Assets like social media accounts, email lists, and customer reviews can make your business attractive to buyers. Shopify is a valuable platform for selling your business, as you have control over your own website and traffic. Starting a business with the intent to sell can be a strategic approach. Flippa.com, BizBuySell, and EmpireFlippers.com are resources for selling your business. Selling starter businesses can be a lucrative opportunity.
