Why use Exchange?
Exchange is the largest and fastest-growing marketplace for Shopify e-commerce stores
Verified listing data
The revenue and traffic data that you see on each listing is pulled directly from its Shopify account. This means that the data has been verified. Exchange reviews and monitors listings for thorough and accurate information.
Secure messaging platform
You will be able to communicate with sellers via a secure messaging platform. After you log in and request information from a listing, sellers are notified and have the ability to respond. When you are ready, you can make an offer.
Encrypted payment capture
Exchange and Escrow.com have partnered together to provide you with safe transactions that have bank encryption, making sure that payment is securely captured. Escrow.com ensures that its users pass verification checks before transactions can proceed.
Take time to inspect the business
Once you submit payment to Escrow.com and the payment has been secured, the funds are held until you confirm that all assets received are as negotiated. You can use the inspection period to ask the seller any extra questions about the business.
Safe store transfer
When the transaction is finalized, the dedicated migration team at Exchange will begin the process of making you the new owner of the store. Buyers and sellers will be notified via an email from the Exchange team once store transfers have been completed.
Post-purchase 24/7 Shopify support
Once you log into your Shopify account for the first time and choose a subscription plan, Shopify Support Gurus are available 24/7 to help you with the settings of the store.

New and established ecommerce stores for sale
The UK may have a relatively small land mass, but it is home to one of the world's most vibrant and powerful economies, and millions of potential customers. In other words, it's one of the best environments for an enterprising investor looking to start their first business or expand current business operations into a new market. On the Exchange Marketplace you can find a new or established United Kingdom business for sale in almost every industry, including apparel, health and beauty, electronics, and art and photography. We even sell a variety of services and consulting businesses. The companies for sale on this page are all currently based in the United Kingdom, but you don't need to live in the United Kingdom to purchase or operate one of them. Ecommerce and dropshipping technology allow you to run these businesses from anywhere in the world. Every business on the Exchange Marketplace comes with a fully functional ecommerce store and a pre-existing product line. We do encourage local purchases when possible, as this provides investors with an opportunity to meet the business owner they're buying from and verify the quality of any existing physical stock. There are also many grants, business development programs, and other support systems specifically for business owners based in the United Kingdom.
