Vantage Digital

Own an online brand.
Without running one.

We build a brand that sells its own products online, then we run it for you. We find the product, design the brand, build the shop, buy the advertising and get the orders shipped. You own the company and you keep the profit. We do the work.

Starting a shop is easy. Keeping it profitable is the job.

Anyone can have a website taking orders in a month. Whether it is still making money next summer comes down to a few hundred small decisions made in between. Nobody sells you that part, and it is the only part that decides how it ends.

Do it yourself

Everything you need to know is free online. What it will not tell you is which decision to make on a Tuesday when your refunds jump. You learn that with your own money.

Paid for in ad spend and evenings

Pay an agency to build it

You get a shop, a supplier contact and a handover call. Then the invoice arrives and they move on. From that morning you are running a business you have never run.

Ends the moment it gets hard

Bring in people who have done it

Operators who have already built brands, already made the expensive mistakes, and already know which suppliers answer the phone. They build it, then they stay and run it.

The reason Vantage exists

What we have built, bought and run.

Twenty brands in eight markets, none of them run by the people who own them.

Built from nothing, then sold
A martial arts gear brand started from a blank page for an owner with no online experience. Fourteen trading months. It never had a losing one.
$199,000Sale price on a $25,000 build
Bought broken, turned around
A recovery equipment brand losing money the month we took it on. Seven months later it sold to a strategic buyer.

Still running it after the sale
The new owner kept us on to operate it. Profit has gone up since the day they bought it, which is the whole point of an operator who stays.

Anyone can hand you a shop. Very few will stay and run it.

A shop going live is not a business. The business is everything after: someone buying advertising before breakfast, reordering before the stock runs out, and knowing why last month's profit moved before you have to ask.

We could charge three times as much to build it and be gone by the launch. Plenty do. We charge less at the front and take a fifth of the profit instead, because a share of profit is worth nothing unless the brand is making some. It is the cleanest way we know to make sure the people running your brand want the same month you do.

What sits with us, every day

  • The product. Finding it, sampling it, agreeing terms, checking quality
  • The advertising. Buying and testing it on Meta and Google
  • The pictures and video. Made and replaced as they wear out
  • The shop. Layout, pricing, and turning visitors into orders
  • The stock. What to reorder, when, and getting it shipped
  • The numbers. One report a month, in plain English, with the workings

Start from nothing, or fix something that stalled.

Build a brand

A blank page to a shop taking orders in thirty days. For owners who want to own the business without hiring a team to create it.

  • We pick the category and the product
  • We prove the maths works before anything is bought
  • We find the supplier, order samples, agree terms
  • We design the brand, the packaging and the pictures
  • We build the shop and set it up to convert
  • We launch the advertising and scale it

Take over the one you have

For a shop already trading that has flattened out or is quietly losing money. We rebuild the accounts from your source records rather than your dashboard.

  • Profit and loss rebuilt from the raw data
  • What each product really makes, after every cost
  • A full teardown of the advertising
  • Supplier and shipping costs checked
  • Written findings, yours to keep either way
  • Hand the running of it to us if you want to
Have your shop checked

Or skip the build and buy one that already makes money.

Online businesses are bought and sold like property. If you have the cash and would rather not wait for a new brand to find its feet, you can buy one that is already trading and already profitable. We find them, take the accounts apart properly, negotiate the price, and run it for you after it closes.

How buying one works

  1. Tell us the budget and the sort of thing you want. We work to your mandate, not to whatever we happen to be selling.
  2. We shortlist and approach the owners. Most good businesses never get publicly advertised.
  3. We rebuild the accounts from source. Bank statements, supplier invoices, ad platform data. Not the seller's spreadsheet.
  4. You get the findings, including the reasons not to buy. If the numbers do not hold, that is the first thing you read.
  5. We negotiate and support the deal to close. The price we advise is the price the rebuilt accounts support.
  6. We run it for you afterwards. Same terms as a brand we built.

The team you would otherwise have to hire.

A brand that stays profitable needs three people on it. One buying the advertising, one making pictures and video fast enough to feed it, and one holding suppliers, stock and returns. Putting them on your payroll looks like this.

The jobTheir salary if you hire With Vantage
Buying the advertising
A media buyer you would trust, $4,000 to $6,000 a month
Included
Making the pictures and video
A producer working at the rate the adverts use them, $2,500 to $3,500 a month
Included
Holding stock and shipping
Someone on suppliers, stock and returns, $2,500 to $3,500 a month
Included
Before day one
Two to three months finding them, then months more teaching them your product, your suppliers and your numbers
Working the day you sign
Every month, in wages
$9,000 to $13,000
$2,500

Those are wages for three people. What you spend on advertising is separate, it stays your money, and we agree the number with you before anything runs.

The cost is fixed. What it earns is the part worth arguing about.

Published prices, held. All figures in US dollars.

Build

We build the brand, hand you the keys and the plan for running it, and step back. Sensible only if you already have people who can run it.

Build and run

What most owners choose

The same build, and then we stay. Advertising, pictures, suppliers, stock and reporting sit with us. You approve the decisions that matter and keep everything you own.

Build, one time $8,000on signature
Once it is selling $2,500 / moor 20% of profit, whichever is higher
  • A senior operator on your brand daily, not an account manager
  • Advertising bought at cost, no markup and no commission
  • A full team for about a quarter of what employing one costs
  • Nothing is charged during the build. The monthly fee starts the day you go live
  • You pay the $2,500 or the 20%, never both. The two are equal at $12,500 of monthly profit
  • Six months to begin with, then thirty days notice whenever you want

Your money

Stock and advertising are yours to fund and depend on the category. Both are worked out and agreed before you commit to anything.

Ownership

The company, the shop, the brand, the pictures, the customer list and the stock are in your name from the first day.

If you want it back

It is your asset, so take it. Six months to begin with, then thirty days. Accounts, suppliers and procedures go with you.

Reporting

One set of numbers a month, in plain English, with the workings behind every line.

Checking over a shop you already own is $500. Advice by the hour is $125. Where that turns into written procedures for your team, those are scoped and priced separately. Buying a business is priced separately.

Thirty days to your first order.

Weeks 1 to 2

Prove it

Product, suppliers and the maths checked before anything is bought.

Weeks 3 to 4

Build it

Brand, shop and pictures made. First stock ordered.

Day 30

Open

Advertising on. First orders landing in a company with your name on it.

Month 2 onward

Run and grow

We run it. Adverts replaced as they tire, stock kept ahead of demand, profit held.

You choose how close you sit to it. Some owners take a weekly call and see every advert before it runs. Others take the numbers once a month and get on with their lives. Neither changes what we do.

Tell us what you want to own.

Half an hour, no slides. Bring an idea you have been thinking about, a shop you already have, or nothing at all. You will leave knowing what it takes to build, what it costs to run, and what has to be true for it to work.

If it is not a fit, you will hear that on the call rather than three weeks into a proposal.
