Over the past years, the e-commerce space has welcomed countless entrepreneurs, leveraging technology’s strength to build successful ventures and ride the wave of changes in consumer behavior. But while many entrepreneurs are struggling to build their brands from scratch, AO Digital says: “Don’t build a business. Buy a business!” With its unrivaled expertise, AO Digital lays the groundwork and helps aspiring entrepreneurs land authentic investment opportunities in existing e-commerce brands.
A full-service agency, AO Digital specializes in aggregating e-commerce businesses geared to exit for multiple mergers and acquisitions, thus making a significant impact in the thriving e-commerce industry. Supported by its parent company Acquire N Exit, LLC, the venture manages and expands a portfolio of converting data and infrastructure to rehabilitate brands, increase enterprise value, and transform online assets to suit the needs of Private Equity buyers for a guaranteed exit.
As one of the leading companies in the industry, Acquire N Exit provides unrivaled services to its growing clientele and has kept an impressive track record of being the top-of-mind aggregator for purchasing e-commerce brands with solid cash flows and possessing actual exit value. As a result, the company plays an active role in changing the e-commerce landscape and taking it to greater heights.
“We treat our aggregation process no differently than a real estate investor treats their investment portfolio,” shared Acquire N Exit founder and CEO Alexander Olave. “We look for distressed properties; specifically e-commerce businesses, that can be rehabbed, allocate the necessary infrastructure to increase enterprise value, and exit our investors’ assets to a lined up Private Equity buyer ready to pull the trigger. Our investors can leverage their portfolio by acquiring true equity assets in cash-flowing brands from $300,000 to $1 million in annual revenue. Investors can leverage these brands as a piece of digital real estate in the online marketplace generating real estate returns without real estate timelines,” the founder explained further.
One unique attribute that makes AO Digital stand a cut above its competition is its secured relationships with Venture Capital and Private Equity, which allows the company guarantees an exit buyer every time. As a result, no digital asset remains stagnant in its portfolio and is quickly circulated back to investors. Additionally, the company provides a 150% return guarantee on capital for its investors, a record the venture has maintained over the last three years and a historic number that competitors in the field would struggle to reach.
On top of its guaranteed exit solution, AO Digital also invests in educating entrepreneurs about the best approaches and models to scale their e-commerce ventures. “We saw a major need to educate the market around drop shipping and e-commerce. Almost every investor we’ve talked to has been sold a pipe dream around Amazon, drop shipping, and how it could potentially make them rich overnight. We know this isn’t the case,” said Olave. “We wanted to educate the market and show them a true investment opportunity in the e-commerce space that yields results for years to come investing into an equity-backed asset with true exit value,” he added.
