SBA Pre-Qualified: Premium Tinned Fish Subscription Box Club
Business Description
$58K MRR | $1M+ TTM Revenue | 31% Subscriber Growth
This SBA pre-qualified business is the only trademarked, subscription-first brand in the premium tinned fish category. Founded in Boston in 2020, the business delivers a curated monthly box to paying members. Each box includes three premium tinned seafood selections sourced from around the world, a complementary snack or condiment, and a printed card with cannery stories and recipes. Customers do not browse a catalog or build a cart—they join a club. That distinction matters.
The subscription model produces predictable, recurring revenue with strong cash flow. Multi-month and annual plans collect revenue up front. New club memberships average $163 per order, gift memberships average $248, and gross margins exceed 50%. The business has scaled from $106K in revenue in 2022 to over $1M TTM, with YoY revenue and SDE growth at 66.4% and 70%, respectively, all without venture capital, retail shelves, or a large team.
The operation is built to transfer. A full-time operations manager handles all fulfillment through a third-party logistics provider. A dedicated marketing lead runs all paid acquisition on Meta and Google. Over five years, the seller built a content library of over 60 months of original recipes and cannery stories that come with the sale. Documented SOPs cover every core workflow.
Growth opportunities are concrete. Conversion rate optimization requires no new spend, only better landing pages on existing traffic. Corporate gifting is entirely undeveloped despite 45% of subscriptions being sold as gifts. Email automation, affiliate partnerships, and organic social remain largely untouched. Regional and premium tiers have clear demand but have not been built.
This trademarked brand ranks first organically for targeted keywords and holds a 5.0 rating across more than 300 Google reviews. With 1,300 active renewing subscribers, 31% YoY subscriber growth, and a blended CAC of approximately $50, this is a profitable, systemized business with a clear runway ahead.
Key Benefits:
Nearly 9x Revenue Growth, Strong Margins: Scaled from $106K in 2022 to over $1M TTM, with 66.4% YoY revenue growth, the business has generated $193K in SDE and $58K in current MRR, all at 50%+ gross margins.
Efficient, Scalable Acquisition Engine: A proven Meta and Google paid acquisition engine generated 3,338 new subscriptions in 2025 at a blended CAC of ~$50, driving 31% YoY subscriber growth to 1,300 active renewing members.
Gifting Channel with Untapped Upside: Gift memberships average $248.51 per order and represent 45% of all subscriptions sold, yet corporate gifting remains entirely undeveloped.
Perfect Reputation at Scale: The brand holds a 5.0 rating across more than 300 Google reviews, bringing a track record of customer satisfaction that transfers directly to a new owner.
Five Years’ Worth of Content Included: Over 60 months of original recipes and cannery stories are owned by the business, supplying a ready-made content library for the new owner.
Healthy Churn in a Sticky Category: At 10% monthly churn, the business sits within the healthy 8%–12% benchmark for physical subscription boxes, with formal retention programs still largely unbuilt.
Insulated from Tariff Exposure: All sourcing comes from Europe, Japan, and North America.
Organic #1 Rank for Targeted Key Words: The trademarked brand ranks first in organic search for its primary category keyword, delivering high-intent traffic without paid SEO investment
