Established in 2013, this company is the industry-leading ecommerce retailer specializing in police scanner radios. Operating across Shopify (59%), Amazon (40%), and eBay (2%), the business delivers technical expertise and personalized support with the goal of making scanning easy.

This turnkey, extremely passive business requires just one hour per week of owner time, supported by comprehensive SOPs, loyal employees of over three years, and systems refined over 12 years. Defensible competitive advantages include a proprietary programming service with 75% attach rate, direct manufacturer relationships with improved margins, and dominant SEO ranking as number one for major scanner keywords. Five years ago, the owner launched a separate pet industry venture several times larger, resulting in the business operating in maintenance mode with zero new content since 2019 yet still generating $788K in trailing twelve-month revenue.

Immediate high-ROI opportunities include content refresh using AI, programming automation, and diversification into adjacent categories (CB radios, marine radios, radar detectors) that could double revenue. A new scanner launching Q1 2026 will replace the current best-seller and deliver the largest sales month in company history.

The business is built on a powerhouse SEO foundation, ranking number one for virtually every major scanner keyword with over 99% organic traffic. YouTube videos have generated over 100K views, with customers mentioning daily that they discovered the business through this evergreen content. Despite zero new content creation in six years, the site still drives 14,786 active email subscribers and significant organic traffic, representing massive untapped potential. Refreshing content with AI tools, creating new product videos, and optimizing existing assets could recapture declining Shopify traffic and accelerate growth, with the owner projecting 25% sales growth in the first two months and sales doubling in 12 months.
