Multi million Turnover Trading Card & Collectables Retailer
Starling Corporate is proud to present a compelling acquisition opportunity for investors seeking to acquire a fast-growing, multi-channel retailer operating within the highly active and demand-led trading card, collectables and hobby market.
Founded in January 2021 as a founder-led start-up, the business has experienced remarkable growth, with turnover increasing from approximately £895,000 in FY 2023 to over £3.6 million in FY 2026.
Based on current trading and the FY 2027 forecast, turnover is expected to increase to approximately £4.5 million, with gross profit projected to reach £1.8 million.
The business operates through a well-established Shopify website, additional sales channels including eBay and TikTok Shop, and a recently opened physical retail store. The business has built a strong reputation within the trading card and collectables community, evidenced by an “Excellent” 4.9 out of 5 rating on Trustpilot.
The company benefits from significant barriers to entry in the UK trading card market, including established supplier relationships with the main distributor, which is currently not opening new trade accounts. This the business as a uniquely advantaged player in a market where new entrants face extremely limited access and restricted allocations.
The business is being offered for sale not due to trading difficulties, but rather to enable further growth under new ownership with additional investment and resources. With a robust operational platform, loyal customer base, established brand and significant growth opportunities, this business represents an attractive investment proposition.
Offers are Invited and Enquiries are Encouraged.
An opportunity summary is available to interested parties, and a detailed information memorandum outlining the brand, financials and growth opportunities can be provided upon signature of a non-disclosure agreement.
