Description:
e-Book Traders, Inc. is a start up Florida Corporation that opened on February 26th, 2006. The company sells used books on the internet through primary book selling web sites such as (URL removed), (URL removed), Abebooks, eBay, (URL removed), and (URL removed).
e-Book Traders, Inc. started by buying bulk inventory and entering its first book in March of 2006. We entered the first 20,000 books and started selling in April of 2006. Revenue for the first year (partial year) were $200,000. We have continued to re-invest in the business very aggressively since its inception with inventory, staffing, computers, and software. The business now has over 100,000 books in inventory and is continuing to grow.
The sales for 2007 were over $500,000 which represents a significant increase in revenues over the prior year.
The business has a trained staff, vendors in place for new inventory, computer software for inventory receiving, order processing, and inventory management. This business is primed for growth and is seeking a new investment to grow the business to over $1 million in revenues by adding new products and expanding our overseas sales of books by the container.
We are seeking an initial investment of $150,000 to used for growth and debt consolidation.
