This business is a patented, category-creating consumer electronics brand in the personal air-cooling space, available now at a clear discount to its proven earning power. Profitable for roughly 10 years, the brand generated $1.05M to $1.49M in SDE in its healthy years. Trailing-12-month SDE is $859K on $3.21M revenue, and the gap traces to one event. In 2025, the founder sold to a buyer who understocked for the summer peak and raised prices 20% as tariffs hit. That buyer defaulted, and the business returned to the founder in early 2026. Recovery is already on the scoreboard, with Q1 2026 revenue up 20% and quarterly SDE more than doubled before peak season. Partially paid in the failed deal, the founder can sell near the cost of building the business from scratch.
The moat is durable. Every product runs on a proprietary patented cartridge material that no rival has matched in 10 years. The brand holds more than 20 IP filings, award-winning product design, gross margins above 74% for five straight years, more than 100,000 active customers, a 100,000-subscriber email list, and 4,000 marketplace reviews. It is the number-one brand in its category in Australia.
For an existing consumer-products operator, the fit is clean. Peak demand runs May through September, counter-seasonal to most consumer goods, so the brand drops onto idle capacity. Logistics is automated across four regional 3PLs, and the favorable overseas factory contract transfers at close. Growth is untouched. An inbound performance-marketing channel already moves hundreds of units per day, retail is the category’s largest unentered channel, and a manufacturing-ready product waits on the road map.
