Business Story

Why this business was started

I started this business with my friend and co-founder in the beginning of 2020, we were extremely passionate in this niche and had some great ideas for potential products to grow it into a real brand that could make a difference within the sport we love. In addition to making an impact charitably, we realized there was a massive opportunity to gain marketshare within the community if we were to provide an excellent product with a great message.

The reason of selling this business

Although it has been an incredible ride growing this and speaking with all types of wonderful people, we really can't make the time necessary between day jobs and real estate ventures. The business is extremely ready to 'take off' with the right owner, we just can't allocate the time necessary to properly scale it to the potential it has within it.

What's involved in running this business

  • Managing the designer and creating new designs and products based on market and customer feedback
  • Fulfilling orders when necessary and providing top-tier customer support

  • Speaking with and identifying suppliers, sampling fabric, colors, designs, measurements, etc
  • Managing Social Media Accounts to ensure up-to-date and clean online presence
  • General website maintenance
This business was founded: over 2 years ago
Time to run this business: approximately 10 hours per week

Other details about profit: Normal apparel-based E-commerce margins, sales were dependent on when we would turn on advertising campaigns. As you can see in May-July, this is what the brand has potential to do monthly, we just didn't have the time and resources to continue growing at that pace. Can easily scale to $250/day post-acquisition (same day) depending on how comfortable buyer is with paid media.

    Hello! We are the co-founders of TrophyCatch Supply, and we are two younger entrepreneurs with a strong interest in fishing, and two years ago, we found a opportunity in the market to create/build a brand that we wanted to be proud to wear, and also be charitable to causes that were extremely important to us. We are very invested in seeing the success of this brand flourish, and want to do everything we can with the new buyer to make that happen.
