      That makes for a very risky proposition. If the investors give money, there's no guarantee they'll see any return and that they won't have their money in limbo for an undetermined amount of time.
      It makes a lot more sense to wait until they've found their footing, showed they're successful, and THEN invest a solid amount of money in order to take them from "profitable" to "hugely successful". It's just how investments work.

      @scifirocks 4 роки тому +9

      @@squalltheonly It's pretty much the same thing, but split into two categories (at least in the UK). Best before= long life food e.g. cans, snacks, bread, quality will decrease with time, but not safety. Use by= short life food e.g. refrigerated stuff, will become harmful if eaten after the date. It's illegal to sell food that's past it's use by date, but not best before dates. This is rarely done in shops though, it usually goes to landfill even though it is safe to eat. That's my I like companies like this, it saves me money, and reduces food waste.

    my family ran a brick-n-mortar business like this in the early 2000s selling past expiration and items with damaged packaging at big discounts. Margins averaged between 60 -80% depending on the supplier and the business was easily turning over 60k a month in profits. Its closed now, since my uncle passed and his partner went legally insane and ran it into the ground.
    Impression i got is they haven't figure out the supply channel. There are many retailers that are happy to pick up some extra cash on goods they cant sell.

      Of course they will invest in a business that is already succeeding if the valuation is favorable because that means they make money for sure, but they do take calculated risks. Just not wild nonsensical risks.

    It’s worrying that they had a turnover of £3.5m and only made a net profit of £130K which is only a 3.7% NPM and this is considering the owners are drawing virtually no salary. For an online business, I wouldn’t expect there to be many large overheads. Ok they said they had invested in a lot of IP but the costs associated to those would surely be capitalised rather than expensed, meaning no impact to P&L. Something doesn’t seem right here. As the adage goes, “revenue is vanity, profit is sanity, cash is king!”
