Expansion potential
The market for online original art sales is expanding rapidly and heading north. This is an excellent time to get into this new and exciting marketplace. With little investment, this business is set to dominate the online art market because of the sheer quality of the setup and customer experience.

Competition / Market
Weak competition from established online art sales sites which deliver a poorer customer experience with fewer artworks for sale. eBay could be considered a competitor but our customers are not looking for the kind of art that is for sale there. We offer a more upmarket experience to more discerning customers.

Support & training
Anyone can be trained to run this business in a day. But I will provide one week full time training (if needed) and up to two month's remote support and assistance by email and telephone.

Reasons for selling
Moving abroad and taking core businesses with us.
