand, trading name and trademark all transfer to the buyer. Supplier trade accounts do not transfer; the buyer opens their own accounts, and the main brand moves registered customers across to the new account.

Next Steps

Enquiries are invited from nurses, doctors, aesthetics practitioners and clinics able to hold professional trade accounts with the suppliers. The Information Memorandum, including the business name, trading details and full financial information, is released on completion of a short NDA. Full details are available in the Information Memorandum.
