How do you transform your FBA brand from a side hustle that simply helps you get by, into a powerhouse business designed to last? 

Ben Donovan has discovered the secrets to answering this important question. Ben is a 7-figure Amazon FBA seller and the founder of Brand Builder University, an educational resource that teaches entrepreneurs how to launch profitable Amazon FBA brands.

Ben gives us the lowdown on why an increasing number of FBA entrepreneurs are looking to sell their businesses. He also explains why building your business with a mindset to sell will set you up for greater success down the line. 

Ben sells on 9 different Amazon marketplaces across North America and Europe. He explains how external influences like the pandemic and Brexit have affected European FBA businesses, as well as the benefits of selling in multiple marketplaces. According to Ben,

“If you're selling in the US, you could launch in Canada, or in the UK on your very next inventory order. It’s super easy and it could add 20 or 30% to your sales, if not more, and you don't have to find a new product, supply chain, or supplier.”

Ben also walks us through how to set up an effective exit planning strategy and explains why he’s planning on shifting away from building online businesses, into buying them.
