Potential
As an ecommece business, the business can easily change direction to meet the market places needs. We have identified several product lines within our business that can be easily expanded from quality overseas suppliers. The business would also benefit from someone with a strong IT and marketing background, both of these things have been lacking. We also beleive a expanded product offering would be advantageous. The business relocation to a captial city and joining the Capricorn Society would give greater access to a broader customer base.
Skills
Expirenence in Automotive spare parts. Computer, IT and marketing skills. Warehousing expirence would be a bonus.

I only currently work a couple of hours per day 4 days per week. The website runs 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
Lease
No current lease. The business is currently run out of my other businesses premises. Requires relocation.
Employees
Myself- under 10 hours per week.
Reason for Sale
I am retiring. I currently have this and another business, both are due to be sold within the next 18 months.
About the Business
We currently specialize in Toyota Hiace & Commuter parts from 1982 to current day. With many spin off sales into other Toyota models. But saying that, International Auto Parts could be selling anything, the beauty of ecomemce is the ability to change direction at will ,with in a short period of time.Our current offering of parts cover, Air-conditioning, Belts & Pulleys, Brake & clutch, Cooling Systems, Senders and switches, Engine Parts, Filtration, Fuel system, Ignition -start & charge, Lights, Steering & suspension, Transmission & Axles-wheels & Bearings. We have strong and reliable suppliers in Thailand and China that we have dealt with for over 10 years. We service workshops, fleets/ taxis,airport and domestic shuttles and retail customers across the counrty. Theres opportunity to expand into New Zealand and the South Pacific, with many inquires coming from these areas. There's also a major opportunity to increase our current sales to the various camper van for hire companies, as we're currently in discussions with them. This business can easliy be ramped up and double or triple its annual turnover once companied with the right owner. We have identifed a few possible areas of ownership for this business. The ideal owner of this business would be a current Parts business looking to expand it's current offerings or move into the ecommerce space or Automotive wrecker or major fleet owner. Major fleet owners would dramatically reduce there current expenditure on parts, while making a tidy profit on the side.
History
The business was started over 10 years ago to service the taxi and airport shuttle bus industry across the country, as we had identified a shortage in the market place in accquiring spare parts for Toyota Hiace & Commuter for our then fleet workshop business. In 2023 after co-vid it was decided to downsize the business for my own health, to reduce stock levels and overheads,moving into smaller premises to make it more managable and prepare it for sale. The business has a mile of potential in the right hands.
