Online store for pet accessories and pet emergency products
For sale is an established e-commerce business in the pet sector with its own physical product, a digital emergency profile function, and a custom-developed app.
The business model is based on the direct sale of a physical pet emergency product through its own online shop. Customers buy a product for their pet and can use the connected digital function to store important emergency information. This combination of a real product and digital application offers pet owners clear emotional and practical value.
The project has already been successfully validated in the market. In the previous financial year, it generated revenue of around €150,000. Over the last 12 months, despite reduced operational focus, it still generated around €80,000 in revenue. These figures demonstrate real market demand and show that the business model has already proven to be scalable.
A key strength is its efficient cost structure. Production costs are approximately €0.55 per product, allowing for attractive margins. Monthly fixed costs are very low at around €150 for technical infrastructure, app hosting, the shop system, the domain, and tools. Marketing costs are variable and can be adjusted flexibly depending on the growth strategy.
Particularly valuable is the combination of a physical product, proprietary software solution, and a clearly defined target audience. This is not just a typical online shop, but a complete product and app concept with existing revenue history, technical infrastructure, supplier structure, product positioning, shop system, digital user experience, and a tested market approach.
The project has so far been scaled primarily in the DACH region. International markets have hardly been explored, creating considerable additional growth potential. There is also room to expand into additional pet products, accessories, subscription models, insurance partnerships, B2B partnerships, or white-label solutions.
The asking price is justified because a buyer is not starting from scratch, but taking over an already validated and operational business model. Included are a proprietary product, a custom-developed app, an existing shop system, historical revenue, a clearly defined target audience, low ongoing fixed costs, attractive product margins, and several realistic scaling opportunities.
The project is particularly well suited for companies or buyers in the areas of pet supplies, e-commerce, animal health, insurance, emergency products, digital pet solutions, or DTC brands seeking to acquire an existing, high-margin, emotionally appealing product and scale it further.
With its combination of validated revenue, very low product costs, proprietary app, clear customer benefit, and largely untapped international potential, the project offers a rare opportunity to acquire an already established business model with strong expansion potential.
